The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm

A aimé Lovely small campsite with electric hookup included. Clean roomy individual showers with basin and toilet. Washing up area with free-to-use electric kettle and microwave. Washing machine (suggested £2 donation). Pitches are adequately sized for a campervan, ours (Katey) had a picnic table and was close to the shower block. All pitches are amongst the apple trees. There is a very handy small "honesty box" shop supplying essentials. The owner was very welcoming and helpful but we were left to our own devices with very few site rules.
You can walk from the site to the South West Coast Path but it starts with a steep climb up the road outside the site to reach the trail. There is a number 11 bus service at the top of this road which runs between Shaldon (Teignmouth) and Torquay.

N'a pas aimé Although the shower rooms were perfectly functional with plenty of hot water, it would have been nice to have tiled walls (or even paint) rather than bare plywood. The floor mats were tired and unnecessary.

A aimé Loved the site it was clean and very quiet. The facilities provided were excellent there was even a warm radiator in the shower room, we went back for a second night.
Owner is very welcoming.

N'a pas aimé Hard to find sat nav sent us up lots of lanes but once we knew to come in from either Torquay or Teinmouth it was by easy

A aimé Campsite is in a lovely peaceful orchard. The toilets/showers/kitchen area are all kept very clean (even with the rain and mud!). A short walk to the SW Coast path and 2 pubs within easy walking distance for dinner.

A aimé Nous avons adoré l'ambiance verger pour notre nuit en van! Nous étions entouré de pommiers avec des pommes de toutes les couleurs c'était très immersif et très calme! Les salles de bain sont énormes et le coin "cuisine" bien agencé! Il y a aussi un petit shop dont quelques produits de leur production! Nous sommes reparti avec du miel et du jus de pommes! Merci beaucoup, nous y reviendrons!

A aimé The amenities, shop, apple juice,Ted the dog, Jerry, fellow campers.

N'a pas aimé Our first time camping here and was unaware its preferable to have a tent that opens at the front as the pitches are quite narrow. And I kept tripping on my guy ropes

A aimé The area, hills view, very close to beach, coastal path.
Quite, clean toilet, kettle and washing up facilities .
very good pub closed by, able to go walking

N'a pas aimé The floor to pitch the tent is ground hard and very dirty,prefer grass.
The space for the tent is small, our door was lateral and we have a step up every time coming out of the tent , very difficult to move around
Carpet in the toilet is really unhygienic

A aimé We love this little campsite and have returned many times.
It’s close to the coast footpath. We walk to Torquay with the dog and bus back.
2 pubs close by.
The little cafe above the beach at nearby Maidencombe is a must.

A aimé I liked the amenities and the peaceful surroundings.

N'a pas aimé The pitch we had was dry and hard to secure the tent. Although we managed to do it in the end.

A aimé Unique pitches surrounded by apple tree orchard. Very pretty and quiet. Cost is a bargain including electric hookup. Use of microwave, kettle and toaster is excellent.

N'a pas aimé Thought someone had left their towel in the toilet/shower room but they are dark grey hand towels for customers to use. I’m sure they are washed and clean put out regularly but I don’t think sharing towels is hygienic. I would prefer no hand drying facilities rather than a used towel.
Pitches are very close together.
