Date of Visit: August 2019 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 7 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Susieq88 2 reviews from this member

 Excellent site - very well kept. Toilets and showers also excellent. We were on a fully serviced pitch. Pitch number 61. We shared a rubbish bin and chemical emptying point with one other pitch. We had our own fresh water supply and waste disposal drain. Nice little shop.

Fish and chips twice a week, morris dancing one evening and the staff organised a “wear pink” day to raise money for Breast cancer.

Very helpful staff. I asked about the site and it’s history and one of ladies printed out two sheet information for me. I even asked for a recipe for cheese straws that were being sold on the “wear pink” day and a day after we left, the manager emailed it to us!

Highly recommend this site - only slight draw back is that the narrow single lane road leading to the site is just over half a mile from the main road which was too far for me to walk (we have a motorhome). We hired a car from Enterprise for three days which worked out very well for us. We visited National Trust properties, Dartmouth, Teignmouth and Dartmoor.

 This was our second visit to this site and it is just a s good as we remembered.

We stayed on Blackrock Copse so enjoyed a fully served pitch for 4 nights.

The facilities are always clean and the off lead dog walking areas are huge. All in all a very relaxing stay.

Reviewer: Sue Paul 80 reviews from this member

 Second visit to this site and probably our last.

Great facilities and all in lovely condition but as we have a motorhome there is little to see, we've done it all now.

Walks are roads only so hard work, nothing to see easily which isn't the sites fault.

Its best for Caravans then you have a Car to tour in, then come back to the peace and quiet. 


Date of Visit: October 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Hookupandgo 4 reviews from this member

 This was our VERY FIRST touring caravan holiday! It had to go smoothly, we had high expectations, we travelled 4 hours from the Caravan Sales office straight to Dornafield.

First impressions was a lovely warm welcome at reception, handed a map and directions to our pitch.

The touring park was very well maintained, the shower and toilet blocks are the cleanest I have ever seen and the radio playing in the background is a lovely touch!

My parents come here regularly and love it, excellent location and friendly staff.

The pitch was perfect for us, opposite the facilities and the children loved the climbing frames in the woods, a real adventure!

Games room we didn't use as our children are 2 and 4.

Its a bit nerve racking driving down the narrow lane but if we can do it as first timers then anyone can! :)

We would definitely come back, thank you for a lovely stay.

Date of Visit: June 2017 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Atizone 3 reviews from this member

 Just had a fantastic 2 week stay in our tent. Stayed on the Orchard Field (15 south facing). Just myself and my wif.

Can't comment on child friendliness in stars but after walking round there are two well maintained kids play areas with lots to do. What a beautiful site.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Shower and toilet block is the best and cleanest I have ever used in all my years camping. Hats off to the cleaning team.

Nice peaceful site with plenty to do around the area. Especially the Two Mile Oak just a 10 minute walk up the road!

Overall a great site and will definitely be visiting again. 


Date of Visit: July 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan

Reviewer: TeamGray 15 reviews from this member

 We arrived very stressed out after trying to maneauveure the caravan down the long narrow lanes. It is deffinately a good idea not to arrive early at this site, we even tried to only leave the site for the day early in the morning and return later in the afternoon to avoid meeting any oncoming traffic.

The site itself was beautiful and very well looked after, the best grass I have ever seen on a pitch! We stayed in Butter Meadow which was a fully serviced pitch. They encourage you to pitch your van and awning exactly on the hard standing which left plenty of room for the car and a grass area to sit out on.

There were bins in between each pitch and you put a sign out when it needed emptying, what a brilliant idea. Other pitches in black rock copse had sanitary emptying points for each unit. That didn't appeal to us as I could imagine our children playing around it and not sure of smell either.

I guess this could be handy for some though. Our waste hose was not long enough to reach the drain on the pitch, so we bought some in the well stocked shop. The play areas were brilliant and not too noisy. Toilets were very well kept with radio 2 playing in the ladies! The showers were next door.

Entertained by a visiting Morris dancer team one evening, which was funny. We bought all our bikes but wish we had left the adults bikes at home as it was too hilly and couldn't see anything over high lanes.

