  • Award-winning 80-acre site two miles from the beach
  • Pools, pub, fish and chip shop, sauna, steam room and gym
  • Five private fishing lakes, woodland adventure zone and nature trails
Anyone who relishes a bit of variety on their holidays should give this award-winning site serious consideration: there are buckets and spades of activities for all ages, both on site and in the immediate vicinity. Tucked into a valley, only a mile away from swathes of Blue Flag beaches, and a 10-minute drive from Dawlish Warren, Cofton Holidays has 80 acres of meadows, orchards and woodland laced with nature trails for visitors to explore. The facilities here will keep the whole family happily entertained for weeks: Cofton's indoor pool has massage jets and hydrotherapy bubble loungers, as well as a sauna, steam room and gym (a small additional charge applies), and there's a splash area with water jets to entertain the kids. Or set off angling instead at one of the five private fishing lakes, to bag a monster carp (24-pounders aren't unknown here). More? Kids can bounce around in the three dedicated play areas or explore the adventure zone in the woods, with activities such as pond dipping and bug hunting laid on in season; if it’s raining, there’s also a games room with amusements and a pool table. After these exertions, retire to the poolside patio of the Swan Inn for a refresher and a snack: the pub opens every night and serves up a good range of grub (breakfast and lunch are also available at weekends), plus regular entertainment including live bands, discos and karaoke in high season. Cofton also has its own fish and chip joint, as well as a shop for any vittles you might need. Wifi across the whole site (charges apply) means staying connected is simple, and it’s also worth mentioning that Cofton has excellent facilities for disabled visitors.

Leah N.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked This was our first time coming here and safe to say we will be returning if your coming as a pair or as a family there is so much to do onsite - from swimming to outdoor walks to a nice chill drink
In the onsite pub!

The chip shop on site was amazing and there is also a shop onsite that is stocked with everything you may need if you forget or run out of something

Disliked WiFi isn’t the best depending where you are parked we did find that it did drop in and out and the reception isn’t that great around the area - you do have to pay for the WiFi that I probably wouldn’t pay for
Again for the amount it worked for the payment we had to pay

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Pitches were large enough for our tent although we did have to pitch it sideways to get a flat area but no real issue..
Complex was good, reasonable entertainment.

Disliked Toilet block could have been cleaned more often but maybe the people using them should tidy up after themselves!
Water pressure when we tried washing up was dreadful. Didn't appear to be many people showering etc. which could of explained why so not sure the reason as earlier in the day it had been okay.

Margaret S.

Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Spacious pitch, well placed for facilities., quiet but not so far from main building( restaurant/bar/ shop/ chip shop). Really impressed that prices were aligned to off site costs. Staff were welcoming, really helpful and courteous. So many amenities, no reason to leave site . I loved the fact there was a huge dog field and my dog was welcome. I’m definitely recommending this site to family and friends. As lone female traveler I felt totally safe . Hope to be back soon. Perfect place - great value’

Disliked Nothing

Local attractions

Wandering just outside the site, the nearby clifftops have pretty walks; there are gentle bike rides around and about; plus beaches and waterways offering more sail-, paddle- and wave-powered action than you can shake a stick at. Take a bus (the stop’s only 100 metres away) to explore a bit further afield: this corner of Devon's jampacked with things to see and do, including castles, botanic gardens, zoos, aquariums, animal farms, model villages and adventure parks. It's a 10-minute drive from the site to spectacular Dawlish Warren, home to a sandy beach and a tiptop nature reserve.
