Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Pitches good size. Beautiful views. Lovely hot showers and very clean. Very friendly staff and entertainment on the first night was first class. Good sized pub/entertainment area. Easy access. Already booked again for summer❤️

Disliked: No recycling facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.

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.

Electric gravel touring pitch

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.

Electric gravel touring pitch

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.

Electric gravel touring pitch

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.

Electric gravel touring pitch

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.

Local attractions

This is Agatha Christie country, so if you’re looking to solve the mystery of what to do during your hols, you're sorted here too. Make your way into Torquay a 15-minute drive away for the Agatha Christie Mile – a walking tour of spots that inspired the author – and Kents Cavern, a prehistoric cave that served as Hampsley Cavern in her novel The Man in the Brown Suit. For a glimpse of Christie’s personal life, Greenway House at Brixham is where she spent summer and Christmas hols. If Greenway House whet your appetite for stately homes, zip along to Compton Castle (five minutes) for house and garden tours, or Cockington Country Park (10 minutes) for strolls around the extensive grounds and a glimpse of Cockington Court (now a craft centre). Not enough? Venture further afield for Coleton Fishacre, Buckfast Abbey and the 16-sided A la Ronde, all within 35 minutes. There are plenty of museums, steam trains and model villages nearby to keep history buffs entertained, but those who prefer more of a living and breathing experience should pad over to Paignton Zoo (within 15 minutes) instead.
