I've just come home from a three night stay at the Devon ValleyHoliday Park in Shaldon, and thought I would share my experience with you.
Location
The holiday park is located just South of the River Teign, and also therefore the town of Teignmouth, in Devon (where the members of the band Muse come from). Devon Valley is six miles from Torquay and 20 minutes from Exeter.
When you arrive at Devon Valley Holiday park, you are greeted by two Devon flags at full-mast at the entrance gates. You pass a number of Chalets before reaching the main buildings, which include the reception, restaurant and pool. The other caravans and chalets are set in little cul-de-sacs, named Farm Way, Valley Way, River Way and Teign Way.
Our Accommodation
Our caravan, number 307, was situated in Teign Way, which was good because it is at the edge so you don't get the noise from the main buildings or from people coming back from the nightly entertainment. As a Shaldon super caravan, it had a living room/kitchen area, a bathroom, a double room and a twin room. It was very clean, well equipped and fairly spacious. I went with my boyfriend and two other friends who are a couple, so one couple had the double room, whilst the other couple used the double sofa bed that folded out in the living room. We also had access to a microwave and a fridge/freezer, which was great because we wanted to be able to cook ourselves rather than relying on the restaurant and takeaway every night.
Why We Chose This Park
I won't lie, the reason the four of us chose this park was because as two couples all aged 19, it was very difficult for us to find accommodation anywhere else. Having a brother in the area led me to look at this holiday park to see whether they would accept us. Upon calling the booking office, they said it would be no problem, and when we arrived, though the receptionist was a bit surprised that we had been allowed to book as 19 year olds, all was well and we were able to enjoy a holiday there.
Our Opinion
We really enjoyed our stay at Devon Valley Holiday Park. It was nice to get away from it all and enjoy the Devon countryside, and be independent for a while. The only problem we had in our caravan was that one of the stools was broken, but luckily there was enough seating around for this not to make any impact. So we would definitely recommend this park to both families (as the facilities are really meant to accommodate adults with fairly young children), and also for smaller, mixed groups of young adults who are not going on holiday purely to get drunk and be a nuisance.
Pricing
For the four of us, staying for 3 nights in a Shaldon Super caravan, it cost £130. That meant that each of us had to pay £32.50 each, meaning that in total we really only spent up to about £60 with food and local attractions included. We felt this was fantastic value, and have recommended it to our friends and families.
