Wow, what a fantastic place to stay. This caravan is equipped with everything you could need for a luxury break. Jon & Libby went out of their way to help me with last minute accommodation & I can't recommend their holiday home high enough. When I'm back in Exeter, I'll definitely be booking again.

Pristine caravan on a really well kept site. Comfortable, welcoming and incredibly accommodating hosts in Jon and Libby. Very much wish I could have spent longer here!

Beautiful place, very secure and relaxing. Nice and quiet with amazing views.

I stayed at Paws & Palms in August for a weekend break with my two dogs, Olly and Milo, and we had an incredible time. The caravan, park, and surrounding views were simply breathtaking. It was clear from the moment we arrived that the hosts have thought of absolutely everything to deliver a true 5-star experience for guests and their dogs. It was the perfect relaxing getaway, and we enjoyed every minute. I will definitely be returning for a longer break later in the year or next spring. Highly recommended!
