A lovely peaceful location

We stayed for 9 days towards the end of the prolonged drought conditions but everywhere was still so green and tranquil with the river in the background and various birds and deer calling. Staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival (and all through the stay) and all facilities were in general kept lovely and clean and tidy, just some users who didn’t care about others left toilets dirty or shower cubicles awash on the floor, but that’s not unusual I’m afraid. The only real issue we encountered was even using hard ground pegs and a heavy mallet the ground was like concrete (literally thought I’d picked a pitch with concrete sub base) so bear it in mind if ever you go in drought conditions take drill in pegs and a hammer drill! The granite chippings are pretty sharp and we’re penetrating the “carpet” in the awning so be careful with inflatable awnings and any dogs with soft pads. Overall a great base to explore by bike, on foot or by car all the area has to offer. If you go in the river check for leeches as I did pull one off the dogs face one evening!!! If you go at dusk over the river and up through middle path if you’re quiet you may get to see the wild deer as I was fortunate to get to. Final words of advice is the Petrol/diesel station up the High Street shuts at 1pm on a Saturday and other filling options are few and far between (Tiverton has most options and a Halfords etc). Some greenery and trees on the road in from Tiverton are low and a risk to caravan roofs etc but they have been cutting some back but there’s a way to go so beware. If it wasn’t for having to negotiate the M5 and M42 I’d be back at this site with great regularity.
