Positiv The kitchen facilities were fantastic. We wanted for nothing and found we didn’t use our own stuff. We enjoyed the communal fire pit and the gazebo with comfy chairs for lovely evening meals under cover. The loos were really clean. Tennis was fab! Very quiet and dog friendly. A great site and would stay again

Negativ The locks on the loos are way too high up. The children couldn’t reach to open the door or close them so even the ten year old couldn’t go to the loo independently. Could be easily solved to make easier for children.

Positiv That the cars weren’t parked next to the tents and that fires were permitted.

Negativ The access to the site and parking is very tight and you can only access the field when approaching it with it on the right. The main thing I didn’t like is that the long-drop toilets hadn’t been emptied (for what looked like many months) and the pile was within 10cm of the toilet seat. I’m a fan of long-drops usually but they do need to be maintained it’s not acceptable to let it pile so high without emptying it. The smell was also foul! Please also label whether water is drinkable or not as it wasn’t clear where we could fill up bottles. The final issue is that it’s right on the airport flight path and the planes come down very low and loud as they leave/land - not quite conducive with a peaceful holiday.

Positiv Lovely campsite with great size pitches and brilliant extras, like a lovely shower and outside kitchen! USB chargers were super helpful.

Negativ The toilets did get a bit smelly over the weekend, but just needed a top up of fragrance powder.

Positiv This is a lovely, peaceful, car-free site with well-mown pitches and amazing facilities. The compost toilets (Frida and Albert, love the artwork!) and the outdoor shower are spotlessly clean and functional. There is a great communal kitchen with big sink, solar-powered lights, USB chargers and fridge, plus a mighty gas hob with big enough kettle and mugs to make tea for a whole tribe!

Negativ Nothing really, though the very narrow lanes leading to the site might deter some who are unused to driving in the countryside, or not good at reversing! You can hear A30 traffic, but only as a gentle hum in the background. Low-flying planes from Exeter airport were a surprise at first, but it isn’t Heathrow and there aren’t many of them! Also there are only two toilets and one shower, which might be an issue when the site is busy.

Positiv Lovely quiet campsite in the countryside. We had an amazing sunset and nice weather. There is a marquee with seating under should it rain.

Positiv Pitches nicely spaced, great gazebo area with dining table for when it rains.

Negativ Wasps all around the toilet area, very unpleasant for toilet and shower experience. They swarm the willow which surrounds the area and you have to walk through the wasps to access the facilities. Toilets were also definitely overdue emptying, I've used compostable before and this was my worst compostable experience.
The location was down a narrow country road and we couldn't find any walkin paths nearby.
