Liked: When we arrived the staff in reception were very polite and helpful, they had seen we had booked two pitches at different times and put us together which was extremely kind, we had a great stay the site was clean and welcoming, pitch sizes were large. We had a lovely stay.
Disliked: The only thing that could have made it made it better was to have an extra hook in the showers and a seat.

Liked: The on site shop , bar and restaurant was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also the private cove was very picturesque and was only a five minute walk away. The location of the site is well placed to visit nearby combe Martin , only about 15 mins walk away . Although we didn't use the busses , they stop outside the main entrance if you want to travel further without your car/camper .
Disliked: The camping pitches are uneven and placed adjacent to the car park. This meant there was constant noise from people using their cars . The toilet facilities and showers were relatively clean but basic . The water in the shower was , after a long wait quite hot meaning you were unable to stay under it to long . The water coming from the wash basins never got hot and was of such a high power that you ended up splashed with water. We didn't realise there was a wash area for our crockery until we saw an open door as it had no sign on it. We would not recommend this site for touring/camping. In our opinion it's just a spare piece of grass with room for about 5 pitches . We also felt that it wasn't very secure when going out for the day as obviously you can't lock an awning and as stated before this area is basically in a car park and very close to the main gate and busy main road.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to review your recent stay. We appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the on-site shop, bar, and restaurant, as well as our friendly and helpful staff. We are pleased that you found our private cove picturesque and that the location was convenient for exploring nearby Combe Martin. We do, however, regret to hear that your camping experience did not meet your expectations. We are continuously working to improve our facilities, and your comments about the noise, toilet facilities, showers, and wash areas will certainly be taken into consideration as we strive for a better experience for our guests. We apologise for any confusion regarding the wash area for crockery; we will make sure to address the signage issues to ensure it is more visible for future guests. We are sorry to hear that you won't be returning. Best wishes, John Fowler Holidays

Liked: This place was amazing, shower/toilet block clean well stocked with toilet roll, only 1 min walk from tent pitch. The club house with entertainment even though it's out of season. Nice clean outdoor pool. Site shop really good prices and lots of verity. All staff really polite and even more helpful. The food at chefs corner was really nice aswell.

Liked: Liked the evening entertainment for the little kids and the soft play. The little Mermaid cove gave plenty of fun for little and big kids. Facilities weren’t spotless but were definitely passable. Loved the hot water in the showers once you got them going a while
Disliked: Need to have a designated space for ball games. Had lots of kids on the tent pitches coming and kicking footballs or playing cricket which kept hitting our tent. Had to eventually tell kids to move away but got ignored plenty of times.

Liked: The pitch size was very generous. More than enough room for our tent plus room for the kids to play outside. Entertainment venue was clean and well looked after, food was delicious. We ate in there for every meal aside from breakfast. Soft play and amusements being open until late was a great addition and well used to burn off any end of the day energy before bed. Will definitely be returning.
Disliked: Our only dislike was that the outdoor pool, which was supposed to be heated, was freezing cold
