Overall we enjoyed our stay but won't return
Powered grass site
Liked Location and cleanliness of sote
Disliked Not enough toilet & shower facilities when the campsite is busy. Expensive for the facilities on site
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're
pleased with your 8/10 for location
and 9/10 for both cleanliness and
customer service. Our licensed 80-
pitch site has facilities for its
permitted capacity, and every guest
receives an induction, site map and
emailed site information. We remain
one of the most competitively priced
sites locally. It would appear
unfortunate that you did not find
all of the facilities available to you
during your stay.

Powered grass site
Liked Lovely campsite with clean toilets and showers and great dog field. Loved also extra feature with planes taking off and landing. I would recommend to visit this campsite as owners are also very friendly people.
Disliked Washing up area had very weak water flow and electric hookup was only 8amp so kept flicking things off in caravan.

Clean, friendly, quiet.. airplanes and table tennis.. Brilliant!
Unpowered grass site
Liked Really loved this site - just stayed for a couple of days whilst we checked out the Sidmouth Folk Festival. Owners/reception very pleasant and helpful with a usefully stocked small shop. Lovely views, very well kept and not densely packed, despite this being the middle of the summer holidays. Pitches can be at a bit of an angle, so if you're in a camper don't forget your ramps. We'll be back!
