We had a lovely two night stay in this small, very pretty campsite. We hired one of their swaledale huts and put up a tent beside it for the kids. The hut was clean and well equipped. The fire pit area was well done. …

Liked: What a peaceful and tranquil site! You are able to choose your own pitches - we were lucky enough to grab an end pitch next to the stream. Plenty of room to spread out! …

Lovely camp site with clearly marked pitches. Camp fire area on each pitch. Shower and toilets are clean and well maintained.The setting is beautiful, nestled in a small valley surrounded by trees, a small brook running through it, no noise pollution.... you couldn't wish for more from a base to explore Dartmoor National Park.Thank you for a lovely break.

Liked: Very picturesque and scenic. The huts are really nice and a campfire for each hut/pitch is a nice touch. We put away our phones and had a real relax. Really liked the fact that the site is very quiet. Also a dark skies spot which is wonderful for star gazing
