Nice site, disappointed with the lack of welcome, instead of "Welcome to site" we had "Only one person at a time" even though we were 5 metres away from her at the table blockade, and there was only my wife and myself around, both wearing masks & rubbing in hand sanitizer. We were directed to the pitch by very helpful man, new to site, he welcomed us, gave us lots of walking guides and got the local taxi number, he was approachable and helpful throughout stay with our many questions of directions with the local maze of lanes. The site is very well kept and very spacious, there are good rules in place and it is in a good location for Sidmouth (when hopper bus available for hill back to site!!) and the wonderful Donkey sanctuary. The smaller communal toilet block was very busy at peak times, we preferred the larger (male/female) block, which are possibly due a revamp with very cramped showers. That said, we will hopefully return, just thought we would provide our point of view to help the owners and the customers.

Dear Paul Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review following your visit. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and are planning to return. We are sorry that you found our Covid-19 controls unfriendly but that is not the intention as our prime objective is to keep everybody safe. Our very clear signage at the reception clearly states only one person in reception at a time and that includes people wearing masks. The cordoned off public area is there to maintain a safe distance for my staff and we can assure you that we are finding it difficult too as the guidelines change. There is no point in having controls if you do not enforce them and regretfully the first words have to be “one person at a time please” when there has been an oversight as there are seconds before a person enters the building. I am pleased that my wardens we’re helpful and that you otherwise enjoyed your stay. Regards Mark

Very warm welcome, all protocols in place for social distancing. Showers and toilets, although quite old, were very clean and showers were great with instant hot water at a perfect temperature. All staff friendly and helpful. Pitches are good size and well kept. Would highly recommend if you want a peaceful holiday in a very pretty area.

Beautifully maintained grounds with excellent facilities. Our caravan electric pitch was located near the Meadow shower/toilet block which was immaculately clean at all times. It always felt secure and safe,even for those late night trips to the loo and shower! We were looking for a quiet site with plenty of space for our little one who is 3 years old and visually impaired. She and even our teenagers enjoyed the open green space and the play area which was maintained well. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and we could see that they really worked hard to keep the site safe. Although we did not have great weather, we managed lots of walks and even braved it down the coastal path to the local beach which is secluded and picturesque (not a journey for the faint-hearted as involved lots of steep steps!) The site is close enough to local towns such as Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis, although you are advised to arrive to these places early (school holidays!) as we were unable to find parking and returned back to the site. The shop onsite is equipped with the necessary amenities and all in all we had a really good break here, despite the poor weather. We look forward to booking at Salcombe Regis again in the future and would like to thank you for your hard work and ensuring the guests feel at home.

We have stayed here on and off for 3 seasons. Of the 3 big caravan sites around Sidmouth this is the most basic but that’s what we wanted. It is also set back from the main road so it quieter. The 2 main staff members - Glennis and Steve are truly wonderful people and part of the reason we kept coming back. The owners however we found to be rude and unfriendly, from the few conversations we had on site to emails sent. Surprising as they are business men you think they would understand that the softer aspects of the service industry’s buy loyalty. The site is clean and great for young kids as many caravan pitches in the top field surround a large play area. That said the main toilets are very dated and a little dirty, the WiFi is very expensive and on 2 occasions when we were staying there in poor weather we were asked to turn off non Essential electrical items off as the site could not cope and was only 1/3rd full. Tje play area is very old and a little dangerous for young kids due to poor repair. The new shop is well stocked and walks to salcombe mouth and the donkey sanctuary are lovely. With less interaction from the owners and a little investment this site would be excellent.

