What a gem of a site - fabulous holiday

As previously advised - don't follow sat nav - the best approach is advised in your handbook. Wardens - very friendly and happy bunch. Site split into two - we were in the lower half and didn't venture over to the other toilet and shower block but our facilities were clean at all times, great water flow and hot. Great information point and reception. Fish and chip van comes and a Caribbean food chap another night (we didn't eat from either but looked good). We tend to go everywhere on our bikes once we are on site and managed everywhere we wanted to go but it is very hilly. Most of the roads are small but quite well used and local drivers a tad crazy in the narrow lanes! Greenway (holiday home of Agatha Christie) and Coleton Fishacre (Art Deco) both NT were both fabulous and have bike parks and lockers. We cycled to the upper ferry and took it over to Dartmouth (the Sloping Deck, Duke Street is a really quirky tea room and super welcoming) as well as to Brixham (cycled around it and didn't stop. We didn't like Paignton I'm afraid - very tacky and a bit run down, but if you like amusement arcades and seaside stuff it will suit you just fine. We did have coffee on route to Torre Abbey in the Recliffe hotel (far end of the sea front) which has it's own private beach side patio and was very accommodating. There is a cycle route from Paignton to Torquay as the roads are very busy. Torre Abbey was the only place we visited there but it was a very worthwhile visit - very interesting art collection and beautiful gardens. Totnes is sweet and very motorhome friendly if you find Steamer Quay - again easy reach for cycling or walking. You can of course do the steam railway, boat and bus round robin - we have done that before many years ago and lots of other places that were not on our list this visit - like Buckfastleigh and Dartmoor. Stoke Gabriel is also very sweet. There are lots of walks and I would think walking cross country to Greenway wouldn't be too far. There is a ferry you can catch to take you over to the other side or down to Dartmouth but you need to check the times. The site is well established, lots of lovely hedges and pitches are well spread out. There was mobile signal no problem. We only stayed for four nights as we had to get back but if I had the choice I would have stayed longer and will return one day. Massive thumbs up to these hard working wardens who look after the site so well. Thank you.
