Lovely camp, lots to do and brilliant facilities.
9 metre electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Grounds staff very helpful and show you to your pitch which was a nice touch. The camp kept lovely and tidy, outdoor pool area lovely, toilets beautiful and clean, shop well stocked and not badly priced. Would love to revisit and check out more of the amenities!
Disliked The chip shop was hugely over priced and the electricity system they have in place is confusing. Asked my husband for his email address to set up an account to load money on, they had already set it up in my email address but we didn’t know. Took us nearly 2 hours to get electricity working. WiFi £12 for 24 hours isn’t the cheapest but does work well.

Would return, a lovely site
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great site, clean and tidy. Flowers looked great. Facilities was excellent, swimming pools, restaurants, well stocked shop. Toilets and showers were clean everyday. Staff friendly and helpful. We had our evening meals in the upstairs restaurant, the staff was very polite, helpful and went above and beyond. Would return again
Disliked Food took a little to long to come out, second night took longer and our steak was rare when asked for medium to well. Staff was so apologetic and helpful though, not there fault, this was down to the kitchen staff. Other visitors had similar problem with waiting times, wrong food or not cooked.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely place to visit for a few days away. We are local to Dawlish but wanted somewhere close to home but somewhere that still felt like we were on holiday and Cofton did just that and ticked all the right boxes. We arrived and from the get go we had a great experience. From being greeted by one of the groundsman hosts where he took us to the field where we were to pitch up, gave us the option ourselves to pitch up where we wanted to and as we were with other family members it was great as we could pitch together. The views fantastic, the toilets were a bit far away for where we were pitched due to the field being already quite full when we arrived on Friday but other than that it was a great pitch and washing facilities within a 3/4 minute walk. We used the washing machine and tumble dryer facilities available too which were reasonably priced and all washing detergent included which is always a bonus. The washing facilities were always clean and kept on top of, even the cleaners were polite when greeted. The only downfall of the showers is that the water timer of 3 seconds was a pain when washing, unless you hold the button then youre washing 1 handed.
The rest of our time at Cofton was great, entertainment of an evening hit the spot with us and other guests who were enjoying it around us, we thoroughly enjoyed the magic show put on. Drinks were pricey but I guess thats the price you pay for being on holiday.
The outdoor pool was a welcomed extra for us especially with the recent weather, it was enjoyed by us to keep us nice and cool although the Saturday was crammed we found a spot to sit and enjoy the weather, sunday less people more space and more time to enjoy the pool facilities.. and very attentive life guards who were on the side watching over the safety of everyone.
The shop, full of anything and everything you could think of! Kept us topped up with ice and refreshments as and when we needed.
Overall we all thoroughly enjoyed our time here and already planning on our next visit.
Disliked Chipshop, only gripe was the batter on the fish and sausage it didn't give a batter taste or look.

From the manager: Thank you Kieran for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had a great experience at Cofton, especially since you’re local to the area! It’s fantastic that the site ticked all the right boxes for your mini holiday.
We’re glad you were able to pitch up together with your family and that the views, washing facilities and overall cleanliness met your expectations. We’ll definitely take your feedback about the shower timers into consideration for future improvements, as we always want to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
It’s also great to know that you enjoyed the evening entertainment and magic show! The outdoor pool sounds like it was a hit, especially with the weather and we’re so glad our lifeguards were attentive to everyone’s safety.
Thank you for mentioning the shop and your experience with the chip shop. We’re sorry to hear the batter didn’t meet your expectations and we’ll pass this feedback on to the team to look into.
We’re so glad you’re already planning your next visit! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great stay.
