Excellent CL!

A super CL set in awesome countryside. The WC / Showers were immaculate, with piping hot water. A small dish wash area is also available. WiFi was great - an added bonus for our teenage son! A 7 night stay flew by. The last 3/4 mile tow to the site is a little hairy. Contrary to other reviews, we did meet other vehicles whilst towing. It is a very narrow, bendy single track Devon lane. My advice is just pray! Most pitches are hardstands - ours could have done with some weed clearance / treatment. There were 6 vans on for a few nights, though one may have been seasonal, it was not separated. Separate tap for each pitch, but you need a good long hose it you want to permanently connect. A38 road noise is barely evident. Beware of the farm dog....she is lovely and friendly, but will have your bin raided if left out! Access to local area is very easy - suggest go back to the A38 and drop to South Brent junction to get to the Totnes road, rather than do the country lane shortcut. The butcher in Dartmouth was a trip highlight - amazing sausages!!!! (Spanish Chilli!) Pub in Rattery is a 25 min walk - very nice. We didn't eat there, but did enjoy a couple of drinks in the garden. For £15.00 per night - a must!

Excellent site with outstanding facilities and location.

Booked as a last minute replacement for a CL we didn't notice had no loos or showers, this was a real gem of a discovery. The views and spacious pitches are fantastic and it is incredibly peaceful. Yes you can hear the A38, but no more than a faint hum in the distance if the wind is in the right direction, not something I consider detracts from the positives of this CL. The professionally made self contained toilets and shower are exceptional and very modern with plenty of space, better in some ways than large site blocks as they are private and clean. Although we are quite local to this site it made a superb and peaceful break. Plenty of shops nearby at Buckfastleigh and Totnes and loads of excellent pubs nearby if you decide to eat out. Highly recommended.

A little gem

We have just returned from this little gem of a sit having spent 12 wonderful days here. The owners Mr and Mrs Smerdon are so friendly and accomodating even down to asking whether we would be disturbed if the grass were to be cut on a Sunday afternoon. The 3 toilets and 2 showers were kept very clean even though one of the showers is a bit antequated. The access to the site for the last 1/2 mile is a typical narrow Devon lane with passing places but is not that well used in fact in all the journey's we made to and from the site over 12 days we never encountered another vehicle. The views over towards Dartmoor are splendid. We will definitely use this site again.

Shame about the A38

Very welcoming owners who put themselves out to accommodate us when we decided at the last minute to stay an extra night. Level hard standing with grass (cut and collected) to the side. Excellent, spotless loos with plenty of spare loo roll, cleaning materials, hot water, hand soap and wonderfully, paper hand towels! The shower may feel a little rustic but it was clean, wonderfully HOT and free flowing. Plenty of hooks for hanging up clothing, towels etc and 2 mirrors! Site on top of a hill looking across the valley. Wonderful views so pretty. Local lanes very narrow so take it easy but some big caravans there so obviously possible. Excellent centre for touring. So many places of interest within a few miles. Sadly the A38 lies in the valley so there is road noise. If this doesn't bother you then I can highly recommend this CL.

CL at its best!

The best CL, we have had the pleasure in staying at!! Lovely spacious pitches, with superb views, and birdsong from dawn to dusk. Very distant road noise, and yet a stones throw from the main A38. If you take the turning too early, its up hill and down dale...if you don't it's literally 4 mins off the main road. The lane has a few passing places, and you would be unlucky to meet another outfit. This is a gem of a site, and may regret telling all....but feel one has to share! Two large toilet cubicles should you need-but great to have water and electric on each pitch. The site is beautifully clean and the owners on hand if needed-but not in your face. We WILL be back, as it is close enough to us, to make our second home! Real pleasure!
