Browns Farm Caravan Park

Mi è piaciuto Small site, nice 10 minute walk to the local pub. Fantastic slip and slide play area and farm shop only 10 minutes drive

Non mi è piaciuto No internet service and the WiFi is so poor you can’t work, watch anything or look up anything as it keeps dropping out
The horrible smell of the cow’s. I have lived near farms, but this is impossible to have a window open or enjoy a meal outside
The road is the other side of the hedge so you get woken up at about 3am from the noise
One ladies toilet and one disabled toilet, 2 men’s cubicles, no urinal. Needs an upgrade
Very pricey for what it is

Dal gestore: Thank you for your review. Whilst we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit we feel it is important to address your points. Our wifi is basic but we make no additional charge for this and are always willing to address issues when asked whilst guests are on site. We cannot apologise for a working farm having the aroma of one. We have one row of pitches separated from an unclassified road by a well established hedge . Your description of our facilities is inaccurate there are 5 toilets and 4 showers on site all well maintained and kept clean. No upgrade to make the facilities more aesthetically pleasing is planned at this stage .
Our prices are in line with other similar sites in this area.

Mi è piaciuto Friendly staff - small and quiet

Dal gestore: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have basic wifi on site and advise all arrivals where to find the code. Should guests have problems whilst on site we are always happy to assist if contacted there is little we can do after guests have left. Masts give a strong signal to the area and we receive DAB radio in our home which is close to the site.

Mi è piaciuto Lovely quiet site. Good facilities always clean. On bus route Exmouth / Exeter.
Greendales farm shop is worth a visit.

Mi è piaciuto Clean, quiet, good local pub

Non mi è piaciuto Dog walk from site would be nice

La consiglierò agli amici Tornerò volentieri

Dal gestore: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. As a working farm we are unable to provide a dog walking area. Grass and other crops grown on our land are all for the production of livestock feed and as such we cannot risk contamination via dog waste which can be fatal to bovines. We are always happy to advise on popular dog walking routes.

Mi è piaciuto The site itself was in a good location, and we did enjoy the village walk and access to the No 58 bus.

Non mi è piaciuto We arrived at the site on 1st July, as booked, to find that our designated pitch was effectively all hard standing. We had booked via Pitchup and thought that it had been made clear that our 'small camper van plus awning' required a grass pitch for the awning. As a consequence erecting the awning took at least an extra hour, on a hot day, hammering in rock pegs. There were evidently no single other pitches available for the duration of our 4 day stay.
We have frequently stayed on farm sites and thought we knew what to expect. The smell from the adjacent farmyard in the heat was unbearable during our stay, and we were plagued by flies, which we felt was no coincidence.
Given the £31 per night fee, we felt that the 4 WC's and 4 showers provided may not be sufficient when the site was full. The facilities themselves were adequate but starting to show their age. The hard standing areas themselves were not well maintained, giving the whole site a slightly run-down feel.
The result amounted to us not having the relaxing break we had planned and we ended up leaving a day early.

Dal gestore: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. We allocate pitches as booked, a guest booking a hard standing pitch with a small grass area will receive that. It is important to book appropriately for your needs. We cannot apologise for what is advertised as a working farm having the aroma of one. Flies are a nuisance during hot spells and not necessarily connected to farm activity.
We have sufficient facilities for our site size. Whilst not aesthetically pleasing updating would involve considerable expense which would inevitably involve a price increase and the function offered would be the same so not something we are planning at this time. The facilities are kept clean and well maintained. The hardstanding areas do receive attention when unoccupied.

Mi è piaciuto Excellent pitches, quiet site, working farm

Mi è piaciuto Good sized pitch with own water tap and close electric point. Cut grass and clean hard standing gravel.
Really good showers with masses of hot water.
Warm welcome.
Toilets with loo paper!

Non mi è piaciuto Nothing really.
The shower and toilet floors were cleaned but could do with a deep clean scrub to get the ridged floor tiles to look better. Corners in the toilets and shower rooms had the same build up of dusty dirt each day we were there so clearly needed a thorough clean.

Dal gestore: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you plan to visit again. Our facilities are cleaned well daily . It is not possible to do a "spring clean" daily of the areas you have highlighted as this takes considerable time and guests are constantly requesting access. We do however undertake these tasks during quieter periods.