Responded 24 Feb 2020
Dear Peter Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted that you have chosen our site over our competitors in the area and that Steve and Glennis continue to excel in the job they love. Steve is a little disappointed that you feel that the toilet block is dirty as he works tirelessly to ensure that is not the case. Your comment does however contradict so many of the 5***** positive reviews on this site and it is a shame that it has taken you 3 years to mention it. We wish to keep the site traditional as a first class touring Park and have no plans for a club house or swimming pool as that would not suit our demographic audience. We offer plenty of space for children to run, ride their bikes and play. The small play area is well received by most of our visitors and in line with Health and Safety and our continual risk assessments, it is checked weekly and maintained accordingly. Children love the authenticity and simplicity of the play area and again we are surprised that it has taken you 3 years to raise an issue - especially as you always requested a pitch close to the play area so that your children can enjoy the facility. The Park has been in existence since 1945 and some of the infrastructure is 100% safe but has its limitations. The electricity supply was provided when there was very little demand for power but as caravans and motorhomes have improved and technology grown, the power requirement has grown beyond all expectations. The system will more than cope during Sidmouth Folk week when we have over 500 customers on site, but during inclement weather - particularly early in the season it can overload the Western Power Supply (not ours). It comes with customers putting on heaters, kettles, toaster, microwaves etc all at the same time and it becomes too much for the system and a safety fuse will blow which only Western Power can replace. To combat this during cold weather, we always politely ask customers to be considerate in their usage and usually it is understood and accepted. Wi-fi is run by an independent company that have invested considerably in providing excellent coverage in all areas of the Park. Sadly it comes at a cost and therefore they have to charge in order to recoup their investment. I have been advised by many other traveller that the charges are is in line with other parks. We have invested heavily in the Park since our ownership (In excess of £300,000) and are delighted that we have increased our AA rating from 3 pennants to 5 pennant Gold! We are continuing to invest and from our trip advisor rating and positive comments we are offering an excellent service. My wife and I are sorry that you find us rude. It is not a term that we are used to hearing as again it is contrary to what we strive to achieve here at Salcombe Regis. I have investigated as to why you feel that is the case, and in particular I have read the emails to which you refer. We are so so sorry that we have embarrassed you by very politely asking you to settle your well overdue account with us despite many reminders. All of our customers generally pay a deposit upon booking and the balance of their holiday 28 days prior to arrival - it is a tried and tested system that has been in place for a number of years. We apologise that we cannot amend our well publicised terms and conditions just for you as that would total undermine having them in the first place. Quite simply - we need our customers to pay us if we are to continue investing in the Park and 99.9999999% of our customers appear to accept that principle. If this business ethic is difficult for you to accept and regarded by you as rude then I have to accept full responsibility and take it on the chin. Fortunately we seldom have to ask customers more than once to fulfil their contractual obligation. Up to the point of asking you to pay your overdue accounts - it sounds like you had a lovely time for the past 3 years at Salcombe Regis. May we take this opportunity to wish you all of the very best in your travels elsewhere in the South West. Kind regards Mark Langdown

Bked for 2 wks. Recpt; Glennis, extremely helpful, polite & patient. Expected a clean, mod static; it was aged & in need of tlc. Welcomed to the smell of must & mildew. We would guess it had been locked up due to 'lockdown', literally just reopened. Asked for a hoover, one in the van didn't work. Took 2 hrs to clean through. Mould/ rust in bedroom. Bedside lamp didn’t work. Tears on the wall paper. Washrms; ok, clean bar smell (we bought bleach). Floor(s) were filthy. Utensils, clean. Living space; carpets stained, furnishing torn, dead moths on sills. Outside; rotting ‘picnic table’, green mouldy washing line. Got on with our hol. Until, my mum was apprchd by ‘Mark’, 7 days into our hol & ordered in a militant, intimidating & bullying manner to leave. He intrusively accused her of ‘using’ their facilities in front of her 9yr old granddaughter in the middle of the site! Our fault, we hadn't signed her into the site as a visitor due to Covid-19. She should have done. Right & a wrong way of handling this; mature & manageable way of doing so would have been for ‘Mark’ to knock on our van & speak with us collectively in a responsible & adult like manner, showing respect. We would have apologised, it was our fault, corrected, & continued with our hol. Instead he approached my 60yr old mother in such a threatening way she was left shaking & in floods of tears. We canclld our 2nd wk of our hol. We don't recommend site, We left with two upset little girls & a hol that was cut short.

