Fully-serviced grass and gravel pitch
Liked: Stayed on one of the gravel fully serviced pitches. Plenty of space and well maintained. The staff were helpful and very friendly and the facilities were of a high quality and cleaned regularly. There's a small bar on site and a swimming pool that looked lovely but not open yet. Plenty of walking areas for dogs on site with wooded paths, ponds and an area for dogs to run and play off lead, with an onsite doggy wash for those muddy pets. There's also direct access to the tarka trail.
A short drive to Barnstaple, Bideford and Great Torrington.
All in all an excellent site and I've already booked my next stay.
I would highly recommend it.
Disliked: Nothing it was great
