We stayed on an ensuite pitch (our third visit) which was spacious, level and had lovely clean facilities. The park is spacious and laid out in separate areas with trees and bushes providing some privacy. The outdoor pool is well maintained and warm with plenty of sun beds. The staff are very friendly and helpful about places to visit. The Tarka trail runs along side the site which is handy for cycling and walking.
We love Smythams, it has something for everyone. Great en-suite pitches, heated pool and perfect location. We return year after year and love staying here.
++ Access to Tarka trail was convenient without having to go onto any roads.Showers and toilets modern and clean.Plots well laid out and level.— — no drying areas when you come back with wet gear after cycling/walking in the rain.Bright lights left on all night which destroyed any enjoyment of a dark sky.Apart from access onto the Tarka Trail no access to wider footpath network.
Very clean and tidy Site, friendly and helpful staff, all facilities were spotless. Really handy for the Tarka Trail and a map provided on request.
Easy access, very quiet when we were there, large level hardstanding pitches, well spaced out. Good access by foot through the estate to theTarka trail, probably OK on a bike if you are fit, but not far to direct access at Torrington. Staff very friendly and helpful, toilet block always super clean. We cycled from Torrington to Bideford and back on the Tarka trail, an almost completely level tarmac track, starting and finishing at a cafe. Not far from RHS Rosemoor. Easy access to many places in North Devon.
Very good service when we arrived, informative and helpful. The toilet block (blue floor) was always very clean and tidy. Our pod was also clean and tidy with everything to a good standard. Only two things I wanted to see in the pod was some coat hooks to hang things up inside the pod and a couple of hooks outside to hang wet coats to dry.Our outside light did not work and It was a bit dark in the evening. Probably could be added to the turn around check. A great stay and I will be coming back soon to try out the outdoor pool,Thank you again
Lovely campsite and great to get straight onto the cycle trail, showers were the best we have had so far, great. Only downfall would have liked it if the bar and food were open thought it would have been was very surprised it was closed but liked the site and can see there was improvements being made to it.
An excellent well kept park with lovely walks. Nice areas for children and the pool will be fantastic when it opens later. Would highly recommend this site
Overall an excellent site, having used the caravan hard standing pitches two or three times. Sanitary facilities are modern and immaculate. Easy access to Tarka Trail for walks and cycling. Not too far from Bideford and North Devon beaches for car trips etc.
We found the facilities very warm and clean. BUT in the Gents it was lacking shaver points and shaver lightning. The washing up machine was a good idea.Very quiet site while we were there.
