We have stayed at Hillhead for many years including the last two Christmas & New Years. Can't do anything about the weather which again wasn't good and being on a hill the wind is constant and there is very little shelter but we love the Torbay area and Hillhead is handy for visiting the towns of Torbay and also Dartmouth, Totnes etc are only a short drive away or for those without a car the buses stop regularly outside the site gates so everywhere in the area is easily accessible by public transport. We have always found the site to be well maintained and the toilet/shower blocks very clean and warm. Wardens are pleasant and helpful. We don't use the club facilities on Christmas Day or New Years Eve as we prefer to do our own thing but these two ticket only days are popular and need to be booked well in advance. We have 2 dogs and the dog field here is secure, there are lovely areas for walking them near the site and they are allowed on all of the local beaches. Overall a great site and we will certainly be returning.
Christmas Visit
We have stayed on this site several times before and this is the second time over Christmas. Our stay was seven nights over Christmas and from Hillhead it was easy to take a day trip on the ferry to Dartmouth (either parking in Kingswear or taking the bus down) and a drive to Totnes for another day trip. We didn't take the option of Christmas dinner in the clubhouse, preferring to make our own dinner in our caravan but plenty of other people seemed to have taken that option.
The shower blocks were well cleaned, warm with plenty of hot water; the wardens helpful and friendly. A half hourly bus stops outside the site for a trip into Brixham. Cafes and pubs were open around the harbour on Boxing day, which made an enjoyable walk from Berry Head and return to walk off the Christmas excess. There is plenty of parking at Berry head although it is pay on exit arrangement.
We will certainly visit again.
First and NOT last visit
Totally disagree with last reviewer.
First visit to site for 2 nights 27 Dec and 28 Dec.
Very friendly staff. Clean and tidy site despite poor weather.
Clean and warm toilet blocks with hot showers.
Excellent frequent and friendly bus service to Dartmouth and Torbay.
Good views over the bay.
Couldn't sample the swimming pool as shut but looked fine.
We will be back in the summer.

First and Last Visit
First visit to this site with allegedly the finest facilities on the network. I don't know what this related to as compared to other Caravan and Motorhome Club sites, this was nothing special. Unheated washing up facility, Luke warm showers and a clubhouse charging more than our local pub! No footpath to Brixham, but ok if you are a bus pass holder or if you have a car etc. The Club will need to up it's game here or lower the prices, we can find other sites to stay at with better facilities and cheaper! Will not be returning.
Very nice site
Very good site , all clean & kept tidy , lovely views from a lots of pitches, good bus service to many places , good for families & couples & dogs .

Good base for exploring Torbay
Lovely site, with sea views from many of the pitches.
Bus stop to Brixham, Dartmouth and Paignton at site entrance making it easy to get around without a car.
Crossing to Dartmouth by ferry is good fun and there are plenty of places to eat and drink when you get there.
Site facilities are good but I would appreciate some form of heating in the dish washing hut!
Most enjoyable visit

Great Autumn Break
Great site in a convenient location to travel around the area. Friendly welcome and lots of local information. Good walks in the area and bus stop right outside the exit with cheap day and week rider tickets to Torbay, etc. Brixham is a typical Devon fishing town with great pubs and eateries and the walk to Berry Head is well worth the effort.
Large private pitches all with views across the fields and coast at the top of the site. Immaculate shower blocks and a well stocked shop and bar restaurant on site make this a great choice for couples and families.
Already looking forward to next visit!
Holiday
First time I have stayed at this site and what a clean and tidy site it is, that is down to the excellent work of the wardens. They were very helpful and friendly in every way right from arriving until I left ,I was there from the 8th to the 20th of September .The onsite restaurant was also excellent with very friendly staff and very good food. It is a site that I will be returning to at some point.
Hillhead
Have been to this site several times and find it very clean and well run and consistently good. Pleasant and helpful staff. Bus stop just outside of site to Brixham one way and Dartmouth the other. Enjoyed the clubhouse and bar/restaurant, although quiet at this time of year. Will definitely keep returning to Hillhead.

Hill head
An excellent site, can't fault the facilities and the Wardens. Bus stop right outside the site for Kingswear /Dartmouth Ferry and Paignton.
Our second time at this site and won't be the last.
