Was at this site in July/August and I found it very clean and well kept.

Facilities were spotless and cleaned everday. Showers were spot on.

Also have WIfi which is good if u want your laptop.

Roads around the site are a bot closer than what you see on the map but they site you if you asked. 

I found the roads around Paignton/Torbay etc very busy and the good beech is Blackpool sands near Brixham.  Mind not that we had time to use it with the weather !

Recomended site mind.

Mark why not submit a proper review to the Webmasters that can be published under the site's name for prospective visitors to see?

Agree this is a top site and I have also submitted a review on it.

Well worth sharing your thoughts with a published review

I have stayed at Dornafield and thought it was a lovely site too.

Stayed at Dornafield 6 years ago, it was a great site then too, let down only by it's location near the un-picturesque Newton Abbot. But the site itself was top-class.

Also agree Dornafield is a good site. However, people should be that the very narrow road leading to the site can cause problems (it did for us).

Personally, we found Ross Park, just up the road, a better site.

Cheers.

The CL Old Orchard is up the same road and not as far as Dornafield and we found the road a bit difficult, a good site once you are on it though and a fraction of the price of the others mentioned (only ehu and cwd though, which we prefer).

I know there is no fishing at Dornafield itself, but are any of you aware of any coarse fishing lakes in the area? A friend has recommended it but hubby will only go if there is fishing locally.
Thanks

I suspect Mark61 felt he was posting a review of the site.  A not uncommon occurance on this forum!  Perhaps a shake-up of the initial view of the website and a  consideration of where people initially see the subject that is uppermost in their minds?

I think Mark61 was posting a review of the site in the correct place as he saw it. Perhaps a shake-up of the forum headings and listings are a good idea as it isn't always obvious what you should tell people about the minute you want to tell them!
