Wet and Windy

Stayed for a wet and windy week in September and enjoyed every minute. The site, though busy, was quiet and peaceful, mainly due to the layout of having small hedged bays giving a feeling of being on a much smaller site. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly whenever we had contact with them. The shop carried the basics and the restaurant served very good food. The toilet/shower blocks were well maintained and the only fault which my wife found in the Ladies block was that the flooring could become slippery and she would have liked to have seen shelving in the shower cubicle for the placing of shampoo etc. Hillhead is certainly a site we would return to.

First time to Hillhead, will 100% be back

Stayed September 2015! What a magnificent site! Could not fault anything despite wet weather! This is our first visit to Hillhead Caravan site and we were delighted in all areas! Wardens helpful and the whole site immaculate. The toilet blocks were convenient and in perfect condition and all times. Facilities on site first rate. We have already decided to return next year. Great work by the whole team!

VICTIM OF IT'S OWN SUCCESS

Excellent hardworking wardens, spotless facilities, ideal location, BUT because of all this, this site is extremely popular, and very very busy. this was our 4th visit in 4 years and the worst. All hardstandings were taken, grass pitches were worn out due to rain and over use in the school holidays. Spent the week trying to keep mud from treading into awning and caravan not easy with a dog too. Still had to pay same pitch price as those on dry hardstandings. Now home having to clean mud off awning, ground sheet, shoes and wellies. Worst holiday in 15yrs hated it. Will not be returning to Hillhead until Caravan Club put in more hardstandings so us over 70yrs old can have a relaxing holiday not a stressful time trying to keep things clean. Why aren't grass pitches closed when they become over used and turn muddy? Furious, waste of a holiday, waste of money.

Fab-u-lous site

Stayed for a week and loved this site. Such clean facilities pleasure to use them. Great dog walk. Pool and restaurant were lovely. Wardens super friendly and helpful. Would be better if more hard standings as very soggy ground after rainy days. Well stocked shop and nice assistants. Definitely will book again.

One Of The Best

Stayed here from the 2nd of September for 12 nights. On a serviced pitch on the lower part of the site , bit of a trek to the toilets and showers but nice and quiet apart from being the main route out of the site , could do with speed bumps on that part of the site to slow the traffic down . Toilets and outside areas well maintained and clean, staff very friendly . Good bus service from site . Will visit again

We were lucky I suppose

We arrived on 13th September for a three night stay. We asked for a hardstanding as we have a fairly large and heavy motorhome so we were given a disabled pitch due to it being a short stay. There had been torrential rain before and while we were there and a lot of the grass pitches seemed to have slopes to access and exit from so I think if we had used some of the grass pitches we would have had a problem getting off them and not sure what would be available to tow us off had we got stuck. It is a shame and I understand some of the frustration that people have mentioned but I fail to see what the wardens can do as most people today seem to want hardstandings. Maybe if grass pitches were slightly cheaper for people on a tighter budget would help? Anyway the site is great, facilities modern and spotlessly clean, fabulous location for bus routes to Dartmouth, Brixham and surrounding areas. We didn't use the pool or clubhouse as we're not bingo fans and like to appreciate a bit of peace whilst we are away. Thanks again CC.

Hardworking Wardens

We were here from Sept 3rd .The wardens were working extremely hard to manage a difficult situation caused by adverse weather. My understanding is that motorhomes such as ours were on grandstanding because of the constraints 're towing if stuck.The site is in a wonderful situation we were on the lower level and from the galley window we looked across the valley,red devon cows with their calves were grazing.Wonderful in the early morning mist or evening sun.There are lovely walks excellent bus links and lots of things to do.The swimming pool was heated to a comfortable temperature and the shop is convenient. The wardens were courteous in the face of some rudeness from a minority of members,perhaps these were the same users who left the facilities in a mess. I can understand some people were frustrated and even angry but really there is no ideal solution to a problem caused by weather and the wardens do have to maintain the integrity of the pitches for the rest of the long season.We enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

Disgruntled

Arrived on September 2nd, wardens tried to contact us to cancel owing to heavy rain. We were there so we were allocated a grass pitch as all hardstandings were taken, mainly by heavy motor homes. We had a caravan with an awning and spent our holiday of fourteen nights on a wet pitch. We were unavable to move as there were no hardstandings available. Except that we saw them every day and mostly they were occupied by heavy motor homes or were empty. In any case we are in our late seventies and the effort of taking down the awning and moving would have been too much. We loved the site and had a good holiday but unless we can book hardstanding are not prepared to come again which is a shame. The hard standings look lovely and they are roomy. We had also booked very early in the year for a long stay and it is very galling to see choice pitches being used for a few days and often with a motor home only marker meaning the pitch is empy for most of the day, A further comment is that there are not enough disabled facilities my husband has a radar key but was often unable to access the facility as it was being used. These days there are many people that need these facilities and obviously take longer in them than more able people. The site itself is superb but the pitching arrangements need to be thoroughly overhauled.
