About Cofton Holidays

Fun-packed family holiday park in the heart of Devon and just a stone's throw away from award-winning Dawlish Warren beach. There is an incredible range of pitches to choose between for campers and tourers alike, all of which allow up to six people. There are non electric grass pitches as well as grass pitches with 10 amp electric hook up for tents and tourers. Tourers then also have the option of a number of different hardstanding pitches depending on your unit length, some of which have the addition of water hook up and waste drainage. Finally, there's also a number of seasonal caravan pitches, static caravan holiday homes and rally fields should you need a little something extra. With superb onsite facilities for all you're sure to never tire of this great site. There are both indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a jacuzzi and entertainment evenings including games and quiz nights and live music. The award winning Amelia's pantry as well as Warren Retreat and Swan Pub are great for meals, and the fishing lakes provide that much needed peace and quiet for those wanting a slightly slower paced holiday. A maximum of two dogs are allowed per pitch, just please make sure they remain on the lead and do not swim in the lakes. Dogs are not permitted in any buildings apart from the Swan Pub, unless they are assitance animals.

VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Campervans - 6m max)Apr 2024

We recently got back from a 4 night stay here in a campervan. We are so glad that we booked this one as the facilities are great, the women's shower block even has a huge deep bath in it, which we didn't expect! Perfect for my fussy 5 year old who doesn't like showers. Everything is kept spotlessly clean. The restaurant is also good, the food was very good. The swimming pool looked lovely, although we never had a chance to go. Staff were lovely, super friendly and helpful showing us to our pitch. The pitches are a great size, kept very clean and spacious between other vehicles. The grounds themselves were absolutely spotless too. The grass was well kept, you can tell that they take good care of everything. All in all, a great campsite! Couldn't fault it. Thank you, Cofton! X

Lovely site and lovely pitch

Very clean and tidy, toilet and shower blocks clean. People were helpful and the food was lovely.

It was great until we were checked out a day early by mistake!

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024

I'll start with the bad bits. Despite paying for a plot and having campsite-wide Wi-Fi, you have to pay a ridiculously extortionate amount for it! Five devices for 3 days is £25, and the signal is very poor if you're on Three. The barriers to access your plot, you have to buzz and ask to be let in, which is fine if the warden is in their kiosk or reception is open. But if not, you have to walk to the kiosk, get the number off the window, call them and ask them to let you in and then wait for them to get back to the kiosk! They should have an ANPR system in place. We were also checked out early and arrived back to our caravan to find no electrical supply and the warden couldn't get us on because they have no access to back office systems. This resulted in us having to leave that night, a day early, at 10pm at night after having to pack in the dark with a single 12v light and we arrived home at 3am. This isn't a typical guest experience, I'm sure. That being said, and yes it was an awful incident but the site is taking it very seriously, everything else about the stay was brilliant. The food was great (albeit a meal for two cost us more than £70 with two pints of diet coke), the staff are lovely and Greg, the warden, is especially so cheerful. A normal person would be furious to find their holiday cut short and having to pack in the dark before driving 210 miles with a caravan on their back but Greg's attitude is so cheerful, it was impossible to remain annoyed. Until we got home very tired and exhausted anyway! But if this incident didn't occur, my review would literally moan about the Wi-Fi cost (it would be great to make it free or include it in the booking fee!) and the barriers situation. Oh, and having to walk to the Warden's kiosk to get the mobile number because it isn't elsewhere. But otherwise, I genuinely had a wonderful time.
