First visit to Putts Corner
We had a lovely five night stay at the Putts Corner Site. We arrived in glorious sunshine and received a really warm welcome by the warden. Checking in was straightforward and there were several nice pitches to choose from. The pitch was large, well-kept and had hedges on two sides which afforded some privacy. The site is very well maintained and the facilities very clean. We never had to queue. The wardens obviously take a lot of pride in their work. The information room was open which was helpful. There was a small amount of road noise but this was not a concern for us. The only issue we found is that there was no wifi.
As motorhomers we used the bus service, the bus stop being very close by on the main road. It is a short walk from the site through a wooded footpath. We used to it travel into Sidmouth a couple of times and also a connection from there to travel on to Budleigh Salterton for the day. Sidmouth is a lovely town. We particularly enjoyed watching a local cricket match on a pitch that must have one of the best locations in the county overlooking the sea.
We did walk from the site to Gittisham and Ottery St Mary - very easy on the way there but quite a lot of uphill walking on the way back. We also enjoyed a meal at The Pig in Combe which was lovely.
We can't really comment on whether the site is good for families. It was half term during our stay and there were a few children on site enjoying themselves and they were very well behaved.
