Liked: Very friendly place and quiet location. They took our booking notes on board and located us in a quiet corner so our nervous rescue would feel safe.
Disliked: Bathrooms could do with some upgrades - particularly the men's. There are roaming chickens on this site which were very cute however something to note if you have reactive dogs.

Liked: Good location close to Tavistock and central for travelling to coasts. Easy to find and tow to.
Disliked: Very uneven pitches, shower block not in a good state of repair, only one point on whole site to collect water from and quite a lot of road noise.

Liked: It was our first caravan adventure and we could not have stayed at a better place then the Old Rectory Sarah and Declan the owners were especially welcoming and could not do enough to make our stay a pleasurable one. I would recommend this park to anyone it was quiet with a farm feel about it. Free range chickens and George the pig made the experience for us. Thank you Sarah and Declan
