This place is absolutely beautiful, as we arrived we had a lovely greeting the owners are lovely. We booked here as friends had re located to the area and it's been ideal. Our 2 bed caravan was very luxurious… and had everything we needed. It was clean and very nicely done. The views are incredible with a short walk to the beach. We borrowed a spade from the red phone box - a lovely touch.
We had the swimming pool to ourselves this morning and had fun with the children, we didn't get chance to use the outdoor play area but it looked great!. My 6 year old said it's the best UK stay we've

Great place to stay. I hadn't been back for over 15 years and was not disappointed. There have been a few changes and a little modernisation, but everything is in sympathy with the overall ambiance of the… site. Still run by the Hart family, the park is very professionally managed, without losing the family feel.
First: amenities. If you are looking for somewhere with a thriving night life and bar, with parties and kids clubs... find somewhere else. This holiday park has a really well maintained swimming pool, a sauna, a play area for kids with so.e.nicely thought out and maintained play

Enjoyed a relaxing family stay with an 8 and 4 year old. The facilities are well designed to meet all self catering requirements. Swimming pool, launderette, kids park on site and well maintained. But the piece… de resistance is the sound of the stream running through the site to the sea. So close to nature and the sea. Candice and James are dedicated to making it a memorable stay. They are hands on with everyday management of the site. Thank you for a good autumn experience. See you again in July next year

We had a great holiday here with 2 other groups of friends, the caravans are well equipped and spotless, grounds beautiful maintained. It felt so safe to let our kids run around free, ideal playground for our 6… to 8 year olds. Owners are very friendly and everything was well organised. And it was so quiet despite high season. Great location to explore South Hams. Thank you!
