Scenic countryside setting

  • Family-run park on a former stud farm and in a wildlife haven
  • Two and a half miles from the coast
  • Heated outdoor pool, bar, café, shop, takeaway and craft centre
Dithering re which setting you prefer for holiday accommodation – walks in the countryside versus hoofing it to the nearest beach? Try a countryside break by the sea at friendly and family-run Whitehill Country Park. On a former stud farm with converted stables and stone farm buildings, Whitehill is in a wildlife haven deep in the Devon countryside but only two and a half miles from the sands of the English Riviera: guaranteed, of course, to keep all sorts of neigh-sayers happy. Nature fans will champ at the bit to delve into the 40 acres of hill, woodland and countryside around the park, where 130 species of flora and ferns can be recorded neatly in nature-spotting notebooks and where local wildlife abounds: look out for badgers, kestrels, pheasants and buzzards among others. Meanwhile, beach buoys and girls will find the nearest sands only a couple of miles away: it’s but a short drive to the beaches of Paignton, Torquay and Brixham, and onto the 20 or so first-class beaches along this 22-mile stretch. On site there's a heated outdoor pool, plenty of play areas, walking trails, and nature all around; the park has won awards for its approach to wildlife management and conservation. Also around are letterboxing opps, a treasure trail to keep the little treasures occupied, and all the cons of a mod site such as a takeaway, café, shop and supping alfresco while watching the sun go down from the terrace at the Hayloft bar. Those who feel artistic can draw and paint in the indoor Shire Craft Centre; table tennis and a pool table are also on hand for indoor play.

What customers say

A neat, well-kept spot with great facilities (pools!) and dog-friendly zones. Staff are super friendly. Pitches mostly spacious and quiet, though some are close/sloping. WiFi's a bit patchy. Handy for beaches and towns, with a good bus link.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely site well maintained, lots of excellent facilities.
The bus stop was a good find.
The footpaths were great.

Disliked More loos, we had quite a trek to them.
The restaurant was a bit disorganised e.g. a curry night but the very helpful team had to struggle to find out what was on offer.

 Mark T. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good amount of facilities, which were of a good quality and very clean. Spotless loo/shower blocks! (And two pools, too - although we weren't there long enough to use them). Useful little shop.

We saw pheasants, rabbits and heard owls hooting not too far away.

There's a good bar that serves functional food.

Disliked Late night noise/annoyance from other site users. (I think they'd had too much to drink and it was about 1am). Not the fault of the owner, but annoying nonetheless and kept us awake.

As a veggie, I'd like a few more food options as they were a bit limited.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful grounds with amazing trees. Loved the birdlife.
Nice cafe and bar. Showers and toilets were very bright and airy. It was quiet when we went at this time out of season.
Great that the bus stopped at the site with easy access to the seaside at Paignton. Also loved the walk down the the Mill Pond at Stoke Gabriel village.

Disliked Security lights were very bright affecting views of the night sky.

Local attractions

The sights and activities around this part of Devon will suit all tastes: Dartmoor for active adventures, Totnes and Dartmouth for history and heritage – and the 22 miles of the English Rivieria for beaches, watersports, fishing and boat trips. The closest beach to Whitehill Country Park is Goodrington, a mile south of Paignton. After you’ve stretched out on the red sands, there are a few other options to check out: learn about the history of the English Riviera at the free Seashore Centre, pedal your way around the boating lake, or take the kids to the waterslides and pools of Splashdown at Quaywest. The English Riviera is of course also Agatha Christie territory – Greenway House was her holiday home (also where David Suchet as Poirot filmed his last scenes. Sniff.) If you can’t make it to the annual Agatha Christie festival (tsk), amble along the 10 landmarks of the Agatha Christie Mile in Torquay; eight of the sites have clues spelling out the name of a Christie character. Hint: it’s probably not ‘Miss Marple’.
