Visited this site for our Easter break and stayed for 7 nights. Site is easy to locate and directions are good from the M5. Only last section is narrow roads but nothing too horrendous. When you first pull into the site you see what looks like a derelict property which later we discovered was the owners house. The only pitch left was the first on the left tucked behind some large leylandii trees which looked straight out onto the owners property. Not the best of views.  Pitches were all gravel which was good, each with its own electric hook up and an aerial link so don't forget your 25m coaxial cable as you'll need this length to reach the socket. The best pitches were definitely the ones at the top end of the site as these had the morning sunshine whereas where we were pitched was shaded by the trees until the afternoon. It probably depends on what you expect from a CL as to whether you like or loathe this site. On the plus side the pitches are hardstanding, the village is lovely and the pub excellent, it's very quiet and provides a good base for the local area. Some people we met on site had been coming for years and loved it. Having any toilet and shower facilities on a CL is always a bonus but those provided here were just about adequate. Having a toilet cuts down on the caravan loo emptying trips but I'm not sure how many people would really attempt to use the showers which required tokens as the type of person who uses a CL would probably much prefer to use their own on board facilities. The whole site looks like it could do with a good tidy up but there is obviously something about it which draws people back from the comments other users passed on to me. Whilst in the area we looked at other sites, of which there are several in the area. Some of these offered much better facilities and views for only a little extra cost but they are much bigger sites so it does depend on what you want. We did enjoy our week and there is plenty to do in the local area. Lovely coastal walks and seaside towns + Bicton Gardens is well worth a visit. Not sure we would return to Pidgeons but would certainly return to the area.
