Fabulous site

We’ve just had seven nights here and we loved it. The whole site has a comfortable, welcoming feel to it. I’m sure this is because the wardens who run this site are exceptional. They are so friendly and helpful and they fetch fish and chips for anyone who wants them, twice a week. The portions are very generous and they are piping hot and delicious. All the facilities here are pristine and there’s a motorhome service point. We took advantage of the excellent laundry facility. There’s a lovely dog walk from the site, which also leads to a short walk to The Hare and Hounds. They serve excellent pub grub and the carvery is first class. If you stay here, do not miss going to the Donkey Sanctuary. There’s free parking and it’s free entrance. The donkeys are adorable and the whole place is a joy to walk around. Their restaurant serves lovely coffee, cakes and wonderful breakfasts. The scenery around East Devon is beautiful. We had a great time. Thank you to the wonderful wardens.

A lovely stay

We recently spent 11 nights on this site, and really enjoyed it. The site is very spacious and pretty, surrounded by fields and woodland ( which was full of bluebells during our stay) There is some road noise during the day but it’s so quiet at night - we heard owls almost every night! The site is on a slope but many of the hard standing pitches looked pretty flat. The two toilet blocks were always spotless and we felt the wardens worked incredibly hard to keep everywhere looking nice. It’s a short walk through the woods to the Hare and Hounds, which serves food all day and is famous for its carvery. We loved exploring the area as both the coast and countryside in this area are absolutely beautiful. We especially liked Sidmouth, which is a fantastic little resort with lots of independent shops and a huge shingle beach. Do follow the instructions in the handbook when approaching the site with a caravan, as some of the hills are very steep! We’d recommend Putts Corner to anyone who wants a peaceful, relaxing base to explore the area. Thanks to the brilliant warden team!

Lovely site, peaceful but there is aircraft noise.

We love this site. It is very peaceful and picturesque. Just a short drive down to Sidbury where there is a free carpark you can catch the bus into Sidmouth, Exeter or to Honiton. A short walk up through a pretty woodland takes you to a very nice pub. There is some aircraft noise, sometimes at night. The showers could do with a bit of updating and the space seems quite small. The curtain does tend to stick to one's body. The staff are fantastic and work very hard to keep the site looking lovely. The toilet block is always spotlessly clean.

Happy Stay

My wife and I had a lovely stay here, you need transport but there are lots of places to visit within reasonable reach, be it coastal or inland. We will certainly come again.

LOVELY SETTING

A very well managed site in a lovely wooded setting which is full of interesting wildlife. You need transport to get around to the many interesting locations in this beautiful area of the countryside. The facilities are right up to standard, and we were lucky to have 4 of the nicest, sunny March days that we can ever remember. The only negative was the arrival of new neighbours who killed off any chance of seeing any wildlife because they sat in their awning from 3.00pm until 10.30pm watching TV at a volume sufficiently loud to be audible even in our closed van! No fault of the site, just an unlucky choice of neighbours on our last day!

First visit for 20 years

We have not visited Putts Corner for many years, and were delighted to be there again, the recent improvements have made this a location not to be missed, from the very friendly greeting from the warden team on arrival, to witnessing their desire to help visitors - when their dog had gone missing in the local woodland, it was straight too it. The whole team are amazing ambassadors for the club, and the provision of sites to members, well done and thank you for that. It was obvious that a lot of work has gone on here, the new toilet block is brilliant, some of the best showers in the club, Putts is in danger of becoming a bigger favourite over Hillhead. The one way system and the tree work have greatly improved the site. The pitches were a good size and well spaced out, our pitch was level so no need of levelling ramps. On one of our two evenings here we had dinner at the Hare and Hounds, the food was excellent, the plaice was the size of a whale and the home made turkey and ham pie was certainly home made and fantastic. There was one major difficulty over the puds which one to chose, and to top t off members get a discount of £1 off main courses. I would advise booking as it was very busy on the Friday night, I guess others are aware of how good this place is. Useful bus service on the main road that provides good access to various parts of East Devon and into Exeter. The weather was not brilliant, typically the sun came out when we were departing! Will definitely be here again, but will not leave it so long. Thanks again to the warden team for a job well done.

Drive over drain

Disappointed to find no drive over motorhome waste drain installed since my previous visit last year. Why? I didn't even try to lift the manhole cover as I didn't want to hurt my back as last year. The money wasted on the idiot rebranding exercise could have paid for proper motorhome drains at every site. Same comment applies to Godrevy Park and Haycraft which I have also recently revisited. A further disincentive to touring in the UK.

Loverly place

Stayed for the weekend and again the site is brilliant. The wardens on arrival were great and very helpful. We have stayed at the site for the last few years at this time of year and it is always so nice when the leaves are changing colour. We will be back next year.

Just brilliant

We have just returned from a stay of 2 weeks at Putts Corner and can only say what a fantastic site this is in all respects. It was the third time we had stayed on this site and as before thoroughly enjoyed all that it has to offer. Great dog walk, immaculate facilities, a peaceful site, convenient for visiting so many places, all fairly close by....Honiton, Sidmouth, Beer, Seaton, Lyme Regis, Exeter, Exmouth, Otterton and so many others. Plenty to visit. And as for the Wardens, they really do go the extra mile. Sue and Mandy are fantastic people, nothing is too much trouble. The ONLY negative is the fact that, while the site used to have wifi, it does not have it now. It is supposed to have a hotspot by I could not locate it. I was rather miffed as, on arrival, I paid for another year’s wifi (how I managed to log on for that I will never know, even the Warden could not understand how I had, but I received an email confirming my payment! But then no more wifi!!!) Perhaps clearly displayed notices in Reception could advise there is no wifi, only a “hotspot” somewhere unknown. But apart from that, a great stay and many more to come, hopefully.

Peaceful attractive site

We visited this site as it was on the route home from a tour of South Devon. We extended our stay as we find it so delightful. Peaceful, no noise, very friendly and helpful wardens who were always ready to chat and give advice when asked. The pub nearby, the Hare and Hounds was very good and we took the wardens advice and booked a table as it gets very busy. All the beach resorts nearby are well worth visiting. We did find that some of the campers seem to think it OK to cut across other peoples pitches to access the toilet blocks with their chemical waste and water containers. After a while it became annoying to have them pass so close to our window. Please, if you have a dog, take it to the dog walking area, not let it use your pitch, or your neighbours' pitch, even if you clear it up, the next camper on your pitch may walk barefoot, or have children sat on the grass. Not a lot the wardens can do, its a pity that some campers just ignore the signs. This is not the only site we notice this happening, and it is 90% owners of small dogs who don't want to walk too far.
