Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Janjamie 5 reviews from this member

 A lovely site, Seems to be split into 3 sections, a small electric field on the right of the Reception with 4 rows which is where we stayed and two fields either side of the lake which were busier.  The staff we helpful and the toilets and showers clean although the showers were very hot but free!
 
The play area was good for children under 7 and the bar was small and friendly.  The road to the site was a nightmare, small bendy and hilly - BEWARE.  I would recommend this site, nice and quite.  You must go to The Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and the Big Sheep.  The Tunnels Beach is a must, worth paying for and fantastic for kids.  Woolacombe beach was packed and full of surfers.

Reviewer: M+jcummins 4 reviews from this member

 Hi myself my wife and friends visited this site for a week in August and had a very relaxing time The fishing was good although at times a bit busy (but it was peak season ) The shop had all your basic needs. Food in the restaurant was excellent and keenly priced  and clean as was the bar. The staff were jolly and helpful. Overall the campsite was good and pitch prices reasonable. The shower block could do with a revamp but dont let that put you off. We used local transport using day tickets £2.90 which we thought were good value to see all the sights. Bus stop ten mins walk. The bar was a bit quiet (my wife likes her karaoke) but we still had a good week and will visit again. Highly recommended and will tell all our friends

Reviewer: Hornetfish 1 review from this member

 This was our 4th year at Mill Park, we usually go out of season while our 7 year old is on 'Inset week' when it is a bit quiet with not many children about. This year we went  as a group of  3 families with a mix of tents and a caravan. We also had electric which is a first.
With the recent heavy rain, the site was understandably soggy but bales of straw were plentiful and the staff very helpful.
 
The showers/toilets have been smartened up and are cleaned twice a day. The old pub has been turned into a cafe and bar (very low key). The shop was well stocked with all the usual items.
The new owners seem to have the right idea and we enjoyed it so much we are planning to return for 2 weeks with the 2 other families next year. 


Date of Visit: July 2007 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Paulbambi 37 reviews from this member

 Arrived late afternoon to a lovely greeting from friendly helpful staff, when shown to our pitch we thought it was very small, all of the other caravans, tents, motorhomes were far too close together,  some seemed to have only a four foot between them! The pitch we were shown to was at the roadside in the main field which is not a problem noise wise, but it is certainly not level and had a slight incline and with the amount of mud at the site after a heavy downpour it was difficult to get onto our pitch, everyone was being towed on or pushed on by the staff with a tractor.  The staff were continuously bringing round bales of straw to try and dry the ground out a bit.  Because the pitches were so close no one could park their vehicles by the side of their units so it looked like a car  park with cars parked both sides of the road making access to our pitch difficult, because we did not have the swing to get onto our pitch.  On the good side the toilet blocks/showers were free and seemed clean at every visit, children have a great area to play and there are some well stocked course fishing pools. The site shop/pub/takeaway were all great and reasonably priced.  Watermouth cove is only a short walk away,  Berrynarbor is also a short walk up the lane and is a beautiful village, with little pot people everywhere! They have just won best kept village 2007 and you can see why. 
A word of warning do not go in a factory holiday or bank holiday,  I can imagine the site being very nice at a quieter time.  


Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Michaelrhys2 2 reviews from this member

 Narrow road up to site so beware for caravan users. Site could do with updating showers were ok along with toilets but more regular cleaning would not go amiss. Children play area basic with no safety covering on ground. All in all site not to bad but there are better in area for same prices

Reviewer: Bernie36 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a weeks stay. Agree with comments regarding facilities. The site itself is very pretty and quiet at night. Could do with the toilet and shower blocks updating and some more lighting around the site especially on the top field where all the tents are. Situated ideally in the middle of Ilfracombe and Coombe Martin. In easy driving of lots of attractive places to visit.

Reviewer: Zofo 8 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this campsite last minute for 3 nights on our way home from Cornwall.  We found it very pretty with the stream running through it and my husband enjoyed the fishing.  I think the toilet / shower block could do with some money spending there but they were ok.  Kids 5 plus would love the zip wire over the stream.  I didn't think the pitches were that big if you would be staying more than 1 week.

