Pitch overlooking the devon countryside

  • Award-winning 80-acre site two miles from the beach
  • Pools, pub, fish and chip shop, sauna, steam room and gym
  • Five private fishing lakes, woodland adventure zone and nature trails
Anyone who relishes a bit of variety on their holidays should give this award-winning site serious consideration: there are buckets and spades of activities for all ages, both on site and in the immediate vicinity. Tucked into a valley, only a mile away from swathes of Blue Flag beaches, and a 10-minute drive from Dawlish Warren, Cofton Holidays has 80 acres of meadows, orchards and woodland laced with nature trails for visitors to explore. The facilities here will keep the whole family happily entertained for weeks: Cofton's indoor pool has massage jets and hydrotherapy bubble loungers, as well as a sauna, steam room and gym (a small additional charge applies), and there's a splash area with water jets to entertain the kids. Or set off angling instead at one of the five private fishing lakes, to bag a monster carp (24-pounders aren't unknown here). More? Kids can bounce around in the three dedicated play areas or explore the adventure zone in the woods, with activities such as pond dipping and bug hunting laid on in season; if it’s raining, there’s also a games room with amusements and a pool table. After these exertions, retire to the poolside patio of the Swan Inn for a refresher and a snack: the pub opens every night and serves up a good range of grub (breakfast and lunch are also available at weekends), plus regular entertainment including live bands, discos and karaoke in high season. Cofton also has its own fish and chip joint, as well as a shop for any vittles you might need. Wifi across the whole site (charges apply) means staying connected is simple, and it’s also worth mentioning that Cofton has excellent facilities for disabled visitors.

8 meter FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked: The site was very clean, neat and tidy, and facilities are great for everyone. Food and drink are reasonably priced, although we only had a drink in the pub, but the food looked great that the staff were serving to customers. The site shop is very well stocked if you've forgotten to pack something. And last but not least the staff were fabulous, they are so knowledgeable and helpful, we will definitely return for another lovely break.

Disliked: Probably having to pay separately for electricity!

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Great stay, friendly staff, kids loved the activities especially the indoor pool. Site is kept very clean and felt safe whilst camping for 5 nights. Will be back for sure.

Disliked: Two toilet / shower blocks where closed that where closest to our tent during our stay so we had a bit of an extra walk to the others, I guess this was due to the smaller amount staying the week after Easter, they where all open during our summer stay last year. You can pay a 10 pound deposit for a key to the family shower rooms so will probably do that next time. Overall though it was a great holiday!

Liked: Pool. Zip wire. Generally a nice feel on site. Friendly staff and happy customers.

Disliked: WiFi. Paid for package and still no signal. Was offered a different upgraded package - but still had no signal. Disappointed! Should be advertised as limited WiFi - available in main complex only.

Local attractions

Wandering just outside the site, the nearby clifftops have pretty walks; there are gentle bike rides around and about; plus beaches and waterways offering more sail-, paddle- and wave-powered action than you can shake a stick at. Take a bus (the stop’s only 100 metres away) to explore a bit further afield: this corner of Devon's jampacked with things to see and do, including castles, botanic gardens, zoos, aquariums, animal farms, model villages and adventure parks. It's a 10-minute drive from the site to spectacular Dawlish Warren, home to a sandy beach and a tiptop nature reserve.
