Electric grass and gravel touring caravan pitch
Liked: This is our 2nd stay . The shower block is really clean.plenty of hot water. Fabulous access to the Tarka trial. Good level pitches. The owners increased the hard standing because of the amount of rain we have had and the sodden ground condition. Lovely couple who run it.
Disliked: Didn't dislike anything but the other half said a kitchenette area would make it extra special. Handy to have a microwave and food prep area as some visitors have just a tent because they are travelling the coast and would give them a chance of a hot meal.BUT we loved this site.

Liked: Everything. The shower block was fabulous which is important to us. The location to the Tarka Trail is very close. We have a dog so the walk around the site was really good for us. I would stay there again without a second thought.
Disliked: I didn't dislike anything,, But ,,I shelf in the shower to put our toiletries on would be nice bit such a minor thing seems picking to even mention being honest.
