Date of Visit: August 2015 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Millerdaz 1 review from this member

 Just returned from Upton manor campsite with our trailer tent had a good stay nice level pitch which is a must for us a really pleasant check in where we received various bits of information and attraction leaflets. We thought the campsite was ran really well shower block and toilets were kept spotless and there was always plenty of hot water in the showers. It is about a mile stroll down into Brixam which to me isn't a problem but the walk back is all up hill which some people may find a struggle, but during the day there is a local bus that stops outside the campsite and getting a taxi is easy enough. There is a caravan park just next door with store and club house which we used a few times for games of pool and to watch some of the entertainment. Would definitely recommend.

 Lovely quiet site, well kept and clean. The owners were there if we needed them but after booking in we didn't see them on site, so felt relaxed.

The toilets and showers always looked like they had just been cleaned. The only thing I would say is there is nowhere in the showers to put belongings except for pegs that my 10 year old could only just reach.

Lovely hedge pitch with plenty of space, even with our 12 man tent.

Would highly recommend and definitely return one day.

No facilities in site except for the basics which suited us.

 My wife and I have just returned home after a 4 day stay at Upton Manor and we will be returning sometime in the future. The site was very well maintained with ample pitching space, the toilets and wash room were always spotlessly clean, and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Next to the site is South Bay holiday park with all it's facilities that are available to all at Upton Manor, these include a well stocked shop, take away, bar, and entertainment. There is also a bus service that runs from the site to Brixham harbour every 15 mins up until 5pm, All in all we had a very enjoyable time and we would recommend this site to any of our friends wishing to visit south Devon.

 This was our 3rd visit to Upton Manor Farm. This is a brilliant site very flat, large and level tent pitches. We always book the Hedge pitch as they are extra big. Site facilities good, always hot showers - very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Good walk into Brixham (downhill) about a mile. Coming back you can either walk, take the local bus or taxi. Lovely walks from the campsite too. Grounds very well looked after -always clean and tidy. Big bonus no dogs aloud.

 Just returned from Upton Manor campsite. We were only staying for a short break but am sure we will return again. The site is level and drains well, good job as there was torrential rain while we were there. Pitches are a good size. We don't have young children but a small play area may be a nice addition. The toilet facilities were always very clean, the shower cubicles were a bit on the small size and not anywhere much to place your clean clothes and towel without getting them damp, just a few hooks on the doors and wall which I found rather high up to reach. I would have preferred privacy cubicles rather than just a row of hand sinks. The water was always hot and showers a good temperature with push button control. The site is in a good position to access the South West coast path, we walked in to Brixham via Berry Head, not too strenuous with good views. A steady uphill walk back to the campsite from Brixham took us about 25mins, not too steep but there are buses running quite regularly if needed. We also walked to St Mary's Bay, 111 steps down and a more difficult 111 steps back up! This is a sheltered bay, sand and pebble so if going in the sea maybe use beach shoes but the weather wasn't good enough for that while we were there.

 After 27 years back to Upton Manor Farm. The most warmest welcome awaited us. The long journey from Holland to Brixham makes you tired and feeling welcome makes you a happy camper. The campsite is very nice and the amenities are perfect and spotless. On the campsite are enough watertaps and electricity hookups. We were given all the information we needed. About the nice towns to visit: Dartmouth, take the steamtrain from Churston; Totnes, beautiful little town with nice shops. Brixham is a nice old beautiful little harbourtown. Nice to walk around and good places to eat.

Upton Manor Farm is close to St Mary's beach. Walk down to the towncentre in 10 minutes, up again a bit longer. You can make very nice walks starting from the campsites. We had a very good time walking in this environment.

All with all is this the best campsite to stay. Especially with such a good and professional team.

Thanks for your hospitality and we will be back again.

 Our second visit to Upton Manor and we were not disappointed. We thoroughly enjoy our visits here and were lucky enough to be here for Brixfest. The facilities are excellent as usual and we loved our nightly walk into Brixham town. Staff are always very helpful and friendly lending us tools when we needed them. The site is an excellent place to explore different places and the public transport links are excellent from Brixham town centre. We loved it and will be going back again.

