Why is this site not full all the time???

A huge site with huge pitches, many of which are on the flat. and there are great views from some pitches. Delightful wardens who keep the site immaculate and are so friendly and helpful. One of the best dog walks we have ever encountered and a huge play area/football pitch. The beautiful weather we experienced during our two week stay certainly made it all the more enjoyable but even over two hot weekends there were loads of empty pitches which was such a shame. OK this site does not have a toilet block and ancillary facilities but most units now have their own toilet/shower and this site is ideal for visiting Ilfracombe, Woolacome, Linton and Lymmouth, Combe Martin all of which are just a short drive away and some have huge, glorious sandy beaches. To stay here is such bargain price and it is such a shame it is not always full. Many thanks to the charming and friendly new wardens who go out of their way to welcome every visitor and to answer any queries.

Stop over before continuing on travels.

A very well kept site we were made welcome by the wardens and had an enjoyable stay just one problem because of the sunny period the horse flies found me a good takeaway. Use sun screen and they find you less interesting. Will be returning later in year and make a longer stay..

Quiet and well kept

Very peaceful and well kept site; not too busy at this time of year [June]. Staff very friendly and helpful. Stayed initially for 2 nights but when weather changed we came back for another 3. Plenty of points for waste disposal and fresh water and motorhome grey waste emptying point. Will certainly come again. Thank you.

Recent stay

We have stayed for four nights over the bank holiday. Stayed many times and love it here. This year there are lovely new wardens and had a friendly greeting and checked we were ok the next morning. They keep the site immaculately and you see them around. Site handy for touring around Woolacombe, Ilfracombe, Barnstaple, Lyndon and Lynmouth. Nice just sitting outside your caravan. We will be back.

One of our favourite sites

Have just returned from a 7 day stay at this wonderful site.We have been staying here on a regular basis for more years than i care to mention but i never tire of it's beautiful setting.From the top of the site you have expansive sea views and from the bottom of the site rolling Devon countryside. This year the new wardens are very welcoming,friendly and extremely hard working. The grass is in great condition and from the bottom of the site services it looks like a premier football club pitch. For dog owners the site has a large field where your best friend can roam,run or play to it heart's content. All this and for only £14 a night.

We just can't keep away!

We love this site and have been very regular visitors for more than 20 years. Everyone is so friendly and, like us, most people are regulars. We like to use the seasonal storage facility, which works brilliantly for us. This year, we arrived on site just ahead of the snow, only to wake up the following morning to a winter wonder land. The wardens, Eric and Sharon, were amazing, so helpful and, in spite of the Arctic conditions, worked tirelessly and with good humour. Eric checked on us every day whilst we were 'snowed in' to make sure that we were ok. Truly beyond the call of duty. The only trouble we have is tearing ourselves away, we just never want to leave. One thing.... Please, please, please can you repair the steps and reinstate the woodland walk down to the little brook, because it is so, so magical and we miss our walks into 'Dingley Dell' or the 'Fairy Glen' as our grandchildren used to call it, a little piece of peace on earth now missing.

Fantastic site

The wardens work hard. The grass and flowers are lovely. A gated dog walk area with bin is great for our dog. The site is near to Woolacomb beach which is dog friendly. The only noise is some barking dogs in a neighbouring field occasionally while we were there.

Dogs

Third visit here and the facilities are always clean and tidy and well kept by the wardens. We probably won't stay again because each time we do we hoped that the smallholding about quarter of a mile down the road would have done something to keep their dogs from continuous barking, not the dogs fault because they are left alone most of the time and are probably bored. I could easily pick out at least half a dozen, one of which has a high pitched yelp, needless to say dogs barking is one of my pet hates, excuse the pun!. It's a pity because everything we want is in the direct area so it seems Willingcott or Damage Barton will now be our choice. My comments are not in any way a criticism of the site or in the way it is run, just a personal observation, rant over, cheers.

We love this site.

We love this site (normally come outside of school time) but it's not bad. Nice to see children playing outside. Handy for many places, it's quiet and very clean and well kept. We have thought about leaving our van on a seasonal pitch but have always wondered about security as there are no barriers to access the site. In a previous review we see caravans did get broken into. It's a shame as I am sure more people would take advantage and leave there caravans.

Good for Kids

This is a lovely site very helpful Wardens. Excellent site for Kids. Would love to visit this site when the schools are back. We are two adults and three dogs. Lots of kids having fun on scooter and bikes and for some reason had to keep stopping outside our caravan which started our dogs barking. (This was a pain).
