Good overnight stop

The site slopes quite a bit but you can find level pitches. Unfortunately we arrived later than anticipated and very tired so took one of the first pitches we found not realising that it was close to the road. We would have done better had we driven round more. There is a very good pub just up the road, you can walk through the woods from the site and come out opposite it, this saves having to go up the road. The toilets and showers were very clean and the staff could not have been more helpful, we had to ring them on our way down as we knew we would be late but that did not cause them any problems. We only stayed one night so did not explore the area, but I don’t think there any good walks or bicycle routes, having a motorhome we need these.

Welcoming site

Driving round looking for a pitch it looks lovely but trying to actually choose a place was more difficult. A lot of the pitches are sloping or,have overhanging trees (some very shady indeed). In rainy weather the grass pitches get very soggy. If you have a motor home, please don't drive over the grassed areas, the ruts left by one motor home carelessly driving round instead of bothering to reverse were deep and will take some repairing. The loos/showers are warm and clean. The reception and information well stocked and welcoming. Although it's quite a busy site with lots of coming and going it still manages to be quiet and peaceful (at least out of school holiday when we were there). Our only big complaint is the non-existent Wi-Fi. In the ten days we stayed, despite persistent attempts each morning and evening, I only managed to log on twice and only able to actually use it once for ten minutes before it crashed. Do not pay for it. It doesn't really exist. Seaton Electric Tramway was an unexpected treat and Forde Abbey well worth the visit. We learned not to order main meals anywhere. They were always very generous - Devon people obviously have big appetites!

Not the best

Not a very welcoming. First words. "Can I have your membership card please". Not "have you had a good journey". The site was very full. We got there about 1.30pm and was told 12 units had already arrived and had not told the wardens the pitch number. So we had to drive round looking for a decent level pitch. the only one we found was near the entrance under trees, so that we never saw the sun.. There seemed to be more dogs than people. Trees need cutting back. To go out of the site you have to drive round half the site and when you get to the exit, there is nowhere to park to return the key. The three pitches near the entrance need to be moved so that people could park and look for a pitch. So but will not be going back there. The title of the club should now be The Caravan, Motorhome and Dog Club

Lovely site

This site was our first visit and the welcome was very friendly by the warden. The majority of non serviced pitches were under tree canopy. The toilet block was spotlessly clean. I'd agree with others that it's best to come down the M5 to the A30 Honiton off junction as it's dual carriageway all the way to Honiton then two or three miles towards Sidmouth to the site. The grass pitches up the onside you'll probably need levelling blocks. All in all a tidy clean site. Shame some members don't keep an eye on their mid teenage offspring.

Putts Corner

We had another good 10 night stay here as we expected, the wardens are good and always friendly. The toilet and shower blocks are brilliant and the Hare and Hounds pub is good for food and drink best to book on Sunday carvery. Agree with other review that some club members disrespect the 5 mph limit shame on you if reading this. Will be returning here again.

Putts Corner - trees & WiFi

As mentioned by other reviewers the trees surrounding and on the site could do with some severe pruning and it can be a bit of a lottery to find a reasonably sunlit pitch if that is your desire. As regards the WiFi - I think its described as 'bronze' - well if thats 'bronze', its very tarnished ! So to sum up for those that like a bit of a flutter there are two lotteries (i) finding a vacant sunlit pitch and (ii) gaining Wifi access Other than that we enjoyed our visit

Putts Corner Review

Nice site, though trees could do with pruning, and cutting back, especially in height.  There are two toilet blocks, the site was full whilst we were there, and the blocks proved adequate for the size of the site. As is becoming the norm, a few dogs of leads where seen on site. The site mangers where friendly, helpful, and approachable. Many roads in this area are not up to the amount of traffic they have to take.  The area is a bit of a mishmash of nice parts, and not so nice parts Which leads to the nice part being more like ant invaded territory, with no where to park, unless you get up early, to catch some worms .

Twos more then one

Great site to base yourself to explore Devon.

We stayed here for nine nights on pitch 71. This is a great site which is a credit to the wardens who run and maintain it. As with all club sites the standard of the facilities is high and it is a very pleasant site to stay at. It has a short dog walk on site through a wooded area and there is another path at the top of the site that leads directly to the Hare & Hounds pub. Just be aware that these dog friendly areas are adjacent a road that can be busy at times and there is no fence between them. The Hare & Hounds is one of the most Dog friendly pubs you will find, the food, carvery and drinks are very reasonable but if you wish to eat there it’s worth booking as it gets very busy. Some of the grass pitches at the top of the site slope a fair bit and some of the hard standings on the right as you enter are quite small and the serviced pitch area seems a bit crammed as well. There are lots of towns and beaches within easy driving distance and lots to see and do. On Wednesdays & Fridays the wardens also take orders for and collect Fish & Chips if ordered earlier in the day. The site office/shop has a good stock of essentials and other items and also takes orders for newspapers which is handy. The nearest shop is a large Tesco about 2 miles towards Honiton which has everything you could need and a fuel station. There also appeared to be a very good bus service a short walk from the site. We also discovered towards the end of our stay, if you turn right as you leave the site there is a NT wood on the left after about a mile with some beautiful walks and views over the countryside. Would we stay there again, absolutely, without question. A big Thank You to the four wardens who run the site and look after their visitors so well.

One of the Best

We have just returned from our second stay this year at Putt's Corner. We returned because we had enjoyed our first visit.It is the ideal location for visiting this part of Devon. The Jurassic coast,the Blackdown Hills and Exeter are on the door step. Add to that the setting, the refurbished facilities, the pub on the doorstep and the cheerful and helpful staff and you have one of the best sites in the network. There is a Tesco store in Honiton, a very good Sainsburys and a good variety of shops including a craft baker, 2 butchers and a fishmonger in Ottery St Mary, and a Waitrose in Sidmouth. Buses run hourly into Sidmouth from a request stop opposite the pub.

A lovely site

This a lovely site. The wardens were very helpful and had answers to all of the questions we had. I marked 3 for the families bit because there isn't a lot for kids to do on site, but that's the case with most of the club sites. The road is close by so if you are next to it, then you might be disturbed by it but it's not like an A road. The aeroplanes are noisy, but there aren't many of them at unsocial times. Getting there from the North? As advised earlier, go all the way down to J28 of the M% and turn left to Honiton and then take the Sidmouth road. Some members drove too quickly around the site despite the 5mph signs. It's as if they didn't want to use 1st gear. One was towing as they came past our outfit doing at least 10mph! All that said, it's a great site. We will go again.