Reviewer: June Watson 1 review from this member

 If what you are looking for when visiting Brixham and the surrounding area is an immaculate site, overlooked by countryside and hills, peaceful, lovely walks, a five or six minute walk to the beach, and a very warm welcome by the wardens (and nothing is too much trouble for them), then Upton Manor is perfect. We have been visiting the site for 7 years or more now and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in the area. You will find that quite a few people staying there are regulars who return year after year. The showers and toilets are always spotlessly clean. The site also has laundry facilities complete with ironing boards, washing up facilities, in fact everything you need. It takes about 20 minutes to walk into Brixham and a bit longer coming back as it's mostly uphill!. We would have no hesitation in recommending this site - oh, and the prices are reasonable too and worth every penny!

 Having just returned from Upton Manor Farm and the delight that is Brixham.

The site directions are spot on. Follow them not your sat nav.

A warm welcome awaits you there.

Check in was good and professional. The site was quiet and though we had picked a hedge pitch we had our choice of them. Facilities are clean and well maintained.

Well situated for Brixham. 20 min walk about 1 mile. A steady downhill walk

Good bus services to Kingswear, Paignton and Totnes. Caught the ferry to Torquay. Only a pound each way. Bargain.

Lots of places to eat and drink in Brixham. The Prince William gets the best of the afternoon sun.

The coastal path around Berry Head to Brixham is a nice steady walk. 3 miles.

All in all a good visit and site.

 We booked this site for the brixham pirate festival

Very friendly on checking in, camp site was well run the facilities were very clean and well maintained, very easy to find thanks to the details provided, about a twenty min walk to the town, a bit more coming back because of the hill, pubs and restaurants in town, mobile pizza van comes to site cant wait for next year, ( a little less rain and wind please)

Reviewer: Felicity73 15 reviews from this member

 Just back from visiting the Pirate Weekend in Brixham staying at Upton Manor campsite. This must be our fourth visit to this site and little has changed. It was of course busy this weekend and it would have been helpful for everyone if the pitches were marked out better. There were tents rammed up against caravans and motor homes. We luckily had a hedge pitch ( a little more expensive) this means there was lots of room around us, only downside was that we had the second only water tap on our pitch!

Good thing about the site is that it is only a walk into Brixham. A good uphill walk back to the site though but inexpensive taxis from town. We had a lovely walk along to Sharkham point, only 15 minutes from the campsite.

Decent clean toilets and showers too but we used the shower on board our motor home as when the campsites busy there's bit of a wait.

Just feel that with a little money spent on hardstanding and demarcated pitches this could be an excellent site instead of an average one. I'm sure we will return again just for convenience sake

Reviewer: Fredinstead 1 review from this member

 Hi, I tend to read peoples reviews so guess I should write also. Just had really nice stay at this site. Very friendly and helpful owners. And nice clean well looked after site. Showers and toilets cannot really fault. Nice hot water and again clean and maintained. Easy walk into town but uphill to walk back. But bus or taxi easy options. Would visit again and recommend to friends and family. Ok just few problems. Nothing to do with site but Sat Nav did send me everywhere before finally finding it. So should have paid heed to directions instead of the wonderful world of technology. And roads in to Newton abbot a nightmare due to new roads being constructed. Wish had looked at other routes. All in all nice place though give it a try :)

 My partner and I love Brixham so were really looking forward to our stay. This is a very well maintained site with excellent facilities, always spotless showers and toilets. Disappointingly on one night of our stay a family staying in a tent opposite us experienced noise and verbal abuse from 3 large groups in tents next to theirs (we witnessed this abuse). Informing us the owners of the site had said they had paid there money so there wasn't anything they can do. Shame really as although their website says no groups of young people it seems to allow groups of rowdy large families.

A suggestion if you do walk to Brixham from the site, take your car half way down the hill where you can park for free as the hill is a killer going back up.

 We stayed here in August and had a wonderful time. The owners of the site a very very friendly and helpful and assisted us with all questions we asked mainly to do with public transport. The shower block was lovely and clean and warm and the site itself was spotless. We took a walk into St Mary's town where there is a lovely park, shops and takeaways all within a 5 minute walk and it took about 20 minutes to walk to Brixham which is a gorgeous little town. Bus routes from Brixham are excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are going back next year.

Reviewer: Felicity73 15 reviews from this member

 After vacating Scotland after Hurricane Bertha we arrived at this camp site. We had a warm welcome and we were shown to our pitch. Rather small but the campsite was not too busy so it was fine. Even after a lot of rain the pitch was good which was a plus as basically sited in a field. Easy downhill walk to Brixham town. Rather tiring coming home but a good bus service operates until five and taxis are reasonable. Also short walk to St Marys bay. Toilet, shower blocks adequate.

We will visit again. A lovely restful spot after a not so good start to our holiday
