Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Could be lovely if some effort was made. Very strange vibe from owners
Powered grass campsite
Liked The location
Disliked It was advertised as a pub campsite but the pub was a small bar that only opens Fri/Sat and not even on a bank holiday. Farm shop is advertised but I didn’t see any produce on sale and despite advertising their own cider, when asked at “the bar” all they could offer us was a can of Thatchers. Sat at a table that was full of a left over cream tea, this was not cleared during the whole hour we were sat there, despite staff walking pass several times. No where on site to exercise dogs.
The toilets and showers were really dirty and looked as if they were not cleaned regularly. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but left after the first.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Great campsite and a lovely restaurant/bar we had a really nice afternoon tea 😁
Disliked Ordered 2 ploughman’s and got one board between two people which we did not think was enough for two people or the price .
Not enough toilets and a walk down hill not great for my disabled husband some toilets at the top of the field would be great addition

Over all a pleasant stay. The owners are very lovely.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Quite small site
Disliked All electric pitches are on a hill so makes camping in a tent tricky.
Not enough showers or toilets for the amount of people camping (only 3 of each) But it was a bank holiday so maybe busier than usual.

From the manager: Good morning. Thank you for your comments. We apologise if your pitch was a little tricky.
I must comment on the number of toilets and showers you quoted as there are in fact 8 toilets + 2 urinals & 4 showers,
possibly you didn't locate them all. Yes, being a bank holiday meant we were much busier than usual, with a lot of happy returning campers.
Best wishes,
Gerald & Pam.
Lovely dog-friendly site that allows fires…
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely dog-friendly site that allows fires & has big plot allocations. Good toilets & showers that are cleaned regularly. Terrific friendly owner & staff, with amazing food in the barn restaurant - excellent breakfast, cream tea & cakes.
Disliked The road that runs along one side is fairly busy in the day, though pretty quiet at night.

Liked Location is great. Views are excellent. Tea room/farm shop is decent. Friendly site
Disliked Showers could be improved. Electric grass pitch we were on was quite sloped (but managable)

Great site with everything you could need!
Powered grass campsite
Liked Despite being a relatively big site it was so peaceful! It had everything that we needed, plenty of drinking water taps, full facilities, and the staff were really helpful and kind. Perfect for us as a family with 2 young children as the location is fantastic for accessing attractions around Devon. It was also great value for what you get!
Disliked The showers were relatively basic and could have done with a bit of mould/mildew spray or a regrout.
The electric hook up on the pitch next door was broken and they had connected to ours; luckily the staff had a splitter but would have been useful to attach one prior to arrival to stop us having to seek one out!
Also the pitch was quite bumpy underfoot as well as on a slope; it wasn't too much of an issue for us being a relatively young family but wouldn't be great for anyone less mobile
