Liked: Very clean well kept toilets and showers, and the honesty shop was a wonderful little touch which we used on a couple of occasions. Views spectacular and very peaceful site. Kids play area a lovely thing to have for the little ones. Some goats on site to say hello to!
Disliked: Site on a steep hill limiting pitches, and road to get to site treacherous on a motorcycle so be careful all you bikers out there! Host sadly didn't chek in with us at all during our stay so had to find the amenities by ourselves.

From the manager: Absolutely! Here's a more light-hearted response with the additional details: Thank you for your review and for highlighting our superstar amenities and serene views! It's always great to hear that our toilets are clean, the honesty shop is well-appreciated, and the kids (and goats) are happy. We hear you about the hill—it does indeed require a bit of a climb! Our campsite's location offers those unbeatable views, but it also means a workout for your vehicle. For all the daring bikers, consider it a part of the adventure—like a rollercoaster, but with more goats and less screaming. Just last weekend, we had three bikers who've become regulars; they assure us that the road becomes friendlier with each visit! We understand that our Harry Potter-style disappearing host act might not be everyone’s cup of tea. As a cozy rural site, we don’t have the manpower for a manned reception, much as we’d love to greet each camper with a high-five or a secret handshake. We strive to provide all the necessary info digitally to make your stay smooth, but we'll definitely brainstorm ways to add more personal touches without resorting to cloning technology. Thanks again for your feedback! We hope to welcome you back soon—hill, goats, and all. Much love Kate
Great location, clean facilities and friendly staff

Liked: Friendly owners, good site with views across the valley. Owners were nice and welcoming. Site is a little hilly so be careful where you pitch. 2 standalone toilet sheds and 2 other toilet rooms with showers also. Showers were clean and tidy. Hot water in the washing up shed wasn’t working for 2 of the days, which turned back on again after this. Small honesty shop is useful as well as communal fridge/freezer. Local pub only 2 min walk away and can use owners drive to walk down and access. Pub food is brilliant. Got breakfast served on sat/sun mornings for £7.50 which was well worth it and tasty.
Disliked: Site was very busy on Saturday morning so chose not to use them. The site could do with a couple of extra showers.

Liked: Had a fantastic stay at Hennock Hideaways, such a beautiful spot and so peaceful! The stars were amazing and facilities everything we needed. Loved the fire pits, a great little addition that makes it so cosy up there! Incredible views and a lovely spot to spend the day relaxing too. Will definitely be back, we only live 30 mins away so an easy, simple spot to camp when we fancy a change.

Liked: Small but perfectly formed. The views across the moors are breathtaking. The facilities are really well thought out. The addition of a kettle (and microwave, communal fridge and freezer) within the honesty shop is genius. It means you have your morning coffee within a few minutes rather than waiting all that time for your kettle to boil. There are two showers but they are more like bathrooms. A wonderful honesty shop that has the added bonus of being able to pay online and is so reasonably priced. On a weekend, breakfasts and evening take away are available. I highly recommend this wonderful place and we’ll definitely be back.

Liked: Amazing views, good play areas, use of fridge/freezer, honesty shop and charging lockers a bonus! Free fire pit. Delicious breakfast rolls.
Disliked: Very narrow roads. Need more showers and loos especially when site is busy, both a little tired and showers can be a little temperamental!! Very busy and noisy the evening before we left with too many people camping very close to other campers and driving much too fast on site. Having to take landfill rubbish home!! Didn't see owners to say hello during our stay.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback - Im afraid the roads across the countryside of Devo are narrow, if you follow the directions, that brings you to us the easiest way. Google has a habit of directing everyone to the worst roads. We had a very busy bank holiday so our showers and loos were busy. We have capped numbers now to ensure our facilities our enough. We re-vamp every year and end of August is nearing the end of season so things can get tired, but we do check and clean daily and fix ASAP where required. We don't ask anyone to take rubbish home. we have recycling bins for every type of rubbish and a bin for nappies and doggie matters which goes to landfill. Food, plastics, paper , cardboard, cans and glass can all be recycled here. We don't accept broken camping equipment though, which is what our signs refer to and explain. "Love not landfill" Sorry we didn't see you, although I'm not sure how as we cook the breakfasts, clean the loos, live here and clean and check all facilities every day! Bank holidays do bring another type of visitor which don't always follow the rules, we do have a max 5mph on site. We also require campers to camp 6 metres apart. For £10 per night, we believe we provide an awesome space, vibe and site, with amazing views and lots we don't charge for.
Highly recommend. Children loved it as they could play freely with other…

Liked: Highly recommend. Children loved it as they could play freely with other children camping. The view is breathtaking and can pitch anywhere in the field. Highlight was the communal fridge and freezer and could recharge phone for the next day trip. They also had a honesty shop open 24hr. You can pay online. That was very clever and easy. The camp was so central, easy access to Exmouth Beach and the national park. The first time going up the country lanes uphill was a little scary but once you do it everyday, you get use to it and get to know which roads are wider. Did not put me off.We will come back..
Disliked: Nothing.
