Cofton Holidays

Arriving at Cofton in our motor home, we checked in with ease at reception and we were shown to our pitch by a member of staff personally. We had a lovely level pitch with amenities close by. The pitches were not too close together and the touring site was very neat and tidy and well maintained.

Cofton is quite a large site with numerous pitches for touring and camping together with static caravans. There is an on-site shop which caters for all, together with a pub, cafe, arcade, soft play for the little ones and the added bonus of an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. There are also a couple of sauna rooms and an on-site gym. Guests of the park pay a reduced fee for using the indoor pool and gym.

We found the communal areas to be generally clean, tidy and well maintained. The changing rooms were reasonably clean, especially as there was quite a high turnover of guests and general public using them. Both pools are lifeguarded.

For those wanting a more sedate pace, Cofton offers fishing lakes. Unfortunately I cannot comment on these as we did not fish them but they were a keen number of fishermen/women in attendance! Dogs are not permitted onto the lakes. However, four legged friends are indeed made very welcome. There are dedicated dog walking areas and a field and Cofton have many doggy bins dotted around the site.

For the keen walkers, Cofton has a dedicated walk directly from site into Dawlish through a wooded glade. It does have a couple of inclines but nothing to get too out of breath over! Great views are offered and you might be lucky enough to spot a bit of wildlife too! The walk is about 25-30mins.

Overall, for us, this was a couple of nights away, not too far from home with good walks and clean amenities and suited our requirements.

Cofton offers all round family entertainment for those that seek it or a quiet, relaxing few days away for those that don’t!

Seagulls! Just be wary of eating outside. Cofton do what they can but of course cannot keep these pesky creatures away!

We did find that it took a while from ordering a cuppa in the cafe after a swim, for it to be delivered to our table and it was not very hot upon arrival!

Swimming pool, shop, entertainment was ok, friendly staff

A lot of the arcade machines weren’t working, and the WiFi facility was terrible

Everything

Tent was on a hill so struggled abit getting back from showers but views were amazing so can’t have everything

Everything was great as always, been to Cofton twice now and still as good as the first time, though the weather let us down it was still a great holiday

£6.00 a pint of Guinness not good, spoilt it for me personally as it kept me away from the complex of an evening I'm not tight but I hate being ripped off as my local is £3.29 but that's me

The book in was easy, the staff excellent, the pitch amazing. Really couldn’t fault the whole site. Spotlessly clean on the entire site. Toilet and shower block outstanding as were the gardens bin areas pools. The list goes on. The shop is not too overpriced.
The location is fantastic too. 10 mins to Dawlish then onto Teighnmouth and Torquay. Bus stop at end of road.

Just petty things that wouldn’t stop me returning
Not enough places to tie the dog when in loo or washing dishes or even at the shop.

We had pitch 36 near the lakes, under a great big oak tree which dropped acorns on to caravan and woke me a few times at night. It’s also houses birds that sh* t on the caravan, awning and car lol.

Didn’t use the WiFi

But I would return

Loved the place, friendly helpful staff, great entertainment, excellent swimming pools indoor and outdoor, nice reasonably priced food, very clean toilet/shower blocks. What we liked especially was the fact that we could jump on a bus not 10 mins from the site at very reasonable prices to get into Dawlish for example was only £3.60 return, also once in Dawlish you can catch a train up or down the coast (the scenic route, train prices were also very reasonable. There is a lot to explore in this area all in all a great break, thank you to everyone at Cofton, we will definitely be visiting you again.
