We only had one week so rather than tow our van the 300 miles from Preston we decided to hire a static van. The price was very reasonable compared to that of a nearby site I checked out. The van was very well equipped, apart from a hair dryer. Each room had heating, important in Autumn. The site is sloping so anyone with mobility issues ask for a van in the top row. The shop and bar are at the top of the site. You need to go to the shop daily to get bread freshly baked. I liked the way the statics are all named after one of the Dartmoor Tors. If you arrive at the weekend; meals are available in the dog- friendly bar. This was very cosy being on the ground floor of the characterful house. I found the lighting too low for reading, as one or two lone campers were doing. If you are here for the beer, then try the local Jail Ale, brewed at Princetown. My interesting find this visit was the industrial archaeology of the Tamar Valley. Along with Tavistock a World Heitage Site owing to the copper and tin mining. Cyclists can use an old tram line from the Tamar Trails Centre near Gunnislake. Bikes can be hired here. You can also walk along the River from Cotehele Quay (National Trust)to Calstock where there is a fine pub and a dramatic viaduct. A very informative booklet of walks is available. I got mine from the camp site shop. This is a good place to go for campers who can't camp, as it does not have the soulless feel of a static site. Overall a beautiful site in a fascinating area, well recommended.
This is a beautiful site in an idyllic location. Although off the beaten track, the access is good and well-signposted. On arrival we had a very friendly welcome from the warden and our pitch was superbly located with stunning views over the surrounding countryside. There is a lot of attention to detail and there is a commitment to preserving the environment and encouraging wildlife. The toilet block was really good with large (if very hot. ) showers. I was taken ill during our stay and the wardens couldn't have been more helpful sorting taxis to the hospital etc. Walks on to Dartmoor are literally at the gate of the site. We would certainly go back again if in the area. Excellent value for money, too. A real gem.
Just returned from a few nights camped at Langstone Manor - What a fab site! The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.
Our pitch was a good size with a little picnic bench, which is a lovely touch. The site is very pretty, and much care has been taken with flowers and hedging, to give good screening around the site. We were impressed with the superb toilet facilities, laundry, Washing up and even a dog wash area. Very well thought out, and all very clean.
We visited the games room, and the toys and games in the pub for the kids was a great find on a wet day. The little ones enjoyed the park, and we appreciated the picnic benches dotted about the play area for a little sit to watch them play.
The site location is very pretty on the moor, the kids loved seeing all the sheep and cows grazing, Its only 10 mins from Tavistock, which is a super pretty place, with a great covered market. Basically this place is a great find and we will have to return.
Good base for exploring Dartmoor and other areas of Devon. Caravan Spacious. Wardens Polite and helpful. Reception stocked a small amount of general food items. Ideal for walkers & cyclist. On site pub/restaurant. We recommend The Peter Tavy Inn Dartmoor a 15 Century building for a delicious meal. Princetown is an interesting village. Supermarkets are: Morrisons and the Co Op.
We have visited on several occasions and are always struck by friendliness of the staff and of course the stunning location. The refurbished amenity block is of a very high standard, and pitches all have a good view, with statics well screened. The approach road is narrow but quiet. Prices in high season are slightly over our budget but they don't charge for dogs which is a big plus if you have 2 of them! Can't comment on the bar, food or games since we didn't make use of them, but it's nice to know there's a bar nearby if you fancy a change. We will have no hesitation in returning.
My husband and myself with our two border collies have stayed at Langstone Manor for the last 3 - 4 years in our touring caravan. Although the roads are very narrow approaching it which may be a bit challenging for the extremely large units, we manage ok with our 4 berth caravan, just take it steady slow and watch for the sharp bends.
The reception staff have always been very friendly but not intrusive.
The facilities are excellent and I particularly like the environmentally friendly slant on how the park operates ie use of rain water gathering for toilets, solar panels for heating and light flues in toilet block to reduce use of electricity lighting. The facilities are not dark however as they do use electric lighting as well.
The washing up facilities are always clean and hot water available. Although sometimes you have to be a bit patient for this to run through, I suspect more so when the site is busy. It is also inside, good for those wet Devon nights.
The showers are large and again very clean with a good amount of hot water in between the button pushes.
Overall superb stay and would recommend it to all.
Stayed for two nights and I must say what a FANTASTIC campsite. The first night we went for a drink in the bar and met the site wardens, lovely couple who let us borrow their halogen heater for our tent as it was going to be a cold night (it was)! The site itself was immaculate, toilets/showers better than home! Food good, bar good, dog friendly, could not ask for more. Being on the edge of dartmoor the views, walks etc were amazing! Recommend this site to anyone and will certainly be back. Ian, Gemma, Kai, Mia and Jimmy Dog!
