WONDERFUL FIND

This site was truly a wonderful find offering a rural and extremely peaceful location in the Devon village of Bow. The pitches were set in a well kept manicured garden boasting its own pond and pergola. For those who enjoy bird watching then you're in for a treat as during our 7 day stay in late May I counted 27 different species. Bow village is just a short walk direct from the site, as is the convenience of a Co-op store offering a large selection of items. A well stocked garden centre is also within walking distance with the added bonus of a really nice cafe. By car a great deal of picturesque Devon can be explored. Importantly, the owners Dave & Phyl Pengelly were the perfect hosts making you feel welcome and part of the family from the minute you arrived.

lovely cl site

This was our first visit to a CL site, Dave was very welcoming and helpful, the site has lovely surroundings and is quiet, there is one toilet and 2 showers, t V lead was provided, (the only downside was the poor mobile signal for the phones, so you cant use mobile broadband etc. but there is a café up the road with free Wi-Fi should you need it) there is a coop store within walkable distance that is very well stocked and open long hours, their is also a caravan shop next to the coop should you need anything for the van. we live approx. 40miles away so a nice place to get away to for the weekend.

Best kept secret in Devon

If your looking for a noisy site this in not for you. If your looking for a quiet, peaceful and pretty site then look no further. Dave and Phyl a credit to the Caravan Club. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We have been visiting this site for many a year and would not go anywhere else. The site is very well looked after, grass, flower beds and borders are regularly tended and so are the facilities. Sit and watch the the wildlife (squirrels, grouse deer etc) that ventures onto the site- quite enthralling. Close to essential facilities (shop, bus stop, pub etc) all help make life easy. As you can see we are totally in love with the site.

Autumn Visit

First time on the site & very pleasantly surprised. Hardstanging pitches with own TV and water connection, both ladies & gents toilets, a shower and a laundry. Wonder how he manages to do this for just £9 per night when others are charging up to £15 for similar facilities. Site is relatively sheltered and although only 200yds off a main road very quiet. Oakhampton & Crediton are only a short drive away and Dartmoor is easily reached for those interested in walking & cycling, or just touring about. There is a Co-op for essentials on the main road just as one turns for the site, could hardly be handier.
