Browns Farm Caravan Park

Liked Polite greeting and nice pitch.

Disliked not many footpaths to walk in local area, ideal for going outside the area, however, the local small roads are busy and have little or no paths. Could only find one footpath nearby and that was not great. But for venturing around the area...great.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are always happy to give advice on walks local to the site ,please do ask should you visit again or peruse the leaflets and maps available on site.

Liked A quiet site, albeit occasional lowing of cattle (due to it being a working farm). Pitches fairly flat, lots of hedge cover. Easy to reach from main road (the sat nav will deliver you to a bend in the road with no sign of the campsite, but don't panic, just look for the small Browns Farm sign on the side of the road around the bend to guide you the final 20m). Friendly owner. The walk to the nearest pub (Diggers Rest) is a 7-8 min walk along a quiet (but unlit) country road, so if heading out in the darker evenings, take hi-viz and a torch to be on the safe side. The site is well situated for Exmouth; there are several National Trusts not far away (A La Ronde, Killerton etc). Great alternative to staying in a pricey hotel if you are visiting something at Westpoint arena over a weekend.

Disliked There are only two women's toilets and two basins - quite understandable as this is predominantly a caravan/motorhome park rather than catering for tents, but worth bearing in mind. Lovely hot water though!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit.

Liked Roomy pitches, pleasant surroundings.
Pub in Woodbury Salterton was ok, a bit dark.
If you don't mind a walk try the two in Woodbury 1m away. They were a bit livelier.

All in all a nice site and handy for exploring the "...mouths" nearby.

Disliked Some road noise whichever found acceptable as it was quiet at night. Might bother some though.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Always a good idea to wear bright clothing and have a torch when walking on rural roads when dark. We have one row of pitches which are adjacent to an unclassified road which can be busy at peak times. Whilst the pitches are separated from the road by a well established hedge we are happy to move guests to another part of the site if we have availability should this be a problem .We are pleased that you liked our site and enjoyed exploring the area.

Liked Access, plots & location
Washing machine & dryer

Disliked Only two toilets & one shower
Too near farm (smells & some noise)

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are pleased that you had a good stay. We have four showers and five toilets we are sorry that you don't appear to have located them during your stay. We are clearly advertised as a working Farm so occasional noise and aroma should not be unexpected. Many locations with Farm in their address have long since ceased any connection with such activity. Our site has operated successfully in its position for many years so there are no plans at this time to relocate either the Farm or the Campsite.

Liked Remoteness. Small farm site. Very clean facilities. Decent sized pitches.
Bus stop at entrance on request.

Disliked Not a dislike but select a pitch away from hedgeline with trees as these are in shade most of the day.

From the manager: Thank you for visiting us and indeed for taking the time to leave a review. Always happy to accommodate guests requests when allocating a pitch when possible. Shade under trees is dependent on season and time of day and indeed the sun shining. We look forward to seeing you again.

Liked Small site with good showers, laundry and washing up facilities. Friendly owner and cleaning staff. Good location close to Exeter and Exmouth. Good value for money.

Both masts which serve the area give a good TV signal this is something however which we have no control of. Type of ariel seems to be a factor some fare better than others.
