Peaceful and friendly

Lovely site. Easy to find and with good access. Quiet, peaceful surroundings but with easy access to places of interest and plenty of good walks around. The pub in Bow (White Hart) appeared to be closed down, but wasn't! The Waei Inn, 2 miles away, has good value food and a family atmosphere. We had a problem with our car and can recommend the local garage in Bow. We were grateful for Dave's help, letting us stay till it was fixed. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Little Treasure

We are fairly new to caravanning but this was such a find!   We were lucky enough to be on a pitch next to the lovely little pond area which was like having our own little garden.  The surroundings were stunningly beautiful, and with a shop only 5 minutes walk away, we didn't need to go far for provisions. Dave was such a great host and gave us plenty of helpful information. Facilities were of a good standard and the provision of an extended TV aerial was a nice touch - although we didn't watch the tele much at all as there was so much else to do and sitting out in the evening sun, listening to the birdsong was much nicer. We will definitely be back!

A little Gem

A little gem of tranquility. Would go again and recommend to friends. Friendly welcome and Dave & Phyl always on hand to be helpful. Well kept grass with hard standing for the vans. TV is via a long-length,direct plug-in aerial lead courtesy of Dave's cabling system. O2 mobile signal excellent. (I left the computer at home - well you are on HOLS!). Good Co-Op store within 200 yards (the pasties always smell delicious!) and it has a caravan spares place next door. Bus stops at end of lane opposite the Co-Op; ideal for those with a bus pass. Exeter 50mins by bus, a lovely compact city with a waterside area.

WONDERFUL FIND

This site was truly a wonderful find offering a rural and extremely peaceful location in the Devon village of Bow. The pitches were set in a well kept manicured garden boasting its own pond and pergola. For those who enjoy bird watching then you're in for a treat as during our 7 day stay in late May I counted 27 different species. Bow village is just a short walk direct from the site, as is the convenience of a Co-op store offering a large selection of items. A well stocked garden centre is also within walking distance with the added bonus of a really nice cafe. By car a great deal of picturesque Devon can be explored. Importantly, the owners Dave & Phyl Pengelly were the perfect hosts making you feel welcome and part of the family from the minute you arrived.

lovely cl site

This was our first visit to a CL site, Dave was very welcoming and helpful, the site has lovely surroundings and is quiet, there is one toilet and 2 showers, t V lead was provided, (the only downside was the poor mobile signal for the phones, so you cant use mobile broadband etc. but there is a café up the road with free Wi-Fi should you need it) there is a coop store within walkable distance that is very well stocked and open long hours, their is also a caravan shop next to the coop should you need anything for the van. we live approx. 40miles away so a nice place to get away to for the weekend.

Best kept secret in Devon

If your looking for a noisy site this in not for you. If your looking for a quiet, peaceful and pretty site then look no further. Dave and Phyl a credit to the Caravan Club. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We have been visiting this site for many a year and would not go anywhere else. The site is very well looked after, grass, flower beds and borders are regularly tended and so are the facilities. Sit and watch the the wildlife (squirrels, grouse deer etc) that ventures onto the site- quite enthralling. Close to essential facilities (shop, bus stop, pub etc) all help make life easy. As you can see we are totally in love with the site.

Autumn Visit

First time on the site & very pleasantly surprised. Hardstanging pitches with own TV and water connection, both ladies & gents toilets, a shower and a laundry. Wonder how he manages to do this for just £9 per night when others are charging up to £15 for similar facilities. Site is relatively sheltered and although only 200yds off a main road very quiet. Oakhampton & Crediton are only a short drive away and Dartmoor is easily reached for those interested in walking & cycling, or just touring about. There is a Co-op for essentials on the main road just as one turns for the site, could hardly be handier.