We have been staying in a pod at this campsite. To be honest, it is not really our type of place. We found it very difficult to travel to, you access it through narrow lanes. Whilst there is a bar on site that does food it is only open between 19.00-21.00 and food is only served for the 1st hour. They do not do a light menu and all food are meals priced between £8-£9. The reception is only manned for 2 hours in the morning and whilst you can ring a bell at other times to get someone to provide you access, the time we did it was not greeted with enthusiasm. I suspect that this is a great site if you are a serious walker, or a family that is looking to explore the Devon area, but for my husband, myself and our dog Skittles it just didn't hit the mark.
We stayed in one of the bigger pods (Saddle Tor). Two adults and two kids. This was bought for us by a relative for Xmas! We arrived on site in the rain! Great start to our little break. We were shown to our pod and left to unpack. Very welcoming staff and overall we had a wonderful time. Staff were all very helpful and polite. Staff went above and beyond their daily duties.
Very clean, tidy, trusting holiday park, one of the best that we have stopped at.
Little did I realise, my boyfriend (as he was at the time) had already rang ahead and arranged for the staff to put flowers and a bottle of my favourite wine in the pod. Such a lovely thing to do. The staff had actually put balloons, flowers, chocolates, wine and a congratulations card ready for our arrival! I didn't understand until my boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed! My boyfriend is now my fiancé! I said YES! The staff had bought chocolates, extra flowers and a card as a congratulations gift for us. Not many places would do that! What a lovely thing to do. We had our photo taken with our balloons, flowers, glass of wine each and the kids. First proposal at Langstone Manor apparently!
Anyway, back to the review - the games room was ace, the kids loved it. The air hockey table was our favourite, we spent a fair few quid on that! We ate the first night we were there and it was beautiful. Good hearty meals served in a warm and inviting dining room. Kids loved it as there were loads and loads of toys to play with. There are even books for you to borrow. I borrowed a book thinking I'd get chance to read it over the three nights we were there - nope, not with the games room being as good as it is. I think it's so nice to have such trusting people running a holiday park. There was none of this booking the books in and out, its all very trusting.
Toilets and showers were always clean and tidy. We used the bathroom for our two young lads, clean clean clean. Very impressed. Washing up facilities were brilliant too. There's even a coffee machine in the washing up room - it didn't work one night, money was taken no drink given, we weren't bothered about the money but told the staff so they could put a sign on and they gave us the money back. Bin areas were big and well signed. Emptied regularly and not smelly like some bin areas have been. The children's play area was really good. Our littlest lad loved the 'wendy house'.
Overall we would highly recommend Langstone Manor. Staff are all very friendly and genuine.
Wow what a find this site is! The location is perfect for exploring Dartmoor and places of interest. The site itself is second to none, pitches have views over Dartmoor, the planting around the site is superb and as for the showers and toilets they rival many 5 star hotels. The staff are friendly and very willing to help in anyway they can. The food in the restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. All in all a holiday to remember, can't wait to visit again!
We have been visiting this site for over 20 years and it has always been pleasurable. Immaculately positioned just on the edge of the moor yet within easy reach of Tavy.
Set in the grounds of an old house, the entrance to the site through a field of mobile homes can be a bit off putting, but the camping fields are superb.
On this visit we were delighted to find a new toilet block. When I say this is of Caravan Club site standard you will understand. As the old block was the only negative we ever had, we now think this site is near perfect.
There are glamping pods, caravan rentals and holiday apartments available on site for un equipped travellers.
All South moor and Devon attractions are easily accessible from Tavy. For foodies the Peter Tavy Inn is a must, and good fare can be had at The Whitchurch Inn, both within a reasonable walk, or there is good food and ale available at the site bar.
Our boys loved the site when they were young, and they now come with their wives.
Excellent site to visit approximately 10 minute drive to the edge of pretty town of Tavistock. Open moorland just outside site entrance where your dogs can romp off lead under supervision, as there are sheep and ponies roaming free.
Caravanning facilities are excellent. Superb washing up facilities under warm cover (very good for typical Devon weather). Superb toilet block facilities and they are a very green site, but these green facilities do not stop them being very good. Lots of hot water. Staff are extremely friendly but not in your face.
My husband and I and our 2 dogs had a wonderful stay at the site and we will be returning. Thank you to the staff
I booked over the phone with a polite and helpful staff member.
