Another enjoyable stay

We stayed on this site for 13 nights from 10th September and would have posted a review earlier but the CC website was down. So, this is late but still relevant. Great site which didn't disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great to be able to rely on a site when you're staying for a longer spell - and this is certainly one! It's a large site which despite its size manages to be friendly and welcoming. The site is in two sections, mostly (but not all) grassy pitches to one side and exclusively hardstanding to the other. We drove twice around the grassy area before we even found the hardstanding half! Now here's the thing; I'd looked on google earth and saw the hardstanding area as regimented in a few long rows so absolutely not my cup of tea. Wrong! Yes, longish rows, but separated by well tended hedging so actually feels like small cosy areas! Still on a gentle slope but with flat pitches. We managed to get a corner / end of row pitch which caught the afternoon/evening sun, and it was SO quiet except for the wildlife. Perfect. The weather was wonderful so again, we were very lucky. Wardens? CC wardens are often great fun but sometimes on a larger site you can get a couple of rogue dour ones. Not here! They were ALL friendly, welcoming and helpful. They were a joy to greet on the way in/out of the site and pass the time of day. Such a bonus! As with all CC sites, facilities were immaculate and clean all the time and under Covid regulations, a testimony to the wardens who did such a great job! Access to/from the site can be challenging especially as you arrive/leave and you're towing, but so long as you drive with care, take it slowly, and DON'T try any of the shortcuts, it works. Use the A385 Paignton/Totness Road only, as per the CC recommended route. Even though this says clearly what to avoid, in our two weeks we saw a couple of white knuckled arrivals who'd ignored the CC route in favour of the SatNav and were highly stressed as a result! Stoke Gabriel village is lovely and well worth a visit. Ideally walk because it has narrow roads and challenging parking, but we drove on three occasions because of a foot condition which sadly prevented me from walking anywhere. Parking is £5 at the bottom of the hill by the Mill Pool so is expensive if you stay for 10 minutes but worth it if you visit the River Shack where the food is good and they managed Covid and customers beautifully! Hope this helps you decide if Ramslade is the site for you. Other than the occasional nutter on the Stoke Gabriel road, nothing much to complain about!
