I would plump for Cofton if you want a site in that area. It gets lots of good reviews and is well recommended on here.

I live locally to both of these sites and until recently i would have said stick with Cofton, but Lady's Mile has made changes to it's site recently including a number plate recognition on the entry barrier and they are really making an effort.

Lady's Mile pools, indoor and outdoor are free, where as Cofton's is charged and time is limited to an hour at busy periods, so if you have children who love swimming it can be costly. Put us off a bit!

I went to Cofton in winter in 2009, and liked it then even when most of the add-on's were not available, and it is on my list of sites to visit again.

The facilities that were available during low season were well-kept and maintained.

It offers UKCS members discounts too.

Can be expensive if book late in the season though.

Never been to the other sites, however, I am not interested after reading up about the site owners opted not to receive site feedback etc...

Some of our family stayed at Lady's Mile a few years ago and as we were staying in Brixham at the time, we decided to drive over for a visit. It was very very busy and the pitches seemed to be on top of each other and was very crammed. WE also read some reviews before hand which weren't so good and we were glad that we hadn't been staying there. As said though, it was a few years back..maybe 3 or 4, so it may be better now?

I'm local to both sites too. We have stayed at lady's mile on two occasions and we are impressed with the improvements they've made this season.

Cofton have also made big changes this year and the site and amenities do look better than Lady's Mile.

Lady's Mile offer more 'holiday camp' type entertainment with kids disco etc.

It really depends on what you want from your holiday but I would recommend either site.

Hello. My husband and I and our 11 year old daughter just returned from 10 days at Cofton in our caravan. (Front Field - highly recommend it). We had the same dilemma as you with my husband favouring Lady's Mile and I preferred Cofton. As I booked it, Cofton won! Boy was my husband pleased, not to mention myself.
It does come down to personal choice and one man's meat is another man's poison.
For us, Cofton was a very clean, upmarket site with good facilities, in a valley with lovely views. We stopped at Lady's Mile to have a look and it was definitely not for us - you could look onto the site directly off a main road, too many statics, more like a holiday camp.
Chose Cofton, you won't be disappointed!

Hi, wondered if you could consider leaving a review please for lady's mile, as the facility is now back on for them.
Cheers
