Arrived at Devon Valley last week. We were greeted by friendly & helpful staff at reception. As caravan free we were allowed in straight away. Our caravan was lovely & clean when we walked in. We had a lovely week using the pool most days & the restaurant,plus take away at times. Thank you all for making our stay great, the staff deserve the praise. We did not find anyone grumpy everyone was friendly & we shall be back again next year.

My family and I have been visiting Devon Valley Holiday Village for approx 10 years. This year our holiday was from 5th - 9th April 2010.
Once again a fantastic time was had again. We will be booking again for October of this year and have already booked for June 2011.
My kids range from 16 to 5, and they enjoy every minute of their holiday and wish that they could live there.
Entertainment is fantastic the entertainers work very hard entertaining both kids and adults.
Accomodation has been renewed and is now very modern.
Visit you won't regret it!

We visited Devon Valley in August 2009 (got a last minute deal). We had a FANTASTIC Time, caravan was clean and comfortable (shaldon super), the park was very clean and had plenty to offer my two children ages 2 and 3.
The food in the Boat House was average, we did not eat from the takeaway.
Ive got to say the entertainment team was great, they where top class, great with all the kids, DV and Morris Minor are legends in my kids eyes!!
We didnt manage to see the Acts after the kids show as my 2 little ones where worn out.
I won the pool comp, so we got a free holiday in October!! Our second visit
was as good as the first.
Would i visit Devon Valley again- OH YES.
See you soon DV...............

Fun for all the family, including teenagers! All staff are lovely and helpful and amazingly friendly! We have visited 4 times in the last year or so and love it more each time. Already have the next break booked for later this year! We have stayed in a variety of accommodations and have been happy with them all. We have been to many other sites in the UK over the years (Haven, Park Resorts) and have never wanted to return again but there is something about Devon Valley that makes it special for us and indeed many other families who return year after year! Can't wait for our next visit, in fact we would quite happily live there!!

We will definitely be booking at this site again next year having just returned from a very enjoyable 3 day stay - I don't know if the chalets are as good as the caravans but they looked fine from the outside. I personally was very glad that our caravan was right up at the top of the slope away from the entertainment centre and the sports court which had high metal link fencing all the way around with the result that if you had a caravan right opposite this court all you would hear is the ball bashing the fence every 2 seconds which would probably drive you mad! Where we were was very quiet indeed but could be tricky if you are disabled etc - it isn't really a hill as such - but had me puffing a bit but I certainly wouldn't come into the fit category by any stretch of imagination! The majority of people could almost run up it and not notice.
I was concerned having read one of the other reviews that the staff may be less than helpful but they were either unlucky or we were lucky as without fail, from the restaurant staff to the reception staff everyone was very polite, happy and helpful at all times.
Very nice break and loads of other things to do nearby - we visited the small animal zoo in Shaldon which was very interesting and took the ferry over to Teignmouth where we spent the day on the pier etc.
I would definitely do self-catering some of the time when we go next year. The restaurant is not over-priced at all but when you are on a limited budget it soon adds up if you eat there all the time.
I thought the take-away was a good alternative - fish and chips were about £4:50 and you could either take them back to the caravan or eat them at one of the many picnic tables overlooking the river.
Lovely break.

Two fantastic weeks just spent at Devon Valley, weather was brilliant. The accommodation on arrival was clean and tidy and spacious, we were in a sloop budget villa. Each unit has its own car parking space outside. The beds were very comfortable and bathroom bigger than the one at home. The lounge had a double bed settee, 2 armchairs and a breakfast table and chairs and the kitchen kitted out with cooker and fridge. Both bedrooms were big and we had plenty of storage and hanging space for our clothes. All amenities were within a short stroll ( 2 minutes max ). The site was not too hilly and it wasn't too much effort with the pushchair. Entertainment was the morris minor kids character, which our kids loved, and resident entertainment team and visiting cabarets. The indoor swimming pool was warm and clean and had a lifeguard on duty. The restaurant, which overlooked the river, was of a good standard and reasonably priced and it was nice to look out onto the river while you had your dinner or had a drink. Also on site was a launderette, all weather sports pitch,childrens adventure playground, under 5's soft play area, amusement arcade, takeaway and shop. The entertainment team would also have activities for the children during the day. We would fish or crab every night once the tide was in so take your crab lines as the crabs love bacon. The site is approx 1 mile from shaldon village and can be walked. All in all it was probably the best holiday we have ever had as a family as the site was excellent and it was sunny every day. We would definitely go back again and would recommend Devon Valley to anyone.
