hot week in devon

Had a lovely week in Devon , wardens very helpful even under pressure. Very hot week plenty of places to visit Beer is very quaint spent a day on beach. Hare and hounds pub close to site very nice food especially the puddings best to book very good that you can take dogs in a certain part of the pub instead of having to site outside and eat. Only slight down side is the planes from Exeter airport which do continue to fly over at night. Some roads are very tight and other drives don't slow down had a couple of close encounters. Ottery St Mary has very good Sainsbury's only short distance from site will be back.

lovely site to visit

we stayed here 16th July for a week, lovely quiet site, up to the usual caravan club standards of cleanliness, the wardens were operating on their own but still found plenty of time to chat and be friendly, never gave any indication they were too busy to give a little time, the Hare and Hounds pub is 200 yards away ( a short walk thru the trees ) always busy, try the carvery and you'll see why !! excellent value for money.... we'll visit again ...enjoy

Love Putts Corner - what a great site

This was our third visit to the site and you can not fault the wardens, they are friendly, super kind and always have time to help if you need it - they are a total credit to the Caravan Club. The site is really clean and really well kept and established with hedging and trees. There are two toilet blocks both of which are modern and as I said very clean. There is a good dog walk through the woods and the pub can be accessed through another path so you don't have to go on the road (although we didn't use the pub this time). 4 stars for peace and quiet as the site is next to a fairly busy road that quietened off at night and directly below the flight path for Exeter airport so you do get some plane noise - neither thing bothered us but it wouldn't be fair if I didn't mention this. 4 stars for location only because you really have to get in your car to go anywhere - it's a little way out of Sidmouth which is approached down a steep hill - so cycling down would be ok but back would be really tricky, it is also a windy road and a fast road for the cars. A plus side on the location is you can travel around really easily if you do use your vehicle and are central for many wonderful places. Do visit the donkey sanctuary which is FREE - you pay a donation and has a lovely shop and coffee shop. Beer is pretty and there is parking. Sidmouth is wonderful. There is a car park at Sidbury (turn left at the cross roads and then 20 yards on the right is the car park - note height restricted to about 2.0m) which accesses the Byes which you can ride you bike or walk - it's just over 2 miles into Sidmouth and all off road and through countryside and park - it's lovely and well worth doing, but just be careful of the height restriction on the car park. If you go into Sidmouth head to the main beach car park (which is on the right side of Sidmouth) - there is loads of space for bigger vehicles. Cross the road and enjoy the wonderful floral display in the park and enjoy tea and the hugest bit of cake in the Tower Tea room. Safe bathing in the sea on this beach and part of it is dog friendly during the summer. The Riveria Hotel has a fabulous terrace on the sea front (about half way along) which serves morning coffee and afternoon tea/lunch etc, you pay a little more but you are served beautifully and it's a stunning location. Exe Valley way is great to cycle - note the Topsham ferry says bike friendly but it's a bit tricky getting your bikes on. Topsham to Exmouth lovely - the Imperial Hotel at Exmouth does a nice lunch too. Pretty place. Topsham to Exeter not so pretty ! Exeter to Dawlish pretty. Massive shopping centre at Exeter and interesting historical part. Steam railway at Buckfast to Totnes lovely - Totnes quaint and very nice. Budleigh Salterton - lovely, stony beach but safe bathing, a few shops in town, river walk to Otterton Mill, good parking for motor homes. Coast path walking is stunning. Great holiday will be back!

Little Gem

Friendly staff, immaculate facilities, good pub 5mins walk away, bus stop at pub to take you to Sidmouth, Honiton and all along the Jurassic Coast if needed; whats not to like. Top pitches can be noisy with adjacent road but not enough to spoil the overall peace and quiet.

Lovely site, with a few drawbacks

Lovely, peaceful site, but as others have said it needs more service points. When we arrived, there were very few pitches to choose from and nearly all of them were under the trees, which badly need trimming back. I wonder if the trees have anything to do with the dreadful wi-fi. I need to used disabled facilities, but one morning a boiler didn't work, so I had to walk a long way to the other block, where I couldn't use the shower because I need to sit down and the only seating was much too low. The 2nd toilet block would benefit from a modified cubicle. Having said all this, we had a lovely holiday and the wardens were hard-working, friendly and helpful. As others have said, the Hare and Hounds pub does very good meals, reasonably priced.

Putts Corner

Wardens very friendly and helpful. Facilities lovely and clean. Locality superb, plenty to see and visit nearby, the Hare & Hounds pub serves very good food. The site could do with another service point or two, can be quite a haul to collect and empty the water and waste. The least said about the wi-fi the better, poor and slow. We believe the finest cream tea's are found in Newton Poppleford at the "Southern Cross" delicious!!

Great Location

My wife, son and I enjoyed a really lovely break here for two weeks in early July. A lovely site excellently managed by the team of hard-working friendly wardens who were always positive and helpful. A fabulous location to visit some beautiful villages and towns nearby together with several National Trust properties. The Hare and Hounds is a very busy but good pub - you must book for the Sunday carvery they serve up to 1000 meals on that day - but the standard remains high. We enjoyed the Dairy Café in Sidmouth for good coffee and cream teas and a nice selection of Deli items. We also particularly enjoyed visits to Branscombe, Beer Quarry caves and NT Knightshayes. A good holiday - Sandringham next.

Excellent site, shame about speeding members

Stayed at this site during beginning of July for 9 nights. Wardens gave warm welcome & were helpful throughout our stay. Site very much surrounded by trees but if your lucky there are very nice pitch's in the open. Facilities excellent. One downside is the speed members drive thru' the site & sadly the majority of these reckless & thoughtless people were shall were say the more mature members of the club who really should know better!!!!

Lovely site shame about the dog(s)

Nice site well maintained. It was unfortunate that there were dogs, or a dog barking until late at night, the owner(s) obviously had no regard for others on the site. Bus No 9 to Sidmouth or Honiton run every hour. This is a busy, and for our four nights noisy site, in fact we only stayed 3 nights we could not wait to get away and get a good nights sleep. We did not report it to the wardens as the noise was obvious to everyone on site and we assume the warden live on site?

Great for a weekend away

Nice site with clean and tidy facilities. Very friendly and helpful wardens. Wi-Fi and mobile phone reception very poor. one downside is that the site is under the flightpath of Exeter airport, so occasional aircraft noise. the nearby Hare and Hounds pub does great food and rather good local cider!