Response from Mark Langdown, Owner at Salcombe Regis Camping & Caravan Park
Responded 3 Aug 2020
Dear Mr & Mrs Rowe Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for giving us the platform to explain to anyone reading this our current policies in place and how seriously we take safety issues on the site. Your issues regarding your static holiday booking are valid to some point that could have been easily resolved had you let us know. Because we experienced other more serious issues with your booking we regard it as a concerted effort to guild over the main issues here regarding safety. We firstly need to set the scene. You had booked a two week break in one of our static caravans which are exactly as advertised on our web site. They are not new vans and not purported as such. They are indeed older stock but still fully serviceable and perfect for that cost effective break away from home. Unfortunately we cannot address expectations as that is subjective but we have many reviews following stays in our Static Caravans that totally contradict your experience. Following the end of the furlough of our staff we had just 4 days to prepare the site for opening and with the preparation of our safety measures taking the upmost priority, some jobs were unfortunately not completed in a timely manner. In particular we were unable to power wash off the exterior of the caravans, washing lines and benches. Our priority was, and still is, to ensure the interior living space was clean and fully sanitised between rentals. The exterior will be cleaned as soon as we are able to do so. Upon check-in every guest details are recorded and then provided with comprehensive information about our current procedures particularly towards the strict controls in place to ensure the safety and welfare of everybody on site and to help reduce the spread of Covid-19. These clear instructions also advised you that day visitors were not permitted under any circumstances. Guests are also given our traffic policy clearly highlighting our 5mph blanket speed restriction. We always conclude by explaining to the customer that their caravan is ready and fully sanitised but if there is anything that has been missed or not to their complete satisfaction to advise us immediately so that it can be resolved without delay. We received a message from you to say that you had brought your own duvets and pillows and asked for our items to be removed. We did this immediately and at the time asked if everything else was ok. You said yes, and at no time raised any issues of concern. The following day you advised us that the vacuum cleaner was not working and we replaced it immediately. Again – no mention of the other concerns you have now raised. Your caravan was internally cleaned and then sterilised using a fogging machine which uses natural chlorine (because it is safe to use) on all surfaces including the fabric. It is applied and then left to dry but it does leave a faint (swimming pool type) smell. I believe that is what you regard as must and mildew? As with every caravan there will be inevitable signs of wear and tear as you would expect with a 10 year old caravan as they are not as robust as say a cottage or hotel room. There will be marks consistent with use and unfortunately some customers have stained the carpets and despite regular cleaning, stains are still slightly visible. During the closed season we do run dehumidifiers as the insulation properties are not as efficient as a brick built property and unavoidably some metal items will deteriorate over time especially in a coastal environment. Your picture of the external base of the fridge door showing it slightly discoloured is unavoidably common in all of the vans. The interior of the fridge is however clean, sterile and perfectly serviceable. To take the photograph of the bed leg meant that you had to crawl right under it to do so. Your effort to condemn the accommodation to make a point and mask the real issue here is commendable! On the third day we notice for the second day in a row that Mr Rowe was driving at a speed well in excess of our 5mph limit through the Park and clearly had not taken any notice of our traffic regulations leaflet given to you at check-in. There is absolutely no excuse for speeding on the Park. It is only a short distance to travel and children are playing in all areas in what they consider to be a safe environment. It is especially frustrating when inconsiderate drivers have small children of their own and should understand the dangers in front of them. When I spoke to Mr Rowe he looked embarrassed and did apologise but then proceeded to tell me how his car could stop quicker than our park electric buggy – as if that justified his actions! Without making the connection to your booking at that time, a lady was spotted and recorded on our CCTV leaving our site after visiting our shower block late in the evening carrying a wash bag and with wet hair. She left the site with a young girl and crossed the road to our neighbour’s property where he permits rough camping. Our neighbour is not a registered or regulated camp site and does not have adequate facilities or any covid-19 controls in place. Nonetheless it is not acceptable for anyone who is not a paying guest of ours to use our facilities. It is tantamount to theft. Putting the sheer audacity aside, we have a far greater issue here in that walking into our site and failing to adhere to our Coid-19 measures places the health and safety of every person on the site at risk. The lady had walked past two bold and prominent signs asking that all visitors report to reception and then a further dedicated sign for Covid-19 clearly stating that day visitors were not permitted. Staff were put on alert to watch out for the lady in case she returned and if she did return she was to be escorted off the site immediately. I spotted the lady walking on to the site, again ignoring the 3 signs and heading towards our shower block. I took immediate action and approached her ordering her to stop and leave the site immediately. The lady was shocked and embarrassed at being caught and demanded that she was not spoken to in such a direct manner. Sadly someone that is prepared to brazenly ignore our security controls for a second day running is not going to listen to a polite request! It is also unfortunate that some people do not think that Covid-19 is a real issue either and they will continue to act in a selfish small minded manner to the risk and detriment of everybody else. We have undertaken risk assessments and are part of the government Covid-19 Secure Scheme as well as the Good to Go scheme with Visit England. We are committed to helping reduce the spread of the pandemic and have a duty of care to all of our guest. We have worked tirelessly to get our procedures in place and it is so frustrating when some people feel that they are above reproach. It was during this confrontation that the association with your booking was made and the lady quite openly said that she had used the shower block as she was visiting you on the way back from the beach! I told her that she had no right to come onto the Park, that it was in total breach of our Covid-19 controls and that you were also fully aware that we were not permitting day visitors during the pandemic. It is clear that you both thought that you would get away with it and that you had to face the embarrassment of being brought to task over our Park safety measures for yet the second time. We insisted that the lady registered with reception so that we had adequate details for Test and Trace purposes but that she still left the Park. The lady was not in tears as you dramatically suggest but more surprised that she had been caught out. You were all aware of our rules and regulations but despite this you were prepared to take the risk to the detriment of everybody else. This is not acceptable under any circumstances. When you suggested cancelling the remainder of your holiday we accepted and although under no obligation to do so, we refunded the unused part of your booking. We were happy to see you leave the site as you had absolutely no intention of conforming to our site controls and we did not want selfish inconsiderate individuals staying on the Park that are prepared to jeopardise the health and welfare of others through sheer ignorance. It is a shame that you had to embellish the static caravan issues in order to take the focus away from the main problem of your inability to conform to our safety policies but at the same time it has given us the ideal opportunity to reinforce our current safety procedures and to reassure our responsible guests that we continue to do our very best to keep them safe. Ironically I have just spoken to the lady that is occupying the very same caravan that you had for your booking. She had been there for a week and I asked her if everything is ok with the caravan. She exclaimed how happy they are with their holiday accommodation and how it has more exceeded their their expectations. Strange that!

