  • Adults-only farm site 10 minutes from English Riviera beaches
  • Outdoor haven: trails, tors and moors of Dartmoor within 30 minutes
  • Minibus service and fully licensed restaurant and bar on site
When the choice between beachy hols on the English Riviera and lush wanders in stunningly scenic national parks leaves you dithering, make your decision a doddle with a stay at Widdicombe Farm Touring Park, a family-run and adults-only site 10 minutes’ drive from the seaside town of Paignton on the Devon coast. The site's about 15 minutes from the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and half an hour from Dartmoor National Park, so there are plenty of spectacularly green vistas to hike, bike or drive through within easy reach – not to mention waterfalls, river banks and craggy moors... If the first thing into your suitcase was a swimming cossie, you’ve packed well for this particular getaway: Paignton’s Preston Sands beach is less than 10 minutes away (there’s a shuttle service from the site). If your quick sandy stroll seems to be picking up speed, turn it into a long-distance jaunt by accessing up the South West Coast Path at either end of the beach. There’s a small shop on site for groceries if you fancy bringing picnic supplies on your day trips, or you can hold off for a home-cooked dinner at Poppies, the on-site restaurant (open from Easter to September). After that, wander over to Gordon’s bar for a drink, or to take in the live entertainment.

What customers say

This adults-only spot is lauded for its great staff & spotless facilities, especially the showers. Campers love the tidy, roomy pitches and peaceful vibe. The bar and restaurant are hits. Easy road access is a plus, though some note road noise and few buses. Wi-Fi costs and low-season opening times can be tricky.

Liked Well set out site. Very clean. Polite and knowledgeable staff.
2nd time here and in no way dissatisfied with this excellent site. Good dog walking area.
Excellent shower and toilet block.

Disliked Bar and restaurant only open on Friday and Saturday, however it was the end of season and quite understandable.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi there, next time if you come down when it's not low season you will find the bar open nightly with fantastic entertainment throughout the season. Always tricky to balance everything nearing the end of the season and being dependant on numbers but I know you understand.

From the manager: Again a lovely review form guests who have had a good time - particularly in the bar. It is fun and as we say 'It is what you make it' so obviously you were up for a good time here and you did enjoy yourselves. I will make sure everyone knows that you have noted the cleanliness of the facilities as they do work hard to keep everything nice and tidy for you. Lovely pictures too.

Good for the 1 or 2 night stay, car was essential for us.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Facilities where excellent, good farm shop. Nice field to walk the dogs.

Disliked Can't walk anywhere. Never tried the cafe so can't comment on that. We were on O2 and we had no signal if you wanted WiFi you had to pay extra. We prefer an afternoon drink but the bar did not open until 7.30pm.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It's a shame our location didn't suit you. I am on O2 and don't find a problem getting a signal but I know it can depend on individual phone models. I'll find out which pitch you were on and go up to test the signal strength to check it out though as it may be a weak spot. We don't open the bar during the day as it has never proved worth while. Most people are out and about so do not need that particular facility during the day.

Easy to find,good farm shop on…

Local attractions

This is Agatha Christie country, so if you’re looking to solve the mystery of what to do during your hols, you're sorted here too. Make your way into Torquay a 15-minute drive away for the Agatha Christie Mile – a walking tour of spots that inspired the author – and Kents Cavern, a prehistoric cave that served as Hampsley Cavern in her novel The Man in the Brown Suit. For a glimpse of Christie’s personal life, Greenway House at Brixham is where she spent summer and Christmas hols. If Greenway House whet your appetite for stately homes, zip along to Compton Castle (five minutes) for house and garden tours, or Cockington Country Park (10 minutes) for strolls around the extensive grounds and a glimpse of Cockington Court (now a craft centre). Not enough? Venture further afield for Coleton Fishacre, Buckfast Abbey and the 16-sided A la Ronde, all within 35 minutes. There are plenty of museums, steam trains and model villages nearby to keep history buffs entertained, but those who prefer more of a living and breathing experience should pad over to Paignton Zoo (within 15 minutes) instead.
