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.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Clean site with good amenities

Disliked: Paid £19 for site WiFi which was non-existant on our pitch felt robbed as couldn't even get 4G.
Pitch numbers should have been allocated arrived show to our pitch as it was raining hard drove to toilet block before setting up after along drive only to find when we got back to our pitch they had given it to someone else and was told by staff to go find another empty pitch so had to drive around site to find a vacant pitch. This definitely tained our view on the site

Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 8 metres)

Liked: Good location, easy walk to local pub (The Anchor (15th century) great motorhome parking. Toilet, shower and washing up facilities on site were spotlessly clean . Staff very helpful, we checked in much earlier than our time slot.
Prepaid hook up - great value.

Disliked: The main entertainment room lacked space for the amount of people staying on site, need a bigger complex to support the ever growing campsite, so only visited one evening.
Couldn’t get booked into any eateries on site… 400 carveries booked for Easter Sunday so we walked to the local pub.

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.
