Fully-serviced gravel caravan site
Liked: Lovely quiet site. Very helpful friendly staff. We stayed on a fully serviced pitch that was level and good size. The facilities were warm (under floor heating) and clean. The showers were the best design I’ve seen on a campsite! Beautiful walks from the site.
Disliked: Unfortunately, it was obvious in the women’s facilities that it was the end of the busy season (September) Several of the shower cubicles had broken locks and due to a problem with the drains they had an appalling smell. I reported this to reception and was told that the locks would be seen to and the drainage problem would be addressed over the winter. Hopefully it will be sorted before we no doubt return next year!

Liked: site is very clean and staff helpfull, pitches are level shower and toilets are a bit of a walk if your up near the entrance (which we were) also club bar/restaurant is small and for the size of the site with well over 100 statics i would not like to be here in the height of the season, nice walk to the local village woodbury, we would return but out of season dates
Disliked: small bar/restaurant area but then it does have one

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site
Liked: We had a good week here. The site was nice, quiet and clean sitea mixture of touring and statics. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food and drinks lovely in the site bar we enjoyed the quiz night even though we came last! Very well placed for getting out and visiting places around south Devon.
Disliked: Our only gripe was with the toilet/shower block which wasn't that clean and had the most awful smell of dirty drains/ sewage which was most unpleasant. I did report this to reception but they didn't seem too interested and there didn't appear to be any improvement. Hence we mostly used our own facilities and the toilet by the bar which was clean. We discovered a large skip full of rubbish behind the toilet block which might account for some of the smell. In our opinion this was the only thing that let the site down.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Underfloor heating in showers Lovely helpful staff Great games field Brilliant location Quiet site Can use facilities at sister site, Ladram Bay Great children’s play area Well stocked shop Pub on site
Disliked: Strong sewage smell everywhere Dirty toilets and showers and washing up area. Everywhere needed a good sweep up Camping field too small, tents too close together Games room was a joke - pool table with no white ball and cues with no tips, one kiddy ride, 3 out of 5 grabber machines out of order and it was filthy Coffee machine out of order
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at Castle Brake. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the underfloor heating in the showers, found our team helpful, and appreciated the peaceful location and family-friendly facilities. It’s great to know that your children enjoyed the games field and play area, and we’re glad the well-stocked shop and on-site pub added to your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the concerns you raised, particularly regarding the sewage smell and the cleanliness of the facilities. This is certainly not the standard we strive for, and we will address these issues with our team to ensure improvements are made. Your comments about the games room, camping field size, and out-of-order coffee machine have also been noted, and we’ll be working hard to rectify these matters. We hope you choose to come back and visit us again soon. Kind Regards The Castle Brake Team
