We have visited this campsite several times and always received the same friendly welcome. The staff are very helpful and will go out of their way to make your stay a happy one.
The pitches are cleverly arranged into four areas which are terraced and therefore lends itself to some lovely views over the countryside.
The utility blocks have recently been refurbished with walk in type showers with plenty of hot water. These facilities are always kept spotlessly clean.
There is a small shop and a cafe which serves reasonably priced tasty meals to eat In or take-away. There is also a bar with entertainment every night, ranging from bingo, karaoke and some very good singers and comedians. Being an adult only site means you have the best of both worlds. Relaxing peaceful days and wonderful entertainment at the bar in the evening.
Finally it's very easy to get to without having to drive through narrow lanes and it's also close to many interesting places to visit such as Paignton, Torquay, Brixhm, Totnes and much more.
I would not hesitate to recommend this site to anyone visiting the south west.
We have just spent 3 nights here on our way back from Cornwall. The site is easy to access, staff are friendly. The site itself is tired, the pitches are cinder type surface which walks into your outfit. The pitches are reasonable size but lined up and facing into the person opposites window. The pitches are steep terraces so not a very attractive outlook. We had a serviced pitch which had a water tap and drain on, however next to our pitch was a toilet surrounded by a wooden fence which was the chemical toilet emptying not the prettiest of scenes! The back of our pitch was a motorway crash barrier! That ran the full length of the pitches. Toilet block was immaculate very spacious cubicles and spotlessly clean. Poppys restaurant was brilliant the food was 5 star, very well priced and delicious good menu and wine. The club/pub is dated has a horrid black ceiling with millions of white fairy lights in it and Xmas lights and holly on the bar in June???? The pub is not dog friendly entertainment takes priority over everything else.
Just returned after another lovely week here. The staff are so friendly and kind, always chat and will go out of their way to help if needed. The facilities are probably the best we have had to use, so clean. The site has very easy access and is a good base for touring south Devon. The clubhouse was open every evening with a variety of entertainment. There is a small shop that sells essentials and a small restaurant, we did have breakfast one morning, was really good. There is also a mobile chip van on a Tuesday, they were nice too. Will definitely return.
Large friendly site, first time staying on an adults only site. We just needed a stop over for one night, here are our thoughts.
Good points:
- very clean facilities
- reception very helpful and informative
- great service and a friendly chat with the cafe staff
- people friendly and chatty, even to us one night stoppers
- good access to nearby tourist areas
Not so good:
- price, expensive at £27 for one night
- unless the on site bar is for you its a drive in a car for anything else
- the main road noise never stops
- some site rules are a little weird, eg no rotary washing lines (even though the wardens clearly had them), and strictly no underwear to be displayed.
All in all it did us a turn, but prob not somewhere we would choose to visit again - only because we'd prefer the option to cycle/walk from - but for a one night stop was just fine for us.
Stayed here for a week, well informed welcome when we arrived, very easy to get to; no small village roads. The site is sloping and had good, level pitches on terraced sections. At night there is little lighting of the roads and stairs, so torches are a good idea. There is a small carpark near reception and the main toilet block and I saw many older people driving rather than walking. There is a café/restaurant that serves breakfast and meals. There's a pub which has nightly entertainment such as karaoke and singers come along. The last night we had bingo and a raffle. The prizes were on the table and you could pick whatever one you wanted. We bought our tickets the night before, we noticed that all the new people who bought tickets on the night, had their numbers come up, so buy your tickets on the night of the raffle! Also saw a worker win a prize, that shouldn't be allowed.
There are 3 toilet blocks, on the left on the hill was a small shower and toilet block, the main big one next to reception had several toilets, showers and laundry and another toilet block on the lower right had just two toilets each. The cleaning team do a good job of keeping everything clean, they are always in and out which is a bit uncomfortable sometimes. Some people mention traffic noise, but we really didn't have a problem with it, all we heard was someone shooting occasionally.
The park has a good dog policy; no aggressive breeds, and most importantly; no children! Absolutely brilliant, so peaceful.
