Disliked: No recycling facilities.

From the manager: Julie, We only segregate our glass from the general waste as all our general waste gets collected as one and is converted into renewable energy. Our provider is Suez Recycling Services and they have some great videos on their website showing how waste is treated and converted. Whilst this information is contained in our welcome booklet, perhaps we should make this information more readily available on site so that everyone can see we are doing our bit for the environment where we can. Thanks for highlighting this with us.

Liked: Very good site staff friendly facilities in good condition and cleanliness is maintained.
Disliked: If anything it’s a bit remote ….long walk to bus stop.

From the manager: Thank you for writing our first review of the 2024 season and for giving us such good scores. If you return during the busy months we have our minibus operating which will be easier than walking to the public bus stop. In the meantime, keep enjoying your breaks throughout the year and we hope to see you again.

Liked: Very clean facilities & level pitches. Staff were all very friendly & helpful. Liked that it was an adult only site. The site has a minibus which operates mostly during high season to take guests into Paighton & Torquay.
Disliked: Local bus stops were quite a hike away especially if the weather was bad. Site minibus unfortunately stopped running during my stay.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We admire you for travelling solo and you are always welcome here. I'm very pleased you found all the team friendly and helpful and that you felt comfortable staying with us. Pity there were insufficient numbers to keep the bus operating during the full period of your stay but it is a very popular service throughout most of the season.
Excellent site, fabulous facilities, everything you need and more.

Liked: Everything. Such friendly, helpful staff. Great entertainment on site, restaurant was not open but the pizza van and breakfast/ jacket potato van did the trick. Lovely location looking across fields and near to the coast. Loved the enclosed dog park too.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Superb. It looks like you made full use of our facilities and enjoyed yourselves. That's what it's all about. We hope to have The Funky Anchovy Pizza Van back next season. They were lovely. See you again next season.

Liked: Pitch was OK except people next to us didn't seem to know where there pitch was. Bar was good, facilities good.
Disliked: Was a bit disappointed about the duel carriage way but it didn't interfere with anything in the end.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Not sure about your neighbours comments but I'm pleased that it didn't make a difference to you enjoying your stay. Hope to see you again next season.

Liked: All connection requirements. Sizing the unit allows for correct placement on site, I thought at 7.3m we were too long, not the case. Something on at the clubhouse every night. Different guest foods each evening too
Disliked: No bus stop at or immediately in front of site. Walking or short drive to nearest one
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we'll look forward to your return sometime. We appreciate it's difficult not having a bus stop right outside the park which is why we have our minibus. Hopefully you used this service and saved yourselves the short walk to the public bus stop.

Liked: Everything, Widdecombe Farm is an amazing place to stay. It has fantastic amenities and the scenery is fabulous. The staff and people at Widdecombe are brilliant, they are friendly, sociable and genuinely nice people. It was our first visit but it definitely won't be our last. The different food available each night was fantastic especially the Barbecue run by Barry and Kathy. The club was an enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere each night. Our dog was a very popular lady more so than us and she was fussed and treated like the princess she is. Everyone at Widdecombe Farm, thank you for an absolutely wonderful holiday 😀 see you next year 😊
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We're still all having fun on our final week of entertainment in the bar. Wish you could have stayed longer. Some of the fancy dress costumes were brilliant. Keep enjoying touring around and we'll see you next season.
