Lovely Holiday
We have just returned from10 glorious nights at Hillhead. Helped in part by the wonderful weather but also by the fact that our stay was one of the best holidays we have ever had.
The pitch we had was fantastic - No 6 at the top. Hard standing and fully serviced. It was private, spacious and a great pitch for catching the sun.
To be honest, if we had only been able to secure one of the lower site fully serviced pitches we personally would have been disappointed. Some of these were smaller, less private (no dividing hedge) and on the main road out of the site. In truth there did feel to be a big difference in the fully serviced pitches as other reviews have said.
That said, for once we fell lucky, and our pitch was simply wonderful.
The pool was fantastic, our daughter loved it and we made the most of this great facility. It was lovely and warm for even me and I hate getting cold in the water. The inflatable sessions were great fun and even though we were there over bank holiday there was room in the pool to enjoy yourself.
The showers were lovely, clean and warm and not the push button type. The toilets were well cleaned but some people appear to have no idea of cleanliness and hygiene but this is not the site's fault.
The entertainment was ok, we only went a couple of times but the entertainers made a good effort.
We didn't eat at the restaurant or take way so cannot comment on this.
The views from the site were wonderful and it was well kept and clean and tidy. Despite being full the site never felt cramped or busy it was peaceful and felt really nice.
There were lots of dogs on the site and I'm a dog lover myself but by the end of our stay I was quite happy to never hear another dog bark again.
As others have mentioned, some people clearly don't know how to clean up after their dogs but we only experienced this once.
The site was well located for easy access into Brixham, Paignton etc. And down to Kingswear and across to Dartmouth.
We were there for the Regatta and the park and ride offered across the road to Hillhead allowed site guests to use their buses to get down to Kingswear for a very reasonable fare.
The wardens were lovely. Every bit of contact I had with them from prior to arrival to during the holiday was fantastic. They were helpful, engaging and enthusiastic.
So would we go back? In truth maybe not but this is a positive. We all loved every moment of this holiday and everything about it was perfect. I would worry that any return visit would never match up to the brilliant time we had this year.
