After reading several unfavourable reviews on this caravan site we again returned with some trepidation for our annual spring mini break to this site. On arrival we had a very warm welcome, all staff most friendly. The site was much cleaner than the previous year, caravan spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay yet again. The weather being very hot... More

I was concerned about staying at this site having seen some of the reviews, but must agree much with previous 'static' reviewer. I have just returned from a more than pleasant 4-night stay at this site in a very clean, well-maintained, well-appointed unit that allowed each of us 4 geysers to sleep in separate rooms - and found the few...

I am sad to see the poor reviews Tarka is getting and felt I should add my own experience. Last year our family purchased a 'gold' standard static caravan on this site as there were several for sale, this seems to be the way the new owner is managing some of the site as there are still some for sale...

We stayed here from the 16th - 23rd April, in what was the coldest, dampest April I can ever remember. This obviously put a downer on our fairly hastily booked break, but we booked here because a) My Fiance had previously stayed here, & b) because it was reasonably priced & available on the dates that we could get away...

We stayed at the tarka for a long weekend, this weekend and ended up leaving early due to our tent pitch becoming a marshy bog. Ok so the weather has been extremely wet but we thought we'd be ok staying on a site that advertises having amenities and being on the tarka trail. The amenities are worthless- no shop, the... More

We booked a Gold Van!!!! Gold it was not!!! Old,shabby,never mind a second toilet as there was no toilet roll.I expected central heating? NO an old gas fire.Very dated. Not as advertised. The position was possibly the worse of all. On a very busy duel carriageway. Very dangerous. An overgrown grass verge on one side our only escape route. We... More

The caravan it's self is tidy and clean, although a few "basics" would have been nice, like some toilet roll in the bathroom, a heater that had an ignition button that worked or a shop (as advertised on the website) where matches and toilet roll could be purchased. The location is good for local attractions, shops etc. But it is... More
