If you are out late at night be aware that we lock the gates at night from 11pm to 7:30 am for additional security There is plenty of space to park in the drive but if you do restrict access to and from the park we will wake you at 7:30 in the morning to move your vehicle
Our information point has a freezer for customers use and a coffee machine that grinds from the bean Local information can be found here including local walks. More can be found on the welcome pack and Dartmoor magazine given to all guests If you want any more ideas of what to do or where to go just ask us.
As we are out in the countryside you do need a directional aerial for your TV, the normal aerial with the pole you push up that is fitted to most modern caravans is OK. We also ask all guests to use environmentally friendly toilet chemicals
