Fabulous!
I wont repeat all the positives but they are all correct. Lovely to just pitch in any direction and how you like as the pitches are so spacious. The lane approach is fine, we have an 8ft wide x 8m, twin axle caravan and all was fine. All I would say is the busy/free sign on the shower room could be larger so that you can read it from your pitch if you are feeling little lazy and want to make sure it is free before you set off for a shower! Ha Ha! We loved being on grass and no hardstanding, fed up of all the gravel on the larger sites. CL's are the way forward for us. Go and visit, you will love it.
Dreamy Devon CL
Stayed 2 nights, with friends in the next door pitch. Lovely setting surrounded by mature trees, by an orchard. massive pitches with individual water and EHU. Good shower/toilet/laundry facilities. Easy arrival with assigned pitches. Welcomed by Karen who provides lots of material for local walks and eating places and other information. Great walks from site - did circular walk along river to Crediton which has a fabulous town square. Good lunch at Baobob café.. Did alternative walk to train station to catch a train to the Duck Inn for lunch, Probably our fabvourite CL so far. Would definitely recommend

Thank you Karen and Jason for our relaxing time on your campsite

Beautiful surroundings and amazing facilities
Please follow the directions to site from Crediton as the roads are very narrow from other directions! After lots of breathing in moments we’re we’re rewarded with a stunningly beautiful site, a stream running around the back, train track with possibly 3 trains an hour, an orchard, pretty buildings, and excellent facilities. The site owner is very welcoming and informative, lots of print outs with directions on where to walk into town or pretty riverside walks or to the local train station and dog walks to let them run free. We had storms,gale force winds and power cuts and the owner could not have been more helpful during all of this so called ‘summer weather’. We would definitely love to return next year.

All good
We stayed three nights at Beare Mill and had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday. The pitch sizes were more than generous and the facilities were perfectly clean and adequate. We were made to feel very welcome and would not hesitate to recommend this CL. The walk to the station was easy, nice and flat, but the easiest way to get to the town is by road, we walked the footpath over the hill ..... but only once! Having said that, we are in our seventies and I have mobility difficulties, so if you are younger or fitter it probably won't be a problem.
Altogether a lovely stay.

Gem
Lovely site, with clean, well-maintained facilities. Upon arrival we were welcomed by Karen, who kindly gave us information about local walks and amenities, which was really helpful. She also welcomed us to walk through their adjacent land, which included a lovely part of the river which our dog loved swimming in. We would like to make particular note of a beautiful, huge and ancient oak tree which stands in one of the fields - what an amazing sight. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay - we would love to return one day.

Wonderful stay
We've not stayed in this part of Devon before but probably will again - Crediton itself is a gem. The site itself is wonderful with huge spaces between the pitches and mature trees surrounding the two fields. The pitches all have hook-up and their own water taps and there are excellent toilet/shower/laundry facilities. It is important to heed the advice about access routes as some sat-navs will suggest totally inappropriate roads up from the A30. The correct access does still involve a final mile of single track road but we encountered two separate vehicles coming the other way when we were departing and in both instances, they were quickly able to pull off into places for us to get past, so it was no problem. There is a near by railway line but the trains don't seem to make much noise and don't seem to run at all at night. Oveall, the site seems very quiet and peaceful. We definitely recommend the site and will use it again next time we stay in this part of the country.

The Loveliest Campsite that we've been to in Devon
Karen and Jason have built a haven in a Tranquil spot full of wildlife, the pitches are well spaced out with electricity and water available right there so you do not have to fill up elsewhere at a Motorhome point or use your rolling barrel to carry water to fill your Tank.
We had our new dog Poppy with us so I was pleased to see that a field was available to carry on her training and again it is large enough for her not to be distracted by other dogs entering the field (we had many great training sessions in there).
The site is located close to Crediton so it was easy to walk into town to visit my Mother, we hopefully will be booking another visit in October, looking forward to seeing the site again.
A Tight Fit.
One of the most spacious CLs we've ever stayed at. The field is enclosed by many different species of tree with an extraordinary amount of space between each pitch. Each has fresh Water; full electric. The GWR line runs along the far side of the site, but that is quirky rather than disruptive. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent, well looked after and free. The whole surroundings at Beare Mill are top notch. There is an adjoining field, called The Orchard, which is accessed through a hedge between pitch 4 & 5 of the cl, it is a beautiful little setting for 3 caravans. Finally, the elephant in the room - the access. Extremely, extremely tight, final access road. Maybe half a mile of high banked/hedged, single track road, with the vegetation brushing both towing mirrors simultaneously. I doubt if an 8ft wide caravan would fit. We would return in an instant, but unfortunately the access is to much to beare.
Comment from the CL Owner:
thank you for your review, we have just paid for the hedges to be cut accessing Beare Mill. Current guests staying with us have said what a difference it has made.