While here we went to Babbacombe Minature Village, Bygones Museum, and in Torquay; Amusements and mini golf, Living Coasts 'zoo' where you can walk in the penguin and seabird enclosure. In Paignton we also did mini golf, amusements on the pier and the Zoo. The Zoo was very busy and has a lot of walking, if you're game, get there early and avoid the mums and prams brigade and you also may be able to park close to the entrance. Cockington thatched village is also worth a look. We also drove to Brixham, took the 5 minute ferry across to Dartmouth and then onto Totnes and finally Haytor Rocks in Dartmoor. Our sat nav actually took us from Haytor and back to Widdicombe farm via all farm lanes, we didn't go onto a main road once.
First do read the directions section the Sat Nav will create huge problems for larger units. The sites own directions are simple and fool proof.
Road noise has been mentioned several times, the A380 is on the top of the hill on the other side of the valley. Yes you could hear the traffic but it never kept us awake. If you want ultimate peace and quiet there are plenty of suitable sites out there.
We were at the top of Apple Blossom field which meant we never used the main facilities block. The smaller one near us presented no problems. No lack of hot water, always clean. Only one male shower, two unisex are available, but I only waited once.
The reception staff I dealt with were friendly and helpful.
The pitches we were on are a double width hard standing with a single width grass area along side. A normal car with normal caravan and average awning with have a bit of room to spare. The terraced nature of the site means the pitches are mostly arranged in straight rows which can feel a little regimented.
We did not sample the entertainment or the restaurant.
The Nippy Chippy van cancelled when we were there, a sign on the entry road would have been nice as we did not go via reception to reach Apple Blossom field. We fancied fish and chips so drove down to Torquay town, can recommend the Blue Anchor chip shop, huge portions.
Loved visiting the Al La Ronde a unique hexagon shaped National Trust property set on a hill above Exmouth. Had cream tea on the lawn overlooking the river estuary.
The site was fine the staff very friendly and the facilities were as to be expected. We did however object most strongly to having to pay £5 for two friends to visit us on the site for one and a half hours, because they wanted to see our camper-van. I know that it is an adult only site and understand that this may be necessary as it is a working farm but it is a shame that our grandchildren couldn't visit us.
Easily accessed campsite off the ring road - which was the reason we chose it - beautiful location - stunning views from some of the higher pitches -pitches are tiered and unfortunately we were put in the lower tier which was exceptionally tricky to get down into, our tow-bar gouged a path down and it was really tricky to get back up the slope again when we left - but apart from that the facilities are lovely, the team who take care of the site are lovely and the toilets are so well kept - the hay-loft bar was nice for an evening drink and there was nightly entertainment -my only gripe was the late opening time of 8pm - there is a cafe on site which was marvellous - open for food all day - great breakfasts, dinners etc - we loved the walk down into Marldon village - 2 very good pubs there, found the bus service locally to be very poor - went into Brixham by bus and it took an hour and a half - buses so crowded and dogs were payable, unlike Cornwall and Dorset- all in all a lovely site, would return but on a different pitch
I just didn’t click with this site and in hindsight I wish I’d stayed somewhere else. Firstly one has to mention the elephant in the room that is the noise from the road, it is quite horrendous and starts early and finishes late.
Also talking loud noises, it was right at the start of the season and you expect some work to be going on, unfortunately I was placed on a pitch next to an area of constant tree cutting starting about 9am and continuing all day. Oh well, at least that drowned out the noise from the road.
I like to park my van and then rely on public transport or good old shank’s pony, this site isn’t great for that, the nearest bus being a good mile away and the local footpaths could be confused with the local tip as there was so much flytipping.
On the plus side the facilities were good, clean, kept warm and the shower cubicles were massive. Also everyone I met on site was very friendly.
If the site was located better I would be consider staying there again, but Torquay, Paignton and Brixham did not really do it for me with parts just being too run down to be classed at tourist destination, although Totnes is a real gem.