Returning after too long, so much so that a new reception and additional shower/loo block have been built, to a very high standard. As ever a warm welcome. Very quiet indeed. A fabulous place and handy for walking on the SW coast path (Branscombe back to Weston Mouth along the beach) and of course the donkey sanctuary with its excellent restaurant.

We have just come back from Salcombe Regis caravan park. What a great week we had! We went with our touring caravan for the Sidmouth Folk Festival. We were made very welcome and the site was lovely. Toilet/shower block was cleaned regularly; there was no litter; there was an excellent, secure dog walking area; there were well signposted footpaths to the coast with a lovely walk to Sidmouth. The staff were professional, friendly and interested and they were all willing to help with any of our queries/questions. The site is secure with ANPR access. There was plenty of room on the pitch for our van, awning and car. We had grey waste disposal; EHU and a tap within 15 feet of the van, so we were able to connect direct. When we did use the toilet block, it had a washing area, plenty of toilets and showers, a laundry and use of a freezer for ice blocks etc. Because of the folk festival, there was a bus to get into Sidmouth.

It was a bit of a trip down memory lane coming here as I used to visit every year around 50 years ago! It certainly didn't disappoint. The site is now more than just a field with a toilet block but it has all been done sympathetically and the grounds are beautifully maintained. Don't go here for flashing lights & music - it is very tranquil and peaceful. Just right for a relaxing holiday. The facilities may be a little on the basic side but they are perfectly adequate and kept very clean. The camping sites are large and well maintained. If you have one on the right as you go into the field there are stunning views down to the sea. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Oh and the pizza van that visits on a Friday produces probably the best pizzas we have had!!! Thank you Salcombe Regis - we will be back.

We’ve stayed at many campsites over the years and Salcombe Regis is by far the best. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they never stop smiling.
We originally had to cancel at the last minute earlier in the summer due to our camper breaking down, we called the site and they sorted us out moving the booking with no fuss, they were only too pleased to help us out, nothing was too much trouble.
The facilities are brilliant and spotlessly clean all day long. We never had to wait once to take a shower in fact the very quaint, prettily painted shower block was empty most of the time. The site is quiet and friendly, the pitches are huge, the whole site feels very spacious.
The site is a short walk to the Southwest Coastpath and the beach at Salcombe Mouth is just three quarters of a mile away and like a paradise lost.
We’ll definitely return, thanks so much for making us feel so welcome.

