Fantastic site

We booked this site for a 5 day break over Easter 2024 (had to delay one day due to high winds) Greg the owner called us on route to say all vans that were leaving had left so we had clear route down the narrow entrance road (about 1/2 mile) on arrival at site we were greeted by Greg who welcomed to site and explained the pitch location etc. He also offered free tea and biscuits once we had set up. The site itself is beautifully kept with a lovely heated shower room and toilet along with an information room which has a stock of essential items if you have forgotten anything. It also has a stock on lovely home made chutneys and frozen meals. Not long after we set up Greg and Lou came round with some free home made hot cross buns, Easter eggs and a vase of Daffodils which was really lovely. They also supplied a free cream tea the following day which again was freshly cooked. They also do Sunday roast for £11.50 which we had IT WAS AMAZING and followed by a pudding we could hardly move the rest of the day Ha Ha. This is not the cheapest CL however it is the BEST ONE we have ever stayed on in 20YRS of caravanning all the made more special by Greg and Lou, we will definitely be returning Bryn and Pam Matthews

Perfect Site

This was our first trip to Poole Farm and it won't be our last. We had a really relaxing long weekend. It is so conveniently located for visits to numerous English Heritage and National Trust properties and stunning coastline all nearby. We were spoilt for choice. One night we had an amazing display of the night sky as there is hardly any light pollution. Greg and Lou have thought of everything. They are amazing hosts, we were given a delicious warm homemade complementary cream tea delivered to our caravan. We were also offered a cooked Sunday roast, pizza, cook breakfast and a lovely choice of home cooked meals. There is also a great selection of frozen home cooked meals available too. The facilities are so clean, warm and tidy. It's the extra touches that go a long way including complementary toiletries and a radio in the shower room. Washing machine and tumble dryer, iron and ironing board, selection of homemade preserves, book swap in the information and washing up room. There are also plenty of circular walks from the site. All pitches are level, nicely spaced out and fully serviced including Wifi. Greg and Lou work so hard. This really is a gem of a site, we will definitely be back. Thank you Greg and Lou

Amazing

Wow just wow....from the friendly welcome,to ensuring your all ok to the fantastic home cooked food available (at a good price) you cannot miss the opportunity to stay here! A year into our motorhome journey we were so impressed with our visits to this site last year that we had to book again this year (several times). Fantastic place to chill and unwind but you may need a car to explore what's on offer in and around the surrounding area. Lou and Greg are fantastic host and deserve all the accolade they get. Until our next visit ...which there will be👍 Paul and Carol X

Idyllic

We have been very fortunate to stay on some beautiful CLs , however Poole Farm is exceptional. The location is idyllic, set in the peaceful Devon countryside alongside a tributary of the River Tamar. The pitches are generous and fully serviced & the amenities are excellent. It is the finishing touches that set this site apart. For example, the shower hut was delightfully warm even on a freezing cold January day & having a little radio available is such a homely touch. There is a fabulous dog wash complete with shampoos. Both our Spaniels received welcome treats & a complimentary cream tea was on offer for us humans too. Lou & Greg’s homely touches throughout the site are evident, from bird feeders on every pitch to jams & chutneys available to purchase. There is also an extensive list of meals available to order from Lou if you don’t fancy cooking too. There is very little light pollution and if there is a clear night, the stars are just amazing. Don’t hesitate to book a pitch on this fantastic CL, you certainly won’t regret it.

A very Happy Christmas stay.

A first for us Christmas away in the caravan.What a lovely few days we had.They weather was not it's best and Greg kindly helped us when we had a problem with one side of our awning.We had decided to have the Christmas dinner which is offered as an extra,that along with welcome hamper were superb.All home made by Lou herself. We have stayed a few times before and can honestly say Poole farm is one of the best places for a lovely relaxed break.As always the facilities are too notch. We were very lucky to book for Christmas 2024,but hopefully will manage a stay before then.😊

A stunning CL!!

Our first visit to Poole Farm for just a couple of nights (21st-23rd November 23) simply wasn't sufficient. The welcome from Louise and Greg was lovely and the welcome pack provided by them was brilliant and included a treat for Burt (the Cockapoo). Well, the site was beautiful and quiet with large level pitches, the facilities are superb and included a dog wash! The WiFi worked perfectly and TV reception was good. We must say that Louise's very reasonably priced "full english" breakfast delivered to the motorhome door on china plates was magnificent, on the second morning we had freshly baked croissants again delivered to the motorhome - wonderful service. Okay, I've run out of superlatives but I guess that you get the gist of it. We very much look forward to returning for a longer visit!

Great Weekend.

This is our 4th visit to this gem of a site.As always a warm welcome from Greg even though we arrived after dark,setting up was made much easier as we knew where everything was. We love staying here as it's like a home from home,and we our lucky it's only an hour from where we live. Th surrounding countryside is beautiful,and the sound of the river at the bottom of the site is very relaxing,although due to a few days of heavy rain was a little angry this time. We had a couple of meat pies which Louise makes from the freezer in the little hut,the cream tea as always a lovely treat. Greg,and Louise work so hard to make your stay a good one and nothing is too much trouble.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful time at Poole Farm. The location is perfect, quiet and without any light pollution. There is everything you need available here, and the Lou's home cooking is amazing! We were given a complimentary cream tea when we arrived, delivered to our caravan. We, also had a vegetarian cooked dinner and dessert on our last night, perfect 😊 Poole Farm is an amazing site and we will definitely be back. Thank you Greg and Lou.

The best campsite in so many ways. Having Lou’s delicious food delivered to the camper is a real pleasure. The quiet location. Lovely countryside. Great facilities. A feeling of tranquility. Hope to return soon.

What a fantastic (by accident) find of a CL

Came across this CL by accident and so glad I did - so peaceful and Lou & Greg seemed to have thought of everything. This is slightly remote but with Lou's lovely meals delivered to your van and cream tea's, homemade Jams & Chutneys & a well stocked freezer with homemade Pie's & meals to purchase you needn't worry. A long weekend stay with no cooking - just perfect. A lovely field for dogs to exercise and a swinging seat to just relax & take in the sun. Will definitely be returning - thank you
