This was where we stayed on our first ever Real Family Holiday, 4 years ago! We had fond memories and we were happy to return. The food was as good as ever and very plentiful, all the staff were wonderful, the beds were comfortable and the showers were hot. Only half an hour drive from beautiful clean sandy beaches, and on another day we made it to Dartmoor and enjoyed a walk there. Gave it 5 instead of 4 stars this time though as I didn’t think the activities were as good – no bat walk this time (we booked and joined one independently at the Start Bay Centre) – and I thought £5 per person, so £15 for me and my two children, for an afternoon’s rock-pooling was a bit steep, especially as we had to organise our own transport there through the narrowest roads ever (this is the only thing I don’t like about this part of the world – my car actually got stuck in a passing place one time and I had to flag down a passing motorist for help). I think it should have been £5 per family not per person, and it would have been much more sensible to take us all en masse in a minibus or two. Also having done all the usual activities at previous holidays it would be nice to see something new, especially more activities geared to older children. We would return, however, for the location, the wonderful staff, and the food!
