Absolutely a little hidden quiet place. Pitches are big, facilities are always clean, brilliant place to take your furry friends loads of places to walk them, there’s even a field behind the main camp site for them to walk. The only downside if there was one, would be if you want the more popular places Torquay Newquay etc it’s a bit of a travel. However there’s plenty of beautiful beach near by.

I loved staying at this campsite. It's peaceful and surrounded by nature but not too far away from the local shops. It's in a perfect location to explore the area. The campsite is kept tidy and the facilities are perfect for what you need (hot showers!). It is cleaned regularly and well stocked with a fridge and freezer for communal use too.

Very quiet and peaceful with loads of room at each pitch. The large open area in the middle really made it feel spacious. We had some vehicle issues while we were there and Vicki could not have been more helpful and understanding. The access is down 3 miles of narrow lanes but if you follow the recommended route, not satnav, you will be ok. We will definitely be back 🙂

Great campsite..plenty of space.. good facilities and in a beautiful setting Only quibble would be the recycling arrangements…you have a bin for glass but not for anything else although bags are provided.. however the local wildlife doesn't find the bags much of a deterrent resulting in some rubbish being strewn about. Would stay again
