Would come back again
Jacqueline, London
Date of stay: 18th July 2020
Caravan was of a very high quality and very comfortable, better than expected.
Cleanliness of caravan was excellent, obviously in the present situation with covid, we were worried about staying away from home, but the cleaning staff and David who cleaned our caravan for our arrival did an outstanding job making everything really clean. Staff at site ensured all safety measures were in place and explained as well. Would recommend.

One of the best holidays we have been on. Even thought there was nothing on site you had so much around you. So it was nice to come home to a lovely quiet site, sit outside and just watch the sun set. Beautiful clean site

Really nice and friendly site - very quiet, without a clubhouse or pool, but we prefer sites like this so thats why we chose it. A lot of people live in the caravans on this site during the year.

This was a lovely little caravan park, friendly and helpful staff although I did hear they want to make it a lot bigger with clubhouse facilities which is a shame, however couldn't fault it when we stayed.

A lovely van. Well maintained. Comfortable and clean. A perfect size for the 3 of us. We'll book this style again. Great location as well.
Gillian, Derby
Clean and comfortable caravan.

Good value for money.
Madele, Chessington
Lovely caravan with everything you need for a family of 5. Quick tip for the summer months a head, remember to bring a portable fan or Aircon unit as the caravan is really well insulated and can get quite hot inside. Also bring along a few camping chairs to enjoy the summer evenings outside the caravan.
Sally, Carshalton
Nice caravan clean and tidy
Lisa
We had a lovely stay. Everthing was very clean. Exept there were no towels and no soap.
Louisa
Such a beautiful park in a beautiful place such a shame we had a family emergency to go home to after 3 days
Valerie
The site was lovely and quiet. People very friendly
Sarah
A lovely place to stay. The caravan was very clean as always. Very quiet location with lots of space.
John
The caravan we had was perfect the best we have stayed in. It had en-suite in main bedroom and the caravan was completely spotless which is a credit to the staff on the site. The site itself was clean, tidy and quiet which was just right.
Jayne
Peaceful site, convenient for getting around and sightseeing in Devon. Excellent accomodation with friendly and helpful staff.
David
Park is well kept and tidy. The only drawbacks are that the very thin foam on the caravan seating is uncomfortable and that the location is on the very busy main road and the constant traffic noise makes for a noisy holiday which unfortunately spoils the peace and tranquility of the park.
Jamie
Basic site with no club or pool, but very clean and great location for sightseeing. Perfect if that’s what you’re after.
Sarah
Lovely quiet park, easy to get to and staff very helpful
