  • 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.

8 meter FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked Spacious pitch, modern clean facilities, choice of on site food providers. Enclosed dog exercise field. Abundant wildlife.

Disliked Nothing that Cofton provided.
The only negative thing was an ignorant family who were using electric scooters around the site, with very little regard to other holiday guests. Personal WiFi signal was very weak, however for a small fee you can purchase WiFi from the Park.

7.5 metre power optional gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Very nice site. Very efficient check in. Spotless facilities. So many things to do for families and adults alike but also quieter areas to relax. Terraced pitches give a great view over the site. Electricity for us worked great - only £2.70 for 2 nights! It's done with an app on a pay as you go basis.

Disliked Nothing.

9 metre FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (super, premium)

Liked Good facilities on site with plenty to do. Not a long walk into Dawlish warren. Pitch was very spacious. Clean site

Disliked Even though I liked the size of the pitch. Considering it was a premium pitch the position of it on the site was bad . Too close to the main road ( noise levels) and also when it was sunny had no sun at all. Pitch shaded with tree cover. Only one chemical disposal area.

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.
