Powered grass and sand caravan site
Liked: Permitted to have a camp fire.
Disliked: Quite expensive and not easy to find along a VERY narrow road. Late check in (3 pm), and the owner wanted an additional £18 for us to arrive 2 hours earlier. Very small and cramped electric pitches and far too close to other guests tents. We couldn't have our car or trailer on our pitch and couldn't even set up our tent porch. Toilets & showers are clean but rudimentary and quite far from pitches. The owners dogs are running free around the site and one of them left an unpleasant deposit at the side of our tent. Very muddy on walk to showers & toilets.

From the manager: I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay. We are in the countryside in North Devon which does tend to have some smaller roads, if you are not familiar with the area. Our website and our 3rd Party booking sites advertise an early check in fee of £6 per person for those who want to check in early and use the facilities as we incur a cost in providing these services prior to check-in time. All electric pitches are advertised as (a minimum of) 7.5m x 7.5m. The majority are 8.5m x 8.0m which is the size of Pitch 6 which you occupied. During the weekend of your stay all other campers parked their vehicles on the pitch. You were offered to do the same with the alternative option to park it on the hard-standing behind your tent, which you chose. You raised the issue of the dog deposit at the time and you received an apology from us and it was cleared immediately. The route from the electric pitches to the loos & showers is 90% concrete or hardcore I'm not sure how you managed to get muddy.

Liked: The views were so beautiful. We were lucky that we were the only ones when we arrived and so had a choice of pitches. Perfect for a chilled few days away. Facilities clean, lots of space for young children to play in that felt extremely safe for them to do so, friendly owner

Liked: The scenery was beautiful, it was quiet and the facilities were clean.
Disliked: Nothing. The campsite is up a steep hill. Its a 15 min walk down to the lovely village pub and uphill back which may not be for everybody but thats what gives the campsite its tranquil setting and views which we really enjoyed.
