About the site


This is a splendid spot to settle in for lots of Devon hotspots: you can walk to the Big Sheep theme park (or stroll to the local pub, five minutes away…), and a short drive gets you to places like Westward Ho! beach or to Barnstaple to hit the Tarka Trail. And, of course, you'll want to allocate some time to the fab range of antics organised by the site: several different adventure activities will be available to book during your stay, including climbing, high ropes, an assault course, kayaking and paddleboarding. There's a whopping 35 acres of space to play with here, so there is plenty of scope to play games or take strolls around the lake. Dogs are welcome on site, so feel free to bring them along for your Devon break here.

The site is open for weekends and school holidays between March and November.
