Main holiday
We couldn't have picked a better location. As said in other reviews the scenery and tranquility is perfect, beautiful views and no road noise whatsoever. We stayed for 11 night's and enjoyed every minute and Julie made us most welcome during our stay and the eggs were the best that I have had in a very long time.
It is half a mile from Morleigh to the fork where one branches off to the right and half a mile from the fork to the farm with plenty of passing places. In all the 12 days that we were there coming and going every day not once did we encounter any vehicle from the fork to the farm and in the 12 day's only twice did we encounter two vehicles between Morleigh and the fork and one of those vehicles was Julie's husband and in both cases they stopped immediately to let us pass. I must admit that I was a little apprehensive to the approach after I googled the site as another caravanner also said to me there but was very surprised as it was nowhere near as daunting as I thought it was going to be.
We had far more grief in the 7 hours that it took us to get home due to being diverted off two motorways during the night because they were completely closed between certain junctions than in all the time we were there.
The location is ideal for touring all around the South Hams, Paignton, Brixham, Dartmouth, Salcombe etc. We also popped down to Looe and Polperro in Cornwall for a day's outing which was no problem at all. There was certainly plenty to do in the surrounding areas and we probably never saw half of what there is to see.
TV reception is very good but if using an external satellite dish as we did it is 100% perfect there are no obstructions anywhere near the direction of the satellite. The site is very dog friendly.
The information on the Caravanner and Motorhome Club website regarding Boreston Farm is not strictly correct! It says, from £10.00, well, IT IS ONLY £10.00 including all occupant's, secondly, it says extras, electrical hook up available, this is NOT an extra IT IS INCLUDED in the £10.00 so all in all an excellent fee.
The river trip from Totnes to Dartmouth was well worthwhile and a visit to the chilli farm are amongst many interesting attractions.
Finally, I would recommend this site hands down for the tranquility and views that it possesses. If we ever decide to visit Devon again then it's a no-brainer.
Happy and safe caravanning or motorhoming.
