Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great place to stay if you are around the Honiton area
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We stayed in the 'over flow' off grid section at the far end of the campsite. There were 4 vans and a tent in the field with us with plenty of room. The toilets and showers were clean and easily accessible from where we stayed. We arrived a little later than planned but enjoyed a drink at the bar and breakfast in the morning.
We really enjoyed the stay.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything! The views and site itself were stunning, kids can explore in a huge space. Pitches were very spacious- and flat!
Showers were beautifully clean, and maintained. The shower cubicles had everything you need in there, like a little en suite at home.
Supplies wise, Everything is local enough to pop out, and the beaches are just down the road.
Oh! And breakfast baps available in the morning with a lovely coffee! 😍
Disliked Nothing!

Disliked Shower rooms too small for families.
