Brilliant Family Site

We have just spent 2 weeks at Hillhead, we have had a lovely time with our two children aged 3 and 5, we did lots of day trips and still felt there was loads to see in the area. The Steam Train to Paignton was great - nice and short so the children really enjoyed it without getting bored. Paignton was not really to our taste but fun on the beach for the kids. We loved Dartmouth and went on foot using the bus service and in the car and used the park and ride, both were fine and crabbing was great in Dartmouth. The Golden Hind in Brixham was worth a look round nd some good restaurants and cafes there too. Paignton Zoo was absolutely fabulous, we will go again! Pennywell Farm the other side of Totnes was fab with the mini pig racing and tractor rides! We resorted to the Wizzkids softplay in Brixham once and the kids loved it and got rid of some pent up energy on a very wet day! We went to Plym Valley near Plymouth Town Centre for a bike ride, we hired a tandem from the Bike bus and the staff there were brilliant, the ride took us 7 miles each way and our 5 year old managed all 14 miles on his islabike! Its downhill all the way back which helps and free parking! I'm a keen runner and mountain Biker and found the site location was good for running if you like roads, but I kept off main roads and went on lanes towards Coleton Fishacre, I ran to the Coastal path a few times but BEWARE it is very very steep and I am a fell runner from the Peak District - it isn't for the faint hearted! Riding our bikes Up Penhill Lane was extremely tricky - if you can ride up that then hats off to you! The wardens did a fabulous job, especially as some ladies were disgusting in their bathroom habits - come on ladies sort it out! We stayed on the top field where the larger pitches are and found our side (pitch 252) was very dry but the other side flooded. All in all the entertainment was good our kids loved it and the 2p slots! Food from the restaurant was varied but we never had a bad meal. All in all recommended and we will return!
