although just the two of us at the site we kept mentioning that if we had grand children then this is a place we would like to come to. Everything for the family to enjoy. keep up the good work
It was our first visit to the site and what a fantastic site it was perfect for family's especially the heated outdoor pool always something to do whatever the weather also close to brixham,paignton,and dartmouth so in exellent posistion we had an amazing time and will be returning next year the one downside was some of the pitches were a bit small and on arrival with most of the site being quite tight were left to find a pitch on our own and had to back out of a lot of dead ends etc i think the wardens could help to direct you to a pitch especially when its busy like it was when we arrived apart from that the wardens work very hard to keep the site clean and tidy we had a fantastic time cant wait to come back next year.
We have just had a lovely 2 weeks at Hillhead. Dartmouth 2 1/2 miles one way, Brixham 2 miles the other! What could be better. Site clean and tidy staff helpful and enough of them to cope with the campers. Prices resonant in well stocked shop. Although it has a dog walk I found a nice stroll by turning left at the gate and followed the bridleway. There are minimal prime pitches for views so get there early as newcomers seem to get on before the 12 noon start! We liked the site well worth it for a central location. Little hint - look out for scabbacombe sands it's well worth the effort (you will sweat getting there).
This was my first visit to Hillhead. The only real negative for me was upon arrival we were left to find our own pitch which is normal, but the site is so tight that there were quite a few people including myself just going round and round and getting frustrated. I do feel that due to the sites layout and tight spaces the wardens should assist in getting to a suitable pitch. However This is a constructive criticism and should not take away from the excellent facilities and the hard work all the wardens put in to maintain it. Definitely a site for families and not for a peaceful break.
Third time to Hillhead, easy to get there, well maintained two toilet blocks plenty of room and clean. Wardens are friendly. Buses outside site go to Dartmouth, Brixam, Paighton, bus to Torquay from Paighton or ferry from Brixham to Torquay, just central for all. Club on site with a good dog area and you still part of club and entertainment. Plenty to do and see we will go back.
What an absolute great site, stayed here for six nights. Kids enjoyed the swimming and football facilities, entertainment was enjoyable also. Toilet facilities were second to none, the bus service was ideal being at the front door. The warden staff were very friendly and took our needs into consideration allowing us to stay on a pitch that was ideal for access to facilities. Its the best caravan club site we have stayed at yet. Will certainly use this caravan site again and would highly recommend it to others.
Another great visit to this site (fourth year running) A minor hiccup on the way down with our tow car but this was soon sorted with the very helpful wardens recommending Brixham Garage who they use themselves due to this arrived at 18:30 but a couple of phone calls to them pre advising that we were running late, we were told that this was not a problem and thanked us for the communication, we had booked a serviced pitch and on arrival found that the wardens had pre allocated us a pitch knowing we were running late. The restraunt meals are OK (certainly not al a carte but do what they say on the tin if you cannot be bothered cooking maybe a little over priced). One negative was the good old English weather but this is one thing that even the wardens cannot put right. Overall another great stay and will be returning in the future. PS just to re-iterate that the wardens on this site are some of the best we have come across on the club network if not the best.
We spent 2 weeks here in July and as usual it was excellent. We had a fully serviced pitch which was very spacious and close to the swimming pool/bar complex. The facilities were always clean and tidy and the wardens do a great job considering the size of the site. The bar/restaurant are is very good with decent food at a reasonable price the entertainment at night is also ok (we loved the Neil Diamond tribute act he was fantastic). The site is big but is still able to retain that rural feel. There is plenty to do in the area a visit to Brixham is a must and I recomend the Rio Fish Restaurant who do great fish and chips. Torquay and Paington are also close by and are well worth a vist as is Dartmouth where you can take a river cruise. All in all a great site and we will returrn at some point in the future.
Our 4th visit to this site & we will return again. We travelled this time with our 14 year old Daughter, 10 & 5 year old Sons & all 3 loved the site - the pool, playground, games room - all a big hit. Facilities clean & such hard working wardens. We mailed a week prior to arrival to ensure we would be pitched suitably as we have a twin axle caravan without a motor mover & know from experience some pitches can be tight. On arrival we were greeted by a super male warden & had a choice of 5 pitches on the top field. First class service. Thank you to the wardens. Clubhouse food excellent & reasonably priced. Cannot comment on evening entertainment as did not use the clubhouse in the evening. Excellent base to explore the surrounding area. Great crabbing in Brixham (kids love it every time!); brilliant family day out at Woodlands (keeping the cost down taking our own food/drink); love the cliff railway at Babbacombe down to Oddicombe beach; Teignmouth front & beach is very family friendly with lots to entertain kids of all ages & picturesque too - the cliff walk to Dawlish is well worth doing whilst there; Paignton is very "English seaside" but lovely all the same. Wonderful family holiday in a fabulous location at a very family friendly site. Our only negative comment is fellow caravanners/motor homers...not all of us want to stay up & listen to you socialising outside or in your awnings until gone 11.30pm/midnight - some of us like a little peace & quiet especially when we have kids we are trying to get to sleep! Just a little consideration please! We are not party poopers at all but we need to appreciate that we all holiday differently & at that hour a little less noise please! That said, this did not spoil our holiday so please do not be put off - give Hillhead a try!
