Great CL

Furze Park Farm
A lovely site, good views and we were made very welcome by Karen and Martin even though they were busy with running the farm. Unfortunately we had to cut short our stay as the car broke down and none of the garages could look at it for at least a fortnight. The directions are very easy to follow. The garden centre, just down the road, is worth a visit, as the name suggests there are plants galore and there is an urn for you to make a free cup of tea or coffee. We shall definitely got back to this great site.

Great place when visiting Plymouth

Furze Park Farm
We just stayed at Furze Park Farm for three nights and it was perfect for our needs. Checking in was easy with good information from the site owner, and the site is very well set out. Being just off the A38, it is very easy to find, and very convenient. As it is near the new Sherford development, it has excellent buses into Plymouth if you want to go there. It is very tranquil, and we even saw some Perseid meteors while we were there.

A week at Furze Park Farm

Furze Park Farm
Got back a week ago from Furze Park Farm and full of praise for an excellent CL on a working farm close to Plymouth. Very easy access from the A38 and seemed to be popular for people on 1 night stays who are getting the ferry out of Plymouth the following day. Hard standings are on slightly sloping ground but we found no problem in levelling our caravan. The daily tariff includes electricity and the chemical waste disposal facilities are the best we have found on any CL we have visited. Martin and Karen are excellent hosts who were seen busy running the farm most days and we were able to buy fresh eggs from them. Nell the 10 month old spaniel came over to see us most days for us to throw her a ball, stone, stick or anything else she could find and drop at our feet! There's a very good nursery a few hundred yards down the lane who sell a massive range of good quality plants much cheaper than you would find anywhere else. We will definitely stay here again when we next visit the area.

Great Stay.Great CL Site.

Furze Park Farm
This is a lovely site, we have just returned from here and will not hesitate to return. The site has hard standing pitches and is kept nice and tidy. Good base for days out or 4.5 miles into Plymouth. Excellent garden centre down the road a matter of yards. The weather made it even better, plus we came home with a good stock of fresh eggs. See you again soon. Keith & Patricia.

Pleasant orchard site.

Furze Park Farm
Very nice CL, friendly owners. 5 Spacious gravel pitches. View towards Sherford and beyond. Easy to find follow Plants Galore sign, it's basically on a dead end created by new Sherford roads. A little distant hum from A38 but not enough to disturb. 25mins walk to centre of Plympton. The rest of South Devon on your doorstep. £20 pn Inc ehu.