We have been to Salcombe Regis Caravan and camping a few times over the years back when our Children were younger and now after 10 or so years later we decided to visit again.
****Important advice about your stay***** Please read the park rules, rules are rules and do not break them! Read them fully and be warned, if you step out of line with the park rules, you will be reprimanded and spoken to rudely and abruptly, without warning, without niceness , and to be honest very intimidating.
We broke the rules by talking in a group of 6 people past 2230 on Saturday of the August Bank holiday weekend 2023, ( Im truly sorry to our neighbours who had to complain, apologies for the talking). So the actual time was 2238 when we got the banging on the side of the awning to be quiet, not face to face just through the canvas with a touch shining through. Then the final parting shot from the wardens, we were told there was a complaint the previous night as well, ‘Wham Bam’ have that! Well I’m sad we were not made aware of this in the day, there were a few nice interactions and conversations in the day when the wardens could have mentioned about the complaint and noise and ask us to keep it down at night, maybe if we had been made aware of the complaint, we could have made a concerted effort not to make noise, we would have gone to bed at the allocated time of 2230 as stated in the park rules. (I know, I know it just means no noise after 2230, not bed time or does it)?
Being a Bank holiday weekend we didn’t think talking would be and issue, but being such a quiet site after 2230 I guess noise does travel and we forgot as we were just talking and enjoying the conversation.
I have read the past reviews there are a lot of *5 reviews along with all other number *reviews. I know the Park warden’s will have the final say with this review! I’m sure the reply from the wardens will have a full precise explanation of how we broke the rules and they are there for everyone to make the park a better environment for everyone and how good the wardens are and how we are the bad people and how rules are rules and shouldn’t be broken but I’d just like to say manors along with politeness do not cost anything we are all adults and not animals and we all deserve to be spoken to in a calm, polite manor, on that occasion in my opinion you should have let us know about the past night complaint and come and spoke to us in a calm polite manor you had plenty of opportunity, instead of being abrupt, rude and intimidating and shining your torch onto our awning, we have paid good money to stay here, politeness doesn’t cost anything!!
Now there is a nice side to the wardens they are very helpful when they are asked for help in the day as you would expect I congratulate you for this and not charging us for our daughter who we thought was included in our booking (probably our fault and our error when booked) but turns out she wasn’t included, now we were more than happy to pay for her but the wardens said we didn’t need to pay which was nice gesture thank you , so it was a shock to witness these wardens speak to us in this manor, it was uncalled for in this tone of voice. What a shame that one incident really was a shock and made us on edge the rest of our holiday. I do not ever want to be made to feel like that again and being spoken to in that manor was not called for, we will not be returning!

Thank you for your review. Due to the nature of your comments, we felt it necessary to carry out an investigation and comment as follows: We take the safety of all our guests seriously and have a duty of care to ensure all guests can enjoy the park. Upon arrival and booking all our guests (yourselves included) are sent the following attachments: Booking Confirmation, Park Rules, Site Information, Site Map and Terms & Conditions. As clearly stated in our park rules and our booking terms and conditions: We are a family site and respectfully request that noise is kept to reasonable levels after 8:00pm. We expect the site to be quiet after 10:30pm and before 09:00am the following morning in order to maintain the quiet enjoyment of the site by other guests. We kindly ask guests to refrain from shouting/screaming and the playing of loud music after 8:00pm. Unfortunately, we had received a complaint from one of our guests to advise there was loud noise from your pitch circa 23.45pm the previous night. The following evening the wardens were carrying out their nightly patrol circa 22.30pm and your pitch was very loud, the wardens politely requested you to lower the noise, as to not disturb other guests. Unfortunately during this request you chose to remain inside your awning and argued with our on site wardens, something which is not suitable behavior on our site and is clearly stated within the park rules and terms and conditions which you agree to at the time of booking. Our wardens have a duty of care, and must comply with the park regulations and park rules as per our council instructed site licence, therefore we do take this seriously and comply with all requirements set upon us as a holiday park. We apologise if our enforcement of our rules caused an inconvenience or appeared rude to yourselves but we have a duty to comply.

Generally they are exposed to the weather so we always recommend good pegs and plenty of them. We have three partially sheltered pitches (Pitch 19, 20 & 49) that is assuming that the wind is coming from the south east.
Some tent customers like to be on pitches 50 -56 as they have a hedge behind them.
All of the above have electricity but if you want non electric we have perimeter pitches 76 to 101 where you will have a hedge behind you.
You can see a site map on our web site. First page and click on the map link.
If you have any further questions please ask.
Regards
Mark
