It felt very âhomelyâ and lived in and we were comfortable during our stay. The location was nice as it was basically next door to the pool and gym which we made use of every morning. The staff in the park were helpful and friendly. The location was great to travel to various parts of Dartmoor, Devon and Cornish coast. There is also a large Tesco very near for shopping. The pool was a good size and cleaned everyday. We went in late September and it was not busy at all, most days we had it to ourselves. The gym was also very well equipped and the sauna was a welcome touch. The beds in the accommodation were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We did notice a strange noise coming from the drains and when consulting a plumber friend, they said it probably needed an âair admittance valveâ fitted. Overall we had a lovely time and there was nothing really to complain about, except the road leading out the park was blocked to be fixed one day and we sat for a while until they finished. It was also very nice to have two toilets to use as just one would have been a stretch if there was 6 people. As there were just two of us, we had one each! Thank you for the lovely holiday! :)