Reviewer: QuietPlease 6 reviews from this member

 Great position, quiet site with no noise at night, very pretty and sheltered. BUT I would echo the comments of others about the facilities - we were there in high season when even the 'smarter' loos and showers were simply not cleaned often enough. I actually complained about it (the first time I have ever done so) and the loos were spruced up a bit, but this should not be necessary. Out of high season, they would probably be adequate.
Watch out in the shop - they are not above flogging out of date goods! Some of the hook ups are also well past their best, and need tweaking to restore power. What a shame that there has been no money spent on the basics for years - with a position like this, they could have the best site in Devon.

Reviewer: 2000emilyrose 7 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from 4 nights on this site. I didn't book until 2 weeks before and was delighted that they could fit us in at short notice. I agree with other reviews - the toilet blocks could do with modernising, however the facilities were adequate, more frequent cleaning would improve their appeal.
The pitches were level, a good size and although the electric hook-up pitches are fairly close to the road the noise was minimal, we didn't find it a problem. Not much for older children to do however my youngest really enjoyed the rope swing across the stream.
I would use the site the site again if we were in the area.

Lovely site in very pretty setting which is close to most of the sites of interest in North Devon. We were in the furthest field which is nice and flat but quite noisy from road behind the trees.

Main downside for us was the very basic toilet block which was the worst we have experienced. Very tatty and not at all child friendly. You can use main toilet block but long way if kids are small like ours. Also dishwashing sinks were very close together.

All in all loved the site but not the toilets - we will return but to middle field which seems to have better facilities.

We have just returned from a very rainy week, but would recommend this site to anyone.

Surrounded by glorious trees, set in a valley near Berrynarbour this has to be one of the prettiest campsites around.

The main toilet block was clean and adequate. The site has a quiet bar with food service (eat in and take away)and there is a well stocked shop.

My children enjoyed walking around the small lake each morning feeding the ducks and watching the fisherman land a couple of decent sized carp.

It is close enough to major tourist attractions and just far enough off the major route to avoid traffic noise from the main road.

In the evenings we wandered up to The Old Globe in Berrynarbor for a pub meal. The food was good and plentyful, and the drink was superb.

This was our first camping trip and loved it. We were on extra field which if anything gives you a bit more freedom in pitching just find a space. Toilets and showers very basic but can walk up to toehrs if you want, free hot water all time. Shop and bar on site, kids loved rope over small stream and climbing frame. We'll be going back again no problems and we went on a busy weekend.

 August 2004
Good Points:
Nice flat site in seclude location and quiet even when full. Good shop, Bar/Resturant on site with family room and games room (not tested)
Bad Points:
Site facilities really stuggle when the site is full. Had to queue for toilets and showers (mens) on more than one occasion. Toilets were cleaned but got dirty fairly quickly. Sinks in the pot washing area are too close to each other and also had to queue.
Summary:
We stayed over the August bank holiday and beyond. When full the site struggles big time due to the lack of facilities compared to the number of pitches. When the vast majority of campers left on the Monday the site facilities were fine. Can get very boggy as it is in the bottom of a valley.

Surprised at the reaction of previous reviewers! Are we talking about the same site??
Probably the best value for money site we know. Found it by accident 4 years ago and have been back 3 times since then.
Ideally placed for touring North Devon & Exmore. Easy drive to Ilfracoomb & Barnstable. Easy access for caravan. Shop had everything we needed (even picked up a couple of bargains!) Good quality take-away food service. Friendly bar staff and pub prices.
I'll agree that the showers & toilets would benefit from a mid-day visit by the cleaner, but what facility wouldn't?
Main downer is the size of the pitches - too small.
Would we go back again? Of course we would.

We have visited this site on 3 occasions before and have always been impressed, although it does get busy in peak season. The middle field is the best, mostly because of the lake and stream. The pitches are also not far from the main block (2 mins walk if that) which has clean facilities and free showers- we saw a cleaner most mornings. The other shower block in the overflow field is very basic, it's worth walking to the main one.
The staff are friendly and seem to do everything, including running the bar/restaurant (recommended for basic and cheap meals if you don't want to travel) and the shop has everything you would need.
It was pretty quiet in May, just a few caravans, we were about the 2nd tent in the field when we arrived on a Friday for a weekend stay. The Globe pub up the road is a very busy and popular place, in the middle of Berrynarbor, there is a good choice of food. Overall we love Mill Park for its tranquil and peaceful atmosphere and will definitely go back again. Recommended.
