Just back from a rather wonderful, and slightly extended, stay at this great site.
The South East of Devon suffered from the “mini” beast from the east weather phenomenon, which meant a sudden dip in temperatures and several feet of snowfall. The Putts Corner site wasn’t spared from the elements and having arrived at the site on Friday, we soon found ourselves coping coping with freezing temperatures and constant snowfall.
The Wardens here were simply brilliant, welcoming on arrival and incredibly helpful (despite the difficult weather conditions) throughout our stay.
The snowfall continued…. but my wife was particularly happy that the small shop in reception had chocolate in stock…most of which I seem to have purchased over the weekend :)
A word on the site facilities at this point. They are excellent, clean and in very good condition....And, given the weather the heated floor on the amenities block was a real treat.
Usually there’s lots to do in Devon, however the heavy snowfall put paid to any thoughts of visiting anywhere. Nothing for it then, but a visit (or as it turned out, several visits) to the pub... which fortunately is a short walk up the hill on a woodland path signposted from the site. Boots or wellies required of course, but well worth the effort. The Hare and Hounds is really rather good and a great place to have a beer and a meal, especially when the weather is bleak outside! All welcome, including dogs.
By Monday it appeared that we weren’t going anywhere due to the weather and we would have to stay an extra night, something we hadn’t bargained for. Once again the wardens rose to the occasion, and offered to go to the nearest supermarket for supplies as the snowdrifts would have made travel for us an exceptionally difficult endeavour, if not an impossible one. Collecting a few groceries for us using their 4x4 truly was “going over and above” and the staff should be commended.
So, would we come here again. Absolutely. Just in better weather!
