Standards and Expectations

We love coming to Start Bay, this is our seventh visit. Yes, access is challenging but well worth it! A fellow camper said that he checks the bus time table and follows the bus to make the journey easier. Good bus service to Dartmouth Salcombe and Kingsbridge too Lovely village but the pub and chip shop are very expensive. Large expanse of shingle beach with a fab coffee hut at Strete. The Seabreeze beach cafe serves excellent sandwiches, coffee and cake at reasonable prices. Stokely’s farm shop is only a walk away and very well stocked with a nice selection of other pop up shops and a terrific microbrewery. All in all we have a fab time but it is increasing spoiled by inconsiderate campers who allow the dogs to fowl the grass area of the site not just the local footpaths! Is nothing sacred? Sadly we have noticed a new breed of inconsiderate campers creeping in. Noisy neighbours who insist on banging van doors at 6am when they are getting ready for their day. An impatient Jaguar driver who couldn’t be bothered to wait at check-in like everyone else squeezed past at reception only hold us up getting on to our pitch because he took a couldn’t reverse his rig. A little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T please, we are all supposed to be chilling on holidays. The wardens are wonderful, hard-working and very diplomatic doing their best to navigate through visitors’ bad behaviour. The site is immaculate and well maintained and we still love coming here so to all these thoughtless ones ‘buck your ideas up’.
