A good site but busy, busy!

We visited Start Bay in a 7.2mtr motorhome. The drive from Kingsbridge to the site was a bit of a challenge but would have been worse coming from Dartmouth! The site itself is kept immaculate by the very friendly wardens, however we found it quite a busy site partly, I suspect, due to it’s compact nature. There was a fair bit of road noise especially for the pitches close to the entrance. We also had 2 days of fence posts being hammered in, in the field above the site followed by a day of duelling chain saws in the woods behind! Can’t be helped; the work had to done but it didn’t make for a peaceful stay. The site has a small dog area which has a track leading from it to the excellent Stokeley Farm Shop and Cafe, (10mins), and down the hill to Torcross, (20mins). Torcross has a shingle beach, the excellent Start Bay Inn and a cafe/take away. The bus stop for Dartmouth is also there and is advised; especially for motorhomers! All in all, we enjoyed our stay but if returning to the area might look at other sites first due mainly to the access roads to and from. We actually left at 7am in order to avoid the morning traffic which was a good plan but I hope we didn’t disturb our neighbours!
