Another Wonderful Visit!

Poole Farm
I think we've been here every year since we discovered this site in 2020, and it never fails to impress. The surroundings are beautiful, and the facilities are some of the best I've ever come across, but even those advantages are easily eclipsed by the warmth of the welcome (usually a tray of tea and biscuits as you contemplate setting up). Greg and Louise are the creme de la creme in hosting, and make you feel immediately at home. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and ordering a meal from Louise's tasty menu just adds to the enjoyment of your stay. No wonder people book from year to year! Looking forward to coming back next year, and the year after, and the year after.....

Amazing stay at Poole Farm

Poole Farm
This was our first visit to this lovely site. The facilities were amazing, Louise and Greg were so helpful and friendly, the site was well kept and managed. Louise even offers lovely meals and can even be delivered to your caravan if wanted. There was also cream tea on arrival in the welcome pack which also contained the menus. The toilet block and shower were immaculately kept there was also a dog wash area and a small shop containing essentials and plenty of jars of homemade jams/chutneys and marmalades, which we purchased . We will definately be going back to this lovely site again. Thank you Louise and Greg for a really lovely week. Julie and Stuart w/c 22/9/24

This was our second visit and it won’t be the last. The site is in a beautiful, peaceful location and is kept immaculate by Louise and Greg. We had a problem with our caravan whilst we were away and Greg was really helpful trying to fix it for us. Lou’s cooking and Sunday roast was amazing and the cream tea and cup of tea/coffee on arrival is a really nice touch that makes this site special. If you’re looking for a site that’s handy for Devon and Cornwall, you really can’t go wrong with Poole Farm. Thank you Louise and Greg for another fantastic stay.

Simply The Best

Poole Farm
Our third visit to this site which is just perfect. I can add nothing more to all the previous reviews other than to agree. Gregg and Louise really care about their guests and the attention to detail is second to none. Since our last visit a laundry/washing up area/ mini shop has been added. But the icing on the cake for me is the dog wash! As the owner of a cocker spaniel who thinks fox, sheep and cow poo are akin to Chanel or Christian Dior it is just a life saver! Not just a dog wash but a drier too, essential for a the show cut we like to keep for our beloved boy. All sites who truly welcome dogs should have one. Thank you so much Gregg and Louise, you deserve CL of the year every year in my opinion and Alfie’s, him not being fond of a cold hosepipe LOL!

We were greeted by a smashing young man , presenting us with 2 beautiful dog gifts ,even had their names on , plus all relevant information and a free pen bonus. The site was immaculate and well thought out , pitches were spacious . A lovely dog area with access to dog bin. The shop was a great idea and so was the laundry facilities . I can see why this site is award winning. A well situated site .Well done
