We have been to start bay 6 times and love the site and the area. Booked for 10 days then kept adding days to extend our stay and after having to leave after 21 nights max we went to Merrose for 5 nights then came back ! Yes agree with previous comments re the approach roads are rather challenging but so worth it when you arrive and walk to the beach. The site is very clean and very well maintained. The wardens are great very helpful and always busy keeping the site tidy but always time for a chat . Struggled a bit to get reservations at restaurants etc but ste at the Bear and blacksmith and was really impressed with the food and service . Great fish and chip shop on the beach front and great coffee and cakes form the beach hut at Strete. Walked the beach several times so didn’t feel guilty having the cakes ! We walked the coastal path from Blackpool sands out past start bay light house - not all on the same day ! Stunning scenery spoilt by inconsiderate dog owners who don’t clean up after their dogs . Found that to be a problem on the path between the site and stockleys . So be careful. Stockleys farm shop well stocked and not to expensive good quality produce from the butchers . On site cafe is good aswel. . Some lovely shops there Relish has an excellent stock of unusual items worth a visit . Salcombe pretty and worth a visit as is Dartmouth although found the restaurants to be charging over 17.00 for fish and chips ! All in all this is a lovely site with fab friendly wardens . Can’t wait to get back next year
