Liked Lovely owner and service great. Quiet site and clean and tidy. Great views of countryside.
Disliked Toilet and shower block could do with an upgrade and would have liked somewhere to plug in hair dryer and straighteners.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Home from a really wonderful weekend stay and already looking at the next visit! Stayed in our VW on an electrical hardstanding pitch which the pitch size was very big with grass surroundings so perfect for the dogs. Such a warm welcome on arrival and tour, owners are truly wonderful! The views really are stunning right across Dartmoor.
Highlight for our daughter was not just the new play park equipment but being taken to feed the piglets and George the pig and the free roaming chickens.
Really dog friendly across the whole site including an enclosed dog exercise area.
Electricity is metered which is fabulous and fair (41p for 2 days was just incredible!) with a wonderful offset program and tree planting.
Toilet, shower and dish washing block very clean. Ample recycling and water facilities.
We can’t wait to visit again!

Lovely overnight stay.
Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars)
Liked Great welcome and shown around. Everything explained clearly. Upgraded to an electric pitch so that our electric bike could be charged on our pitch, even provided the cable too! Cost 15p!
Disliked Showers nor very hot!

Fantastic site we will be back
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Everything was just perfect, the pitch was huge hard standing with grass for awning or sun canopy. The view was spectacular, recycling point was brilliantly labelled and good to see people using it. The toilets and showers were clean, tidy and plenty good enough and are electric for two days was 83p

Cosy site with a family feel. Clean facilities. Outstanding owners.
Power optional grass campsite
Liked We loved how cute and cosy the vibe was. The tent pitches were generous and boxed in so it felt like a hug from nature. The owners were wonderfully polite, friendly and accommodating. Everyone made us feel welcome. The toilet and shower block was clean and the sinks area was perfect for washing up. The owners took our kiddies to feed the pigs and there is a small field with play frame. There is a shop onsite which sells essentials and a bell to ring if no one is there. It was the best stay for our little family. No swimming pools, arcades or gimmicks - just a lovely welcoming space where you feel safe and free.

Good site.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Loved the views of the Tamar valley, absolutely stunning.
We were given a wonderful welcome from Declan, who told us all about the site and the local history/legends.
It's such a beautiful, peaceful site, loved the wildflowers & birds in the hedgerows. We even saw a stoat run across the campsite.
All the pitches are separated by neat hedges but open at the front, which gives privacy, we really liked this set up.
Hens came to visit our caravan most mornings, there were 4 x 10 week old piglets & a boar on the farm & ducks.
Site is beautifully maintained, great washing up facilities, showers & toilets. Little shop/reception selling essentials.
Electric is charged by usage and was surprisingly cheap.
We stayed 5 nights and absolutely loved it, will definitely be back.

Would definitely come and stay again even though we live 30 mins away
Power optional grass campsite
Liked The owners were amazingly kind friendly and helpful
We liked the visit to feed the pigs and the info we learned about them, kids throughly enjoyed the gator ride from the owner who had so much time for everyone
The site is quiet and very clean and brilliant to see so much thought has gone into making it eco friendly
Shower and toilet facilities good and the shop is open on demand and manned within a few minutes of pressing the bell
Electric is metered so only pay for what you use and is a good rate per unit
Chickens and ducks are free roaming which was lovely and relaxing to watch them stroll by occasionally
Plus you can buy the eggs so are super fresh and good quality
Close to local town of Tavistock where there was loads to see and do
