Allerbrook Meadows

喜欢: We had a wonderful time at Allerbrook Meadows. Waking up to the sounds of the stream, birds and rustling trees was so relaxing. Pam and Chris were very helpful and friendly, and have created great practical solutions for an off the grid, nearly wild camping experience. There is a composting toilet, fire pit, small weber bbq, picnic table with benches, communal fridge and freezer, and a small communal gazebo with extra bits and bobs. The shower water was warm and the pressure great.
Chris went out of his way to give us local recommendations, which we really apprexiated.
We were also lucky enough to have the campsite to ourselves the last 2 nights, which was a treat!
I would definitely recommend this campsite for a quiet, nearly wild, close to nature breakaway.

来自经理: We are sad to be putting the site to bed at the end of the season but very pleased to have had you as our last campers of 2024. We hope your appreciation of the site and of our region will encourage like-minded couples to visit in 2025.

喜欢: We had a fantastic time at Chris and Pam's campsite. If luxury is your thing you are in the wrong place. But if you want to leave city life behind and enjoy nature then this is the place to be. It's a green oasis where you can completely unwind. Chris drives your stuff to the campsite and if you have children they can also get a ride in the back of Chris' tractor. They really loved it. And sorry Chris... I noticed that we accidentally took the Uncle Tom Cobley's song (that you so kindly printed out for us and plasticised) back home.

不喜欢: The air beds ;-) . But that's not on Chris.

来自经理: Thank you Arno. That so made me laugh! I got the table mat at a Widecombe souvenir shop for our grand daughter when she was 2. She's now 14 and can eat a meal without spreading it everywhere and is now much more into Taylor Swift than Uncle Tom Cobley. The table mat has gone to a very good home! 😊

喜欢: A wonderful quiet location in a valley next to a small stream. Loads of space. A great deal of thought has gone into providing everything you could possibly want for a wilder camping experience. There are picnic benches, composting toilet, hot shower, fire pits, chiminea and kitchen gazebo with loads of little touches like flint and steel, natural fire lighters, kelly kettle, etc.
Kids loved the swing over the stream.
Owners Chris and Pam provided us with local maps and good locals advice! No running water down in the valley but multiple large water containers topped up by Chris and no chance of running out.
We also hired their kayaks which are brand new.
Met by Chris on arrival and loaded our tent etc into a small trailer which was towed down into the valley, so no hauling kit! They have put a lot of thought into keeping it as wild as possible but still having essentials. The shower is a minute or so walk from the camping area and next to it there is a shed with a fridge/freezer and power to charge phones.
Site is covered by phone signal (useful for watching the Olympics).
The whole family would highly recommend

不喜欢: Lots of slugs at night!

来自经理: Thank you for that most comprehensive of reviews. We very much enjoyed hosting our 'Guests From The West' and are pleased that the home-made style of the site was appreciated by all.

喜欢: Fabulous small site with really friendly and helpful hosts - thank you Chris and Pam! The site is small, but really well thought out, with a kitchen tent with stove and washing up area, picnic benches, as well as a warm shower, fridge and electric socket. They only take 3 pitches at a time and we were lucky enough to book with no one else there! It’s a short walk up to the car, but Chris shuttle runs your stuff down. Only marked down slightly for child friendliness as it’s alongside a tributary, so not suitable for really little ones, but ours loved it, especially the rope swing. We had a lovely weekend!

来自经理: We are very pleased that you appreciated the 'wild side' of the campsite and hope that you will be able to return some time for more logging, fire lighting and backwoodsman action!

喜欢: Our best campsite ever! It was like wild camping but with extras included. (Picnic bench, BBQ, fire-pit, chairs). The fridge, freezer and the hot shower were very much appreciated. Chris gave us maps of some lovely walks which we did from, and back to, the site. We were always happy to return to our pitch and the sounds of nature, especially the hooting of the owls.

不喜欢: Work commitments meant that we couldn’t extend our stay. ☹

来自经理: So glad you enjoyed your stay and the walks. There are more walk plans for you to try out should you decide to come again. It's good to see that the swing is not just for kids!

喜欢: We have stayed at Allerbrook Meadow twice in the last 2 years and have enjoyed it very much on both occasions. It is a fantastic location for both Dartmoor and the coast with a super choice of beaches close by. The campsite is peaceful and relaxing and the setting is idyllic with a small stream running past the pitches surrounded by beautiful trees. Chris is a very helpful and kind host. A magical place to unwind - would highly recommend it!

来自经理: Thank you for that glowing review. We were very pleased that you were able to come again for another week of walking, swimming and exploration of rivers and coastline. And dam building too. Very impressive!