Me my wife and frank the dog stayed on the clover pitches in july. On arrival we had car trouble which the car dumped all of its oil and the staff were very understanding and helpful. Thanks to the AA too.
its a large site which is cleverly divided into little offshoots which run off the road which goes through the entire site. Its a very peaceful site with lovely views over the countryside (depending which part of the site youre on. ) torquay and Paignton are only a couple or so miles away with various supermarkets for supplies. There is a small shop on site which stocks most of the essentials. The very picturesque town of brixham is well worth a visit too.
The toilets/showers are quiete spacious and are kept to a very high standard of cleanliness. They do have a bar/clubhouse on site which only opens at 8pm every night which seemed to have a varied selection of entertainment on most nights. It also has a large dog walk that is regularly mowed so you can let your dogs off for some excersize too. We have already booked the same site and pitch for next year.
Forgot to mention out daughter and her boyfriend came too but stayed in a tent in the well presented camping field. A big thumbs up from them too.
Our first visit to this site I will put the good points first the large toilet block is second to none and nothing has been spared to make it clean and well laid out very impressed even the small one is clean and as a privacy cubicle. The staff were very friendly and helpful and last but not least the club house, its only small but we enjoyed our two evenings there first night a male singer he was good and second night bingo which we had not played for years and was fun. The things that we were a little disappointed with were the shop which opened odd hours but only really stocked the necessities but you could order papers for next day the small café/restaurant we did not use so cannot comment a fish and chip van comes one night again did not use, but I was uncomfortable with pitch sizes and felt we were all tucked in and could see into every ones windows. Overhall a good site for a couple days being an adult only but you do need a car or good legs for walk to bus stops
Had a lovely stay here. Staff very friendly and helpful. They put us next to the dog exercise area, we have two boarder collies, which was very helpful. Toilet and shower block were the best I have seen very modern and clean. They had entertainment every night at their pub, three nights in a week is bingo. We had sunday dinner in the Poppies restaurant, which was very good. Shop is well stocked. The only down side was the noisy traffic as it is by A330, rooster who my partner thinks started at three in the morning then kept going, sea gulls felt they had to join in and then other birds. So bring ear plugs, or drink lots at the pub the night before. It was very handy to get to places and we could walk to Compton castle National Trust. Nice size pitches too, in flat ground all very clean.
This is a really lovely site, it is on a hill side and laid out in terraces so it is hilly which gives a big bonus of good size pitches which are not invaded by people walking through them. The facilities are equal to any Caravan Club site we have been on and were spotless while we were there. One addition which would be very useful would be a drive over motor home waste point, other than that a nice site we would certainly return to.
My husband and I spent 8 nights here during a visit to Devon. The staff were so helpful when we booked as we kept changing our minds about what dates and pitch we wanted and they were able to shuffle things around for us to give us exactly what we wanted. We ended up with an amazing pitch right at the top of the site with stunning views over the countryside. The main toilet block was spotlessly clean with lots of showers, loos and wash stations. There where also smaller toilet blocks on the site, and while smaller and not as posh as the main one they are still perfectly acceptable. The Hayloft Bar was also fine for a few evening drinks and provided some form of entertainment every night including live singer, karaoke, comedy act and bingo (damn you number 54, I could have been £90 richer)!
The traffic noise from the dual carriage way by pass can be heard at night depending on wind direction - take ear plugs if you think tis will bother you like we did.
Poppies restaurant is a separate business but I thought I'd give it a mention anyway. We had Sunday dinner there which was lovely and two evening meals. On our last night we decided to eat there again but our meals took 55 minutes to arrive. We had apologies from the waiter but to us 9pm to start our meal was a bit late. The restaurant is only small and was not even half full so there didn't seem to be a reasonable explanation for this. However I can't fault the food.
This site will be one that I will be returning to, Staff are friendly and nothing to much trouble. Toilet and shower blocks are immaculate hot water and seats to sit on. Site is kept in tip top condition. Small shop with just about all you need, a bar which depending on time of the season has entertainment and a café /restaurant which we didn't get the opportunity to use but was busy when we passed by it. Pitches were a decent size and we were not on top of each other. If I had any negatives it would be paying for Wi-Fi and the go-cart track across the road which interrupts the quite peaceful site. All in a great site at a great price.
