Scenic countryside setting

  • Family-run park on a former stud farm and in a wildlife haven
  • Two and a half miles from the coast
  • Heated outdoor pool, bar, café, shop, takeaway and craft centre
Dithering re which setting you prefer for holiday accommodation – walks in the countryside versus hoofing it to the nearest beach? Try a countryside break by the sea at friendly and family-run Whitehill Country Park. On a former stud farm with converted stables and stone farm buildings, Whitehill is in a wildlife haven deep in the Devon countryside but only two and a half miles from the sands of the English Riviera: guaranteed, of course, to keep all sorts of neigh-sayers happy. Nature fans will champ at the bit to delve into the 40 acres of hill, woodland and countryside around the park, where 130 species of flora and ferns can be recorded neatly in nature-spotting notebooks and where local wildlife abounds: look out for badgers, kestrels, pheasants and buzzards among others. Meanwhile, beach buoys and girls will find the nearest sands only a couple of miles away: it’s but a short drive to the beaches of Paignton, Torquay and Brixham, and onto the 20 or so first-class beaches along this 22-mile stretch. On site there's a heated outdoor pool, plenty of play areas, walking trails, and nature all around; the park has won awards for its approach to wildlife management and conservation. Also around are letterboxing opps, a treasure trail to keep the little treasures occupied, and all the cons of a mod site such as a takeaway, café, shop and supping alfresco while watching the sun go down from the terrace at the Hayloft bar. Those who feel artistic can draw and paint in the indoor Shire Craft Centre; table tennis and a pool table are also on hand for indoor play.

What customers say

This well-kept, clean site has friendly staff. Facilities like showers, toilets, and pools get great reviews. Guests love the dog paddock, plenty of pitches, and family fun. Access road can be narrow, Wi-Fi a bit spotty, but most can't wait to return.

Electric grass pitch

A very nice site with families enjoying it with out making to much impact on the peace and quite.
As our first time we were not aware of all the facilities and entertainment put on.
We enjoyed having a breakfast and a bar meal in the evening. Indoor pool as well during a child free session.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Small site, mix of accommodation options, clean facilities, plenty of amenities, outdoor and indoor pool, great evening entertainment. Later checkout option for camping. Lots of parks, especially helpful to occupy the kids when pitching the tent! Close links to areas of interest

Disliked Pool could have been a little so we could’ve spent more time in it, but that’s if I'm being really fussy!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely site. lovely clean showers. Staff friendly. Clubhouse was nice with good food and drink. Handy shop on site.

Disliked We stayed in electric pitch 12 which was too far away from the electric point despite our standard electric lead we couldn’t use our electric as it was too far away. Therefore we couldn’t plug in our electric cooker and had to leave a day early as it was costing us to much to eat out

Recommend to friends Visit again

Fantastic stay and will definitely be a returning customer

Local attractions

The sights and activities around this part of Devon will suit all tastes: Dartmoor for active adventures, Totnes and Dartmouth for history and heritage – and the 22 miles of the English Rivieria for beaches, watersports, fishing and boat trips. The closest beach to Whitehill Country Park is Goodrington, a mile south of Paignton. After you’ve stretched out on the red sands, there are a few other options to check out: learn about the history of the English Riviera at the free Seashore Centre, pedal your way around the boating lake, or take the kids to the waterslides and pools of Splashdown at Quaywest. The English Riviera is of course also Agatha Christie territory – Greenway House was her holiday home (also where David Suchet as Poirot filmed his last scenes. Sniff.) If you can’t make it to the annual Agatha Christie festival (tsk), amble along the 10 landmarks of the Agatha Christie Mile in Torquay; eight of the sites have clues spelling out the name of a Christie character. Hint: it’s probably not ‘Miss Marple’.
