Date of Visit: June 2008 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Smet47 2 reviews from this member

 We updated our tent for a better model and had some friends who were first time campers with a new tent, so we all decided to nip somewhere close to home for the night and try the tents out. We checked this website out first (as we always do)for reviews of sites in our area and found Pennymoor. A really lovely site!we pitched our tents together in the bottom corner, near the bottom toilet block. Only a small site, but 2 toilet/shower blocks. They were absolutely spotless! we didn't bring food but at reception they had take-away menus for Modbury places that delivered to the site so we got some curries delivered. The kids had fish and chips from the site cafe. Nice hot water available to wash up.Modbury is only 5 mins drive away and has some nice shops, pubs etc.

The kids enjoyed the small play area.

After pitching, we discovered there was another ajoining field below us which was almost deserted and looked lovely, next time we will pitch in that part.

Had a slight problem with music playing late at night but it seemed to be coming from the campsite next door.

We didn't use the showers as we were so close to home that we went home grungy and then had showers!

Would definitely visit this site again!

 Rained all weekend, but we never let that stop us, had a great time on a lovely site with spotless and spacious showers and loos. The shop had everything that we needed. The play park was a hit with all the kids on the site.
Kingsbridge is just up the road with a good range of shops, bigbury has a lovely beach we will most definatly be going back.

Reviewer: Peterlymn 15 reviews from this member

 Another year and another great visit to Pennymoor. Forgive another review but I am a firm believer in up to date information and making sure people know if anything has changed.

With Pennymoor the simple answer is - NO! The welcome is still the friendliest we have ever come across, the toilets and showers are still spotless and lovingly cared for, the hot water is free and plentiful, the shop - 'Bits and Bites' is small but beautifully formed, and the kids have come away with numerous new friends again thanks to the safe and simple playground.

The weather was not kind but who cares when you can enjoy the delights of the south Devon coast, a great site and at least once a week the site shop extending its repertoire (via Cafe Martin) to include home cooked fish and chips!

Reviewer: Benthedrum 5 reviews from this member

 This is without a doubt one of the best campsites we have ever visited. Firstly, the staff were very kind and extremely helpful ready to give out information about what to do and where to go in the surrounding area. They will even charge up your mobile phone in the shop.

The shop is packed full of everything you could possibly want to buy and the products aren't overpriced. They sell Cornish pasties and other fresh baked goodies such as croissants and iced buns also.

The toilets provided were the best we have ever seen at a campsite as they were clean, modern and well looked after. A cleaner went around all of the toilet blocks at 11am every morning to clean and there was never a queue!

The park was a big hit with most of the children on the campsite congregating there and meeting new friends.

The dog walk was also very good with access to open fields, streams and a woodland. Be warned though, it does get muddy.

The only downside of this campsite that we can think of is the ground it is based on. Although it was good when dry during our holiday it rained quite heavily and frequently causing some areas to become like marsh land. Overall though an excellent campsite, great staff and a perfect base to visit the wonderful surrounding area.

Reviewer: Rapidoorline 1 review from this member

 Keep this one quiet. It is a little GEM.

The site is lovely, with a great little shop, play area for the children. Very clean toilets and showers, always hot and nicely kept.

Good location for beaches particularly Bigbury on Sea, and quite close to an organic farm shop.

The wardens were lovely and made us feel very welcome, nothing too much for them to help you. A lovely stretch of grass for dog owners.

We are rebooking to go back this year, it was so good.

All in all excellent value for money.

 Now our 4th visit in 3 years!
 
A wet weekend but can't complain as the welcome was as warm as ever, the shop still had yum-yums (highly recommended) and fish and chips from "Cafe Martin" on the Saturday night. What more could you ask for?
 
2 nights for a family of 4 in a large tent with electric hook up for £28 - bargain!

Reviewer: Peterlymn 15 reviews from this member

 Our third visit in three years and that should say a lot!
 
The warmest welcome, a great play park that kept the kids entertained for hours, close to Bigbury beach and the beautiful coast path.
 
Sloping pitches, yes, but they are big, well spread out and drain well as a result!
 
Fully recommended.

Reviewer: Sean+pauline 1 review from this member

 Excellent Site, Friendly owners and spotlessly clean. A little off the beaten track but not enough to keep us away, highly recommend to any one We travelled to this site after a few days in brean. The pitches were great, the children had hours of fun in the playground. 


Date of Visit: May 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Janners Hat 5 reviews from this member

 We booked this site as a weekend get away and found it to be good value. We pitched in the larger field with designated electrical hook up in a flat area but found that quite a lot of that field was very sloped and the owners allowed tents to pitch anywhere. There was also a limited policy on "quiet" after 11:00 - although it would have been better if this had been enforced. We also found the shower block could have done with being cleaner. The children enjoyed the play park and the shop offered some good local produce at reasonable rates. The location of the site is excellent for the beaches in South Devon (Bigbury was a favourite) and the owners recommended some good local pubs.

Reviewer: Cubleyp 3 reviews from this member

 We're just back from our Easter break at Pennymoor. What can I say - EXCELLENT! The site is perfect - reasonably priced (£46 for 5 nights with electric), good size pitches, lovely shower block and amenities, very friendly owners. I think the only downside is that the showers are push button (thankfully the button is inside the cubicle) and you have to keep pressing it as the water does not stay on for long - it does get frustrating but not enough to keep us away.

If you visit this site you will not be disappointed.
