Beautiful, clean site with excellent facilities
Powered grass tent campsite (large)
Liked Site is lovely - quiet, within 10 mins easy walk to Hele Bay, nice sized pitches, excellent shower/toilet facilities.
Staff are helpful, play park is great and there is a lovely shaded nature walk. We saw so many butterflies around the park and could hear owls at night.
Disliked Only problem was closing the showers, toilets and washing up area 11.30am-1pm to clean them.
This was tricky as we were in tents and had no other access to toilet/sinks.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. It is so lovely to read that you enjoyed your stay with us. Many of our guests comment on the sounds of nature all around and the peace and tranquility of our park. We do have a family room that we leave open whilst the main shower block is being cleaned, which enables our guests to have access to toilet facilities. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

Powered grass tent campsite (large)
Liked The showers/toilets were lovely and clean. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Nice play area, although it was long and thin and you aren't allowed ball games.
The pitches included water and electric.
Freezer to use.
Disliked No camp fires allowed
The toilets were a bit of a walk away so when you needed a wee in the night it's a little trek 😬
Shaded so you lost the sun early.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, it is lovely to read that you all enjoyed your stay with us. We do have tent pitches closer to the shower block, so when you stay next time just pop a note on your booking and we will hopefully be able to place you on a more suitable pitch for your requirements.

Conker microlodge (hot tub)
Liked The studio pod was modern, clean and had everything we needed.
The staff were very happy, helpful and friendly.
The campsite was peaceful, relaxing and extremely quiet..Perfect to wind down from busy working life.
Disliked There was nothing we disliked, but would suggest extending the higher fence surrounding the decking and hot tub as people walking past were all looking in.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Such a lovely review, we appreciate you taking the time to write it. It is always our aim to listen to suggestions & feedback from our guests, so we thank you for your comment regarding the fence. We do hope to welcome you back in the future.
Lovely site within walking distance of Ilfracombe.
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (large)
Liked Well maintained and clean site with generous sized pitches. Toilet/shower block clean and modern. Quiet location alongside wooded copse.
WiFi reception was excellent, albeit a little slow, however it's free so can't complain.
Disliked Only one thing, could you please put a small shelf in the shower cubicles so I have somewhere to place my soap, shampoo etc!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Such an informative review, thank you. It is our aim to listen to our guests feedback, as a result we are currently in the process of trying to source some suitable options for shampoo and soap holders. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Very nice site and well positioned
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (large)
Liked The site is well laid out, and the served pitches were a bonus. Very clean shower block, and very welcoming staff. Close to Ilfracombe and Hele bay. Bus stops very close. Great wifi reception
Disliked A little more privacy between some plots would be helpful, and the motorhome service point a little small to back into.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write your review. It is good to read that you liked the lay out of our site and our location. In addition to the grey waste service point on your pitch, we do have a central one, opposite the shower block which offers another option for you. We are currently in the process of growing shrubs between the pitches. Hopefully, the next time you visit these will be a little more established.
