Broadleigh Farm Park

Liked Everything was just brilliant Toilets /showers excellent a great campsite. Thank you.

Liked Site was very peaceful and relaxed . We arrived and easily found the helpful notice showing us our pitch, the facilities were all self explanatory and there were people with permanent caravans on the site willing to help and advise. Toilets , showers and washing up area were all clean and fresh at all times. Our non electric pitch was level and we had a view over the campsite and the hills opposite. The easy walk to Stoke Gabriel where crabbing was popular and kayaks on the River Dart were available for hire was perfect for an evening stroll. We visited Dartmouth, Paignton, Brixham and Totnes all easy to reach from the site by car , we took the train to Plymouth , plenty of trains available even on a Sunday

Disliked Unfortunately we were not on site at any time when the cider bar was open , this did not spoil our stay but would have been nice to try

Liked Excellent facilities, beautifully maintained, lovely place, friendly reception.

Liked The site is very well kept and the toilet/showers very clean there is a well kept laundry room with washers and dryers plus sinks for washing up etc

Disliked It's not a dislike but definitely follow the written instructions on how to get there and don't rely on the sat nav I made that mistake not good

Liked Really beautiful setting for this site and plenty of room. Facilities were large and clean. Bus stop just down the road takes you to the bus station st Paignton where you can go anywhere. Very useful when you don't want to move the van.

Disliked On arrival very little to no information. Had to ask for directions from other campers to find the dog walk field and the waste disposal. Shop is open just two hours in the morning which wasn't very helpful. Tokens for the washing machine really expensive and hardly did a full load.

Liked The toilets and shower block were very good, clean and tidy. Reception on site but closed when we arrived/left so didn't use it.

Disliked When we arrived we looked for the welcome board, there wasn't one! We phoned the owner and eventually got an answer on the second time of calling only to find the notice board wasn't a board it was a piece of paper in the reception window to tell us our pitch.
We were parked right in the far corner, as far as possible from the toilets/showers. Our booking stated we were in a van so not helpful when there were other pitches nearer available and we were only staying one night. There was also dog poo at the back of our pitch and no one near us had a dog.
Pitch was also on a hill.

Liked Signage to site excellent.
Shower block excellent.
Well maintained site.

Disliked Nothing

Liked A lovely quiet site in the Devon Countryside. The amenities were clean and fresh with plenty of hot water.

Disliked Having to leave.

Liked Lovely site, with great views of rolling hills, well tended and maintained. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere without any fuss or bother.

Facilities spotless and well presented.

Within just a few miles of the Torbay towns and other useful resorts.

Disliked There’s nothing bad here, however just a few points…

The last mile of the journey is down a very narrow lane and I shudder to think what would happen if two caravans met in the middle! Don’t take any wrong turns either or you’ll simply get stuck.

Push button showers are pants. You cannot select a temperature and it’s really irritating.

Ultra thin toilet paper is also a really stupid cheapskate idea about has to be used ‘by the metre’

The pitches slope quite severely, how about a few bits of wood to borrow for levelling?

Liked The amenities block was very clean with really good space especially within shower cubikciles

Disliked 1- nobody greets you on check in and was not clear at all on pitch location just a a4 on a window. - constructive a notice board road side with A3 paper with details on if reception is going to be unmanned

2- the reception is only open between 9-11 am. There is no presence of any staff on the site at all. - constructive a pager button or phone at the reception could resolve that if man power is low.

3- the bar is only open on special occasions so if you were hoping for a nice cider from the site you are staying on is very unlikely to happen - constructive make this clear in the bookings and clearly display openings times somewhere visible.

4- the amenities block was too far away from the tent grass pitches with no electric. - constructive a portable toilet block by the top hedgerow would be more than suitable

5- tent pitches are very small and bunched everyone up together not the best use of space - constructive slight re design and more freedom for non electric campers

From the manager: I am sorry that our campsite didn't meet your expectations, however in response to your 'dislikes'
1. When reception is closed your pitch number is given on the reception door with a visible map below showing its location and of all the facilities available. We also have a very large notice board ,roadside, with a very large map and any notices put up for each day.
You are also given this information at the time of booking.
2. Reception is currently only open 9-11am as we are in low season and due to lower numbers it is not necessary for it to be manned all day at present. When the site gets busier we are open all day everyday. We also have staff working onsite every day with the general upkeep of the site, cutting grass, cleaning amenities and general maintenance so not sure how you didn't see anyone.
3. We do not advertise having a bar onsite as we only open it during peak season on a Friday and Saturday night. Cider is always available to buy onsite either from the reception area or from the cider shop which is open from 9am-5pm Mon-Fri.
4. Our amenities block is situated in the middle of the campsite making it accessible easily for all pitches, apologies if a 60 step walk is too far for you.
5. All our pitches are the same size and can easily accommodate twin axle caravans with awnings and a car so would have more than enough room for even the biggest of tents and a car.