On arrival the site was very quiet; only a few other vans. The lady at reception was friendly, helpful, assisting with taxi details. We were given a large pitch which was lovely slate aggregate above traditional 'hardcore' - superb attention to detail as this was quiet, comfortable with bare feet and pleasing to look at. The site is in a magic rural location, a short drive from Tavistock but in the heart of the moor. The washroon facilities were simply perfect, spotless and fully functional and maintained to a very high standard. Really very very good. Just can't wait to go back.
The site is actually on a slope, which gives great views, there is a children's play area - enough to keep them happy for an hour or two here or there. All very good - a delightful stay on a lovely site.
We had a lovely 10 days here. The site is reached by turning off the main Tavistock to Princetown road onto a narrow road for a mile or so, there are passing places and we have never encountered a problem here but driving a bit slower and being aware is probably wise as other drivers can come along these lanes quickly
The first area as you enter the site has mobile homes on it, nicely sited and tucked away surrounded by trees and gardens, some to rent and some owned as holiday homes. We had stayed in one of these a couple of years ago and were delighted with it. There are also cottages to let and flats in and adjoining the main manor house. This is ideal if you have extended family eg grand parents who prefer not to camp. There are also some camping pods which looked great.
The site has three main areas for camping, a 'hidden' shady area, a walled garden and a terraced area with beautiful views, there are some hard standing pitches in each of these areas. All the pitches were flat, and were a variety of sizes. Even though there had been lots of rain before we visited, the pitches had all coped. The wardens were very helpful and friendly and looked after the site well.
Langstone Manor has a safe protected feel. The walks from the site are great, you can leave the car at the site and be on the moor in minutes. Its a brilliant site for dog owners, there isn't a dog walk on site but you are only a short walk from the lane outside. A nice touch was doggy waste bags and bins at the two entrances/exits.
The Toilet block was immaculately clean all the time with large roomy showers, vanity basins and toilets, in the cooler months it is heated. There was also a separate bathroom for a small charge (you get key from reception) which is ideal when you have children. There is a separate washing up room and laundry room. The Laundry room had one hand washing sink (small charge for hot water) and two washing machines and tumble dryers, can't remember exact charge for these but it was reasonable. Iron also available.
The manor house has a bar and meals are available, there is a large room with lots of books local information etc and board games. There is no late evening noise on site. There is a wooden built children's play area with bark floor in the middle of the mobile home area which is suitable for younger children but is not in an area where you could watch your children if camping. This site is ideal for all age groups, most of those staying when we visited were adults who like walking and the outdoor lifestyle, or just sitting outside their unit relaxing enjoying the views and peace and quiet. The weekend saw more families arrive for weekend camping trips.
Nearest shops are at Tavistock, which is a nice small market town. There are lots of places to visit from this site, some good National Trust properties close by. But best of all the wonderful moors.
The campsite is on the edge of Dartmoor. You only have to walk 5 minutes up the road and you are on the open moor. A fantastic location for walking!
The pitches are level and I had a picnic bench on my pitch, which was a nice addition. I didn't feel that there was much privacy between the pitches where I was, but there were other areas of the site where there were more secluded areas - and I had asked for a sunny pitch!
The dishwashing facilities are clean and well equipped, with bowls and draining racks and plenty of hot water.
Similarly, the toilet and shower block was clean and well equipped, with hand soap provided at the sinks.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming to me and my dog. There are poo bins and bags at the entrances to the site and several people seemed to have a dog with them. Dogs must be kept on a lead on the site.
The bar was a welcome place to go in the evening as it was quite chilly to be sitting outside. The food was freshly cooked and served hot. I also took advantage of the ordering service where you can order baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolat at the reception or the bar, which you collect from the reception the following morning - very useful when you realise you have forgotten to bring the bread with you. The shop at the reception also sold a few basics.
In summary, it was a very friendly, small site which I would recommend if you are looking for a quiet location.

We only had one week so rather than tow our van the 300 miles from Preston we decided to hire a static van. The price was very reasonable compared to that of a nearby site I checked out.

I found the lighting too low for reading, as one or two lone campers were doing. If you are here for the beer, then try the local Jail Ale, brewed at Princetown. My interesting find this visit was the industrial archaeology of the Tamar Valley. Along with Tavistock a World Heitage Site owing to the copper and tin mining. Cyclists can use an old tram line from the Tamar Trails Centre near Gunnislake. Bikes can be hired here. You can also walk along the River from Cotehele Quay (National Trust)to Calstock where there is a fine pub and a dramatic viaduct. A very informative booklet of walks is available. I got mine from the camp site shop. This is a good place to go for campers who can't camp, as it does not have the soulless feel of a static site. Overall a beautiful site in a fascinating area, well recommended.
