Will stay there again.
With relatives close by, we needed a suitable site in order to attend a wedding. Linda and I usually much prefer to use CLs rather than club sites, not only for economy, but because we like to keep away from others and better yet, be alone in a field.
Stover is only 5 minutes from Bovey Tracey (if it wasn't for the road works) and that suited us perfectly. It is not too far from Newton Abbott with several supermarkets to choose from and all the other facilites and attractions there. Trago Mills is only a mile away (you could walk if you were not going to buy anything heavy) and includes a Co-Op with cheap fuel. We tried the Mill shop which is a source of cheap everything, but huge and unattractive. The check-out queues resulted in us dumping the things we though we might buy, and we couldn't get out quick enough.
It would be a good visit for family entertainment though.
The site is well laid out, with a choice of grass or hard pitches and a plethora of service points. You will never be very far from the water and waste. Of course, there is no toilet block which to us is preferable. No morning parade of people in their night clothes.
There is some road noise, the road alongside the site is a busy one. This includes sirens at intervals as it is a main route. However, the noise quietens at night and is never unacceptable due to the dense trees between the site and the road. There is lots of bird song and many owls. We had a toad take up residence under the awning (breathable) groundsheet.
All in all, a very relaxed and happy stay, and we will stay there agin when visiting relatives nearby, especially during the busy times when the CLs are all too full.