Beautiful site but I'm afraid the approaching lane has put us off from returning.

 Lovely site with superb facilities and the toilets were always warm and clean. Nice Dog walk area and a good shop where you can order papers and bread.

Some lovely wildlife around with Buzzards a plenty.

Reviewer: MaryB 15 reviews from this member

 Despite being a narrow lane for the approach, we were impressed with the arrival area and the attractive buildings. The friendly ladies in reception gave us all the information we needed to find our pitch. The pitch was level, spacious and well managed.

We were very pleased to see that we had water, drainage, electrics and TV aerial on each pitch. The site was well laid out and beautifully kept. The toilets were exceptional. Clean, warm, piped music and quilted toilet paper.

The showers were of the same high standard. Even the chemical waste area had it's own sink, soap, and paper hand towels. All the staff were friendly at all times and it shows how good camping can be.

We will definitely be back.

Reviewer: Baileybus 30 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 4 day break. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Well maintained site with excellent facilities.

Probably wouldn't stay during school holidays again, as it was quite noisy especially as our pitch was opposite the play area. Best dog walk we have found anywhere with fully enclosed area making it safe for our springer spaniel to run around off lead.

Local pubs serve excellent food and are worth a visit, although you may have to book a table.

Reviewer: Cm.conway 5 reviews from this member

 Very friendly staff, we stayed two nights we parked up on the orchard and it was the biggest pitch I have seen, plenty of space in between each unit. Very clean site.

Amenities were very good, separate toilets and showers for both men and women, showers are spacious, free, once button pressed you get a good amount of time. All amenities are very clean, washing up area clean airy and bright.

A nice dog walking area. There is one pub close by the two trees inn within walking distance great food but recommend you book, dogs are allowed in garden an bar. We will be returning.

Reviewer: Welshy woman 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed for 10 days and have just got back, lovely site and so picturesque. Shower blocks clean, (apart from 1 disgusting child or woman writing on the mirror which the wardens soon cleared once reported) and site well looked after. I would not recommend the quarry kitchen, we paid £15. 20 for x2 fish and chips which were frozen and had no taste at all, very disappointing! I could not believe it was all frozen, I saw them with my own eyes poring the frozen fish and chips into the fryer, we threw ours away as it was so bland. Absolute rip off.

The pitches were not very big but I think this is because we are used to staying at caravan club site where there a massive pitches. My other gripe was we did not like how the bin and waste disposal was right next to our awning, had we have known this we would have picked another pitch. The two mile oak which is half a mile up the road is lovely, well worth a look. Although roads are very narrow with some cars and vans going quite fast but we discovered the area does have a lot of these narrow roads, not great. All in all a nice site.

 We have just spent 9nights at the best caravan site we have been on (dornafild). The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us, the site itself was spotless, the toilets and showers were immaculate. The dog runs were tidy and clean (Alfie said thank you). We will be back in fact before we left we have booked for next Easter, thank you Simon and all your staff what a team

Reviewer: Chuffa 1 review from this member

 Fantastic site. If it's peace and quiet your after, this is the place. Very good facilities, always clean and tidy. The shop on site is well stocked and the staff are very helpful. There is a pub at the end of the road and a great butchers shop at the garden centre half a mile up the road. 10 out of 10 for this site

Reviewer: Larbea22 10 reviews from this member

 Stumbled upon Dornafield by mistake, after the site that we had our hearts set on staying at was fully booked. I am SO glad that they are full, as we would never have discovered this gem of a site.

They have set the bar so high, that I'm worried we'll always compare future sites to Dornafield! We stayed in Blackrock Copse, worth the extra pennies in every way. It was peaceful, well laid out and a perfect place to relax and unwind.

The toilet's and showers were always spotless, and never busy even though the site seemed to be very full.

It's the perfect base for exploring beautiful South Devon and all it has to offer. Newton Abbot is bigger than you'd expect and has plenty of supermarkets to choose from!

We will most definitely be back. Can't wait!
