CL at its best!

The best CL, we have had the pleasure in staying at!! Lovely spacious pitches, with superb views, and birdsong from dawn to dusk. Very distant road noise, and yet a stones throw from the main A38. If you take the turning too early, its up hill and down dale...if you don't it's literally 4 mins off the main road. The lane has a few passing places, and you would be unlucky to meet another outfit. This is a gem of a site, and may regret telling all....but feel one has to share! Two large toilet cubicles should you need-but great to have water and electric on each pitch. The site is beautifully clean and the owners on hand if needed-but not in your face. We WILL be back, as it is close enough to us, to make our second home! Real pleasure!

Week away for birthday

Stayed here on the second week of a three week tour site very clean, pitches marked well, view stunning when not raining which it did most of the week, quiet windy as you are higher than most of the surrounding area hence lovely views, toilets spotless, shower does need updating but seen worse, the last 3/4 mile is interesting driving and perhaps an extra sign or two on the way in would help, the second turning is very easy to miss as the sign is on the lefthand side behind the hedges, having a sign on the right would help, also the sign for the entrance might be better placed on the right hand side of the road.

Warm welcome

Spent 4 nights here it is a wonderful location and beautiful views across the valley. We had a warm welcome and owners are very helpful one of the best sites I have visited. Only one fault and that is the shower is very dirty it needed a good clean so we decided not to use it .

Wonderful views of Dartmoor

This is a really nice CL. Two new toilets have just been added making it even better. The wifi is not very reliable but apart from that its a nice place to visit - this year was the 3rd time we have spent a week there.

What a Lovely Spot

This is an excellent CL. We only had 1 night but would definately return again. Only downside is final 3/4 mile which is narrow with limited passing places, but the CL is well worth the effort.  All pitches are hardstanding and level, and the views to Dartmoor are spectacular. In addition to electric hookup each pitch has its own water supply, and there are picnic tables. Booked via Email and got prompt reply. Peter and Angela helpful and friendly.

A Good Place to stay

Mr & Mrs Smerdon are most helpfull. The site has good views towards Dartmoor. Some pitches are hardcore and they are well spaced each having its own electricity and tap. The toilets and shower good quality although situated in a wooden shed like building. We have been there twice and would recommend this cl to other members

Peaceful site

This was our first experience of a CL and we loved it. The views are stunning. The site if flat with hardstanding and grass and the pitches are huge. We have a small Eriba caravan and parked across ways to make the most of the views. It was so nice not to have the rules and regs of a club site. The approach road is narrow but posed no problems. Our name was on our pitch on arrival. Each pitch has EHU and its own tap. Yes, the toilets and shower are in a home made shed but they are adequate. The shower was powerful and the water hot. I kept my flip flops on as the floor didn't look overly clean. There are no washing up facilities so we washed up outside in a bowl, this reminded me of my tent camping days and I loved it. The pitch cost £12 in July which is great value. The site is well placed for the A38 (you do a get a little bit of road noise, if the wind is coming from that direction). We enjoyed the steam railway at Buckfastleigh and the fish and chips in the Jolly Rodger they were excellent! Overall an excellent site for camping as it used to be. We are now converts to the CLs.

Difficulty with a motorhome

Confirming what has previously been said - the lane is narrow and kept reasonably well cut back but it only takes a few errant branches to mark the van - expect most will polish out!  Our van is narrow too.  Views lovely although most of our stay involved rain.  Good hardstanding - we couldn't see a name on any of the pitches as previously mentioned?  The only trouble was with emptying the toilet and especially the water - having to go over very wet grass.  For the latter, with a motorhome, we had to reverse right up to the toilet/shower shed and on one occasion we got stuck in the mud and had to use our trusty rubber tracks to get us out.  Difficult to empty a complete tank and we did not see anyone else emptying grey water so I expect most people let it go on the ground.  Would revisit as it is very handy for sights - however some roadworks meant the exit from Plymouth and towards Exeter were closed and traffic rerouted via Rattery itself which was a challenge!

Excellent CL

You are welcomed to the site with your name placed on one of the well-spaced pitches. There you will find your hook up and your own individual tap. Facing you are stunning views across the moors. The toilets and showers are well tended and serviced every day. The lane leading to the farm is very narrow but not too long and very quiet so the chance of meeting someone coming the other way whilst towing is slight. There is easy access to main roads from this lane to the many attractions of the area. A great site for a short or long stay. Highly recommended.
