Liked Loved the yabin, everything we expected - lovely to unplug for a week and although in a field of three Yabins, they're far enough apart to feel quite private if you want that too. Enjoyed day tripping around local beaches (sometimes in the late afternoon til evening as it was cooler - we had 28 degrees one day), fossil hunting at Lyme and Beer is a really pretty pebble beach. The site is a great place to make memories - our 5 year old learnt how to ride his bike properly in the yurt field. Had a great evening with glo sticks and a glow hunt we set up around the site for our 2 year old and 5 year old, when there was a break in bookings so we had the site to ourselves, which they loved before bedtime. Great place for some star watching too and the ghost stories around the campfire went down well too! Yabin did heat up in the day time in the high temps but easily remedied by opening the door and the door of the stove for the hot air to leave the Yabin quite quickly - certainly not too hot for our 2 yo to have an after lunch nap in, even in 27 degrees heat. Amenities had everything that you could've wanted - we did bring our own caftiere because with two small people we can't survive without coffee! But everything else we needed was already available and it was really lovely that we had our own cabin with toilet, shower, washing up facilities and cutlery etc. We also did bring extra camping lights because we'd read it was very dark and having someone who is not friends with the dark in our party, we wanted to make sure that we had enough lights to act as a nightlight through the evening. It worked really well and the fresh air tired them out anyway! It was lovely to hear the cows in the working dairy farm opposite, the farmer was lovely and made us feel welcome when we saw him come over to the site to collect something too. Natalie the site owner was really accommodating and communication was brill - where we were expected to park and anything else we needed to know. The shower was a bit hot in the heatwave but Natalie did turn it down for us (it was easy dealt with in the meantime by the children having jug showers rather than with the actual shower! Which they thought was an adventure!) we'd definitely recommend to friends and would love to return one day, perhaps in the autumn when it's optimum fossil hunting conditions and can imagine the Yabin is really snuggly with the stove lit!

Disliked Not a dislike but a word of warning for non confident drivers- If you come off the M5 via Cullumpton the roads are a bit gnarly - very very beautiful but single track in some areas. But, this is much like a lot of Devon to be fair! We decided to avoid this on our day trips though and mostly went Via Honiton town centre - sticking to the A roads which was absolutely fine. Absolutely not a reflection on the site or the facilities - but just to let anyone else know that via Honiton is probably the easiest route if you're not used to rural roads (if you were taught that you weren't driving rural roads properly if your wing mirror wasn't in the hedgerow, you'll be fine!) Also, phone signal can be sketchy but once you're out on the main road towards Honiton, it's good again.
