Wet March week

Wet & windy Dartmoor last week, enjoyed it despite the weather. Lots of walking and places to visit locally. Lydford Gorge a must, Dartmoor itself superb walking and touring, Buckland Abbey a brilliant National Trust attraction. The site is very rural, a few pubs locally, Bearslake Inn, Castle Inn both very nice, decent food and reasonable value. Not much else in Lydford but great place to relax. Site was clean & tidy, shower block more than sufficient & all well managed by a very friendly and efficient team of Wardens. I can see that the grass might get worn and muddy this time of the year as the on site roads are narrow and there is not much hard standing for parking by your pitch. Having said that thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will come back again one day.

9th to 13th October and Goose Fair

Third time we have stayed here. Easy access for most caravans. All wardens extremely helpful and friendly. Site clean, toilet block a little dated but warm and water hot enough for me. We cycled to Okehampton on Granite trail and also from Princetown along old railway track. Visited Tavistock for Goose Fair and Buckland Abbey, both well worth the visit. A good central site for Dartmoor.

Second visit.

We were welcomed by the lovely friendly wardens who work so hard to keep standards up. This site is perfect for walking the gorge. I would say pitches are small and tight, plus facilities due for an overhaul.

Peaceful retreat

Stayed a week from end of August until 3rd Sept. Wardens very efficient and helpful, very peaceful site in local non tourist village. Excellent meals in the Castle, proper local pub and only 10 minute walk. Glad we booked as very popular. We were lucky to be able to access the site wifi from our pitch and had good service all week. Toilets clean if not fancy. About 30 miles to Bude on north coast and Plymouth south so good central location for days out. Would definitely go again. As with most sites on the network, this one suffers from early arrivers, and there really is no room at the entrance to wait so wardens have to accept them. We waited in a lay by until the right time, turns out we were 6th to check in! Obviously they may not be members as this is an AS.

Great little site

We stayed a this site for two nights on our way down to Cornwall, the wardens are very friendly & helpful. We went into the far field which has the better views over Dartmoor, nice well spaced pitches but some did need a long electric cable. Lydford Gorge is an easy walk away along with the cycle trail which goes into Oakhampton. We felt that the facilities block was in need of some up dating now but was still clean & usable with plenty of hot water available. Definitely one to return to.

Fantastic Site

A firm favourite of ours for visiting in August, very peaceful and friendly site. The wardens are fantastic and extremely helpful. We stayed last weekend and unfortunately one of our dogs was poorly, the warden took us to the local vet and we got it sorted, our peaceful bank holiday weekend was saved, many thanks. The village of Lydford is tranquil and beautiful, pub is great and has a great beer garden and there is a farm shop which sells great produce. Granite way is very close so good for cyclists and lots of good walks from the site.

Great welcome.

We stayed 4 nights on this lovely site. We were met at the gate by the friendly staff and were allowed to choose our pitch from several that were available. We were given very helpful information on the area. We enjoyed a walk in nearby Lydford Gorge, a cycle ride along the Granite Way to Oakhampton and a walk up Brat Tor all within walking distance from the site. We were advised that wireless reception was best available from the laundry room which had a seating area but we found we had good reception from our pitch. The toilets and showers were immaculately clean and the view over Dartmoor was fantastic. This site was one of our favourite sites for a short break and the staff are second to none. Highly recommended if you like peace and quiet with walking and cycling easily accessible from site.

At The Top

Stayed at Lydford site 25 June-8 July 2016. The wardens were At The Top for being friendly, helpful and just downright wonderful. Three days after our arrival it rained like it was going out of fashion! The inside of our large awning ended up being partly under water due to the high water table. We casually mentioned this to the Head Warden Ian, who immediately came to inspect the problem and told us he wanted to help us all he could. He offered us another pitch, but we loved where we were on a grass pitch in the beautiful field. He provided us with a large tarpaulin, rubber mats and a few other items to enable us to stay dry. He was brilliant. All the wardens were very helpful and friendly all the time and nothing was too much trouble for them. No grumpy faces whatever time of day or night! The site was also At The Top for its location, stunning views from the top of the site, surrounding countryside, local pubs and the dog walk was the best I've ever seen. The site was immaculate. Lydford village is delightful especially having a pub within walking distance of the site. Lydford Gorge is amazing. Cycling and walking paths wonderful. Nearby villages quirky and well worth a visit; again lots of pubs within a short drive with yummy food and excellent beer/wine. We had a delightful holiday in a very peaceful and beautiful area. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
