From the manager: We have some fun in the bar and i'm glad you would highly recommend it to others. Thank you. Sorry you experienced difficulty getting onto the wifi I will speak to the provider to see if they were aware of any issues.

Liked Lovely clean site. Staff very welcoming. Toilets & showers were emasculate. Very peaceful. Gordon’s bar was good & drinks prices were reasonable. Food looked lovely. Mini bus into Torquay was excellent door to door service. Will defiantly be going back.

From the manager: Again a lovely review form guests who have had a good time - particularly in the bar. It is fun and as we say 'It is what you make it' so obviously you were up for a good time here and you did enjoy yourselves. I will make sure everyone knows that you have noted the cleanliness of the facilities as they do work hard to keep everything nice and tidy for you. Lovely pictures too.

Liked Facilities where excellent, good farm shop. Nice field to walk the dogs.

Disliked Can't walk anywhere. Never tried the cafe so can't comment on that. We were on O2 and we had no signal if you wanted WiFi you had to pay extra. We prefer an afternoon drink but the bar did not open until 7.30pm.

From the manager: It's a shame our location didn't suit you. I am on O2 and don't find a problem getting a signal but I know it can depend on individual phone models. I'll find out which pitch you were on and go up to test the signal strength to check it out though as it may be a weak spot. We don't open the bar during the day as it has never proved worth while. Most people are out and about so do not need that particular facility during the day.

Liked Easy to find,good farm shop on site.Close to all attractions

Disliked Pitches were open with little privacy.

From the manager: Hopefully you had a good look around whilst here so that you know which areas would suit you best on your next visit.

Liked Nice clean and quiet site. Poppy's resturant was good. Didn't go in Gordon's bar so can't comment.

Disliked Nothing apart from having to pay extra for wifi.

From the manager: Thank you for saying that you've had a good time here. Perhaps next time you'll come into the bar and enjoy some of the fabulous entertainment on offer.

Liked Clubhouse really good. Good entertainment and venue.
Hot showers and they are proper showers not push button.
Nice staff on reception who are helpful and welcoming.
Lovely food in Poppies.

Disliked The site is looking tired and the pitches are looking scruffy.
The showers (bluebell field) were not that clean.
Dogs in the clubhouse should just not be allowed. There is no need to bring them in there. It's bad enough listening to them barking on pitches!
Thankfully Poppies has 2 separate areas for dogs and without!

From the manager: Thank you for saying so many nice things about your experience here. I'm afraid it's been very hard maintaining a lovely look on the park when the grass is all dried up and even some of the trees are changing colour already. Hopefully, on your next visit it will all be lush and green again looking nice and tidy as usual. Regarding dogs in the bar, well, we too have an exclusive dog friendly area designated for those that want to bring their well behaved dogs in the bar with them. We also say no furry friends in the bar on entertainment nights so we are trying to meet everyone's needs but we know we are not going to be able to please everyone on this matter. Sorry if you had an issue on this occasion.

Liked Cleanliness. Premium views for premium. Farm shop stocked with local produce. Local village pub Sunday lunch best ever had. Friendly staff.

Disliked Traffic noise from dual carriageway. No WiFi.

From the manager: We're glad you enjoyed the views and your stay here in general. The wifi issue you had will be forwarded to the third party provider of this service so that they can review their service. We hope you will visit again as we have so much to offer.

Facilities
Quiet site no kids

Disliked Very loud road noise
Standard pitch tight to maneuver really need a motor mover
False information from site warden about all bbq banned by government Inc gas ones! Site rules may be, but don't tell us nonsense that's not fact.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: You are incorrect when you talk about us giving you false information regarding a government ban on BBQ's. We did not state this on our information to guests. We simply said that following advice given by the Caravan & Motorhome Club to members on fire hazards during the heatwave period, we asked guests not to use live flame equipment outside or BBQ's as this posed a significant fire risk during the extreme heatwave conditions. We appreciate that cooking outside is a huge part of the fun and experience of camping/caravanning and you may have missed out on that. However, safety of all our guests, staff and the fact we are surrounded by tinder dry farmland meant we took a measured approach minimising the risk to all.

Liked Absolutely love staying here. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely welcome to guest's and dogs who get a little doggie welcome pack (nice touch.)
Great showers no push buttons which is great ( very clean ). Entertainment and games in Gordon's bar almost every night. Lovely food at poppies also take aways available some nights.
Nice size pitches with electric hook up, if you have one of the top pitches there's a lovely view. Most importantly for us a dog field, almost forgot the little fram shop which wasn't there the first time we came which sells lovely fresh veg etc and doggie ice cream.
All in all another brilliant stay.

Disliked Nothing
