Lovely location

Disliked Shop could be bigger and maybe a bar could of been open

Liked Site was lovely and clean, good location, good size pitches, lots of facilities, bathrooms and showers were lovely and new. Also had a launderette and even a dishwasher!! Some lovely looking walks but due to the heat we didn't go far.

It's maybe a 20 mins drive to westward Ho! which was lovely and about 15mins from there to Clovelly village which is stunning

It really was a lovely place and the staff I spoke with seemed very friendly. which is why I'm gutted to have to put some "dislikes" but think it's fair to let other people booking know some of the details.

Disliked So the showers were great, but crazy powerful and you couldn't change the angle so first time I used I got all my dry clothes wet

The pool is lovely but for some reason closes at 4.30. we went on the hottest day of the year and would have been so nice if it stayed open until maybe 6pm. Particularly as it isn't staffed and the owners/managers live on site.

Also it's advertised on pitch up as having a bar and verandah however when we arrived and got a leaflet with site details it just said "bar closed" this wouldn't have been an issue however it's clearly mentioned on the advert and I noticed a review from over a year ago saying the same so they have had over a year to correct their advert.

This is quite disappointing, particularly as the site is in a great, but a little remote, location. If you advertise something you should provide it, a pet peeve of mine is false advertising, I really liked this site and would return even with this, but I just can't give it full marks because of it and I can't give 10/10 on value for money, even tho the price was good as I was paying for something that I couldn't get.

Liked Very clean and warm showers, very well maintained site with a range of different pitches to suite all travelers. Easy access to the Tarka trail and and a great meadow for dog walking. Did not try the pool !!

Liked Very clean and well maintained fully serviced caravan pitch. Aerial TV reception was good plus an option to link to the post. Toilets were immaculate. Very peaceful site and walks available. The site is located far from any pub or restaurant and transport is necessary or bus at the end of the driveway.

Disliked Mobile signal from either EE or Three was practically non existent and we couldn't watch for instance i-player even through we have our own wi-fi with good aerial. Wi-fi from the site wouldn't even start to connect (we were sited on new upper level pitches).

Liked Huge pitch!
Friendly staff. Warm pool. Very impressive bathroom facilities.
