The patches well they fine not problem there really the places was tidy and well look after in places, i would go back but not for bit i have email them about the baby side and we see if taken note. ]]> Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:45:55 -0600 1401-142 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1401-haven-meadows-yurt-camp.html The yurts are in a beautiful setting, really tucked away from the world. For a group of adult friends, if you hired all 3 yurts together (and if they had different beds in them) it would be great. We were a party of 7, squeezed into a yurt which would comfortably sleep 4. I really wish the owners had said to me when I enquired about booking that there really wasn't space for 7 of us. Having stayed in other yurts in Devon, I can tell you these are not luxury yurts as it suggests on the web site. The most unfortunate thing about our stay was the beds. They were soooo uncomfortable. The owners have chosen to buy cheap futons with very thin mattresses, through which we could feel every single wooden slat of the base. I was woken up every time I turned over,by the discomfort. I came home with slight bruising to both hips - not the kind of holiday memories you hope for. On the plus side.... The compost toilet was fantastic, really loved it. Liked the eco friendly aura of the place too. What can I say? Get some different beds, stop calling this a luxury yurt holiday, and lower your prices to reflect this. I have paid £100 a night to stay in yurts which were bigger, had more privacy and had fixed, really comfortable beds. There is potential for these yurts to offer people a great get away, with just a few changes. ]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:17:21 -0600 1401-140 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1401-haven-meadows-yurt-camp.html This site is for the serious back to nature visitor. we visited with 5 children and stayed in the largest yurt, it was a different experience and the yurt looked nice but would not recommend it for young children. The site prefers visitors without cars but with 5 kids and all the baggage that goes with them this was not an option and unfortunately we had to park away from the yurts and lug all our bags over to the yurt in the rain. Because we arrived after 7pm due to accident on the motorway, we were not greeted by the owners and never saw anyone the whole time we were there. We had only 1 tiny solar powered light and candles, it was hard to unpack and get the kids ready for bed and make up beds in such dim light. The Futon beds were the worst beds I have ever slept on and had an awful 2 nights sleep, you could feel every wooden slat through the mattresses. The compost toilet wasn't as bad as I expected but was abit of a jaunt in the pitch black and wet, we were constantly changing the kids clothes and shoes as the grass is long in the field. You wouldn't know that you were on a farm apart from the sheep in a nearby field but we have been there and done it but won't be doing it again. The only difference to this and proper camping was the fact that you haven'tt got to put your own tent up. Give me my airbed any day ! This should be advertised as not for the faint hearted. ]]> Sun, 17 Jul 2011 19:18:51 -0600 1380-137 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1380-stowford-farm-meadows-.html My wife and i arrived at stowford farm meadows on Mon 25,April 2011. Befor we had checked in to the reception, my wife had a fall(this later we found to be a stroke).The help and assistance we recived from all members of staff was really everything i could have wished for.I could could go on about how wonderful you all were but i think anyone reading this will know just how thankful we both are for that extra service you provided in our time of need. Once again A BIG THANK YOU, i will always recomend Stowford farm Medows to anyone looking for that little bit extra. ]]> Sun, 08 May 2011 11:39:51 -0600 1380-129 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1380-stowford-farm-meadows-.html Myself and my parents visit the site often as we have family there. We stay in a caravan on a large pitch with an auning and we still have lots of room on the pitch even with the car. We have only ever stayed in field 4 the block it very big and clean but it can get cold in the early months because the doors dont shut. The activities and stuff are good they have 3 parks, heated inside pool, petorama (a hude indoor barn where you can get up close and personal with the animals like rabbits), crazy golf and my favourite the riding stables. They offer hacks and lessons for all ages and abilities, at a cheap price and for different time ranges from 1/2 hour to 4 hours. I am an experienced rider and i strongly recommend the 1, 2 and 4 hour hacks where you trot and canter and gallop! buts its optional if you want you can just walk. The horses are really nice and friendly and love a good groom!! The owners of the stables David and his partner are very nice and understanding and all th staff are very experienced. the staff are really nice i know them all really well as my grandparents work there they are more than happy to help with any of your problems from collapsed aunings to escaping tortoises (yes tht really happened) and they will quite often say hello wen they are doing there jobs around the site The on site shop is very useful we buy some of our groceries there its very good price and sells everything, the chipy is really good the food is sensational and if you go you just have to try a battered mars bar! it doesnt sound nice but give it a try you might like it. Often in high season the chippy is packed at around teatime (5-7pm) so you might want to get in there early overall its a brilliant site perfect for families like mine and really fun and enjoyable! very clean and tidy and i really really recommend you visit there to have the time of your life Beth Bolton ]]> Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:17:55 -0600 1082-73 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1082-leadstone-camping.html we have had many years of camping in uk but this is one of the best sites we have stoped at 9.5/10 all round ]]> Wed, 12 May 2010 21:13:41 -0600 1086-50 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1086-moor-view-touring-park.html Excellent site. Cleanest shower block you will ever find. Not so dog friendly, one small circular walk. Not very child friendly, no seperate area for ball games.. Suit the older camper. Shop very limited in stock, no fresh bread, no pasties.. ]]> Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:15:15 -0700 1076-49 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1076-woodland-springs-touring-park.html We found the site clean and tidy reception was good.Dog area was not fenced in. The gates were locked between 11pm and 8.00am. The pitch was quite small and our veiw was restricted to the next caravan, if the site had been full then all views would be lost. There were no shops, bar or restaurants onsite. The nearest pub was 1.5 miles away. The nearest shop to our knowledge was approx 5 miles. ]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:36:49 -0700 1072-48 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1072-river-dart-country-park.html Wow what a fantastic site!!! Acres of beautiful wooded or landscaped areas, and so many amazing things to do for children.....and us big kids. Clean shower/toilet blocks and everything we needed on site. Kids had a great time and so did we. ]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:47:31 -0700 1069-47 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/41-devon/1069-ladys-mile-holiday-park.html On arrival we parked beside the reception area and booked in. The staff in reception were friendly and helpful. We set up on one of the relatively flat ,large, pitches. There were 2 large shower/toilet blocks, but very little hot water in the block near reception, and a separate toilet block. The childrens play area was well equiped and central. They have a large bar/nightclub with free entertainment most evenings and just beside that is a reasonable takeaway. The onsite shop was well stocked especially with camping and caravan accessories. There is a large indoor heated pool and an outdoor pool both with slides and both with lifeguards.The site itself is large, clean, and very easy to get to, with a field put aside for campers. ]]> Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:17:08 -0700
