Greenways Valley Holiday Park

First Impressions

You know what struck me most about Greenways Valley Holiday Park? It’s how the name actually tells you everything you need to know. This four-star holiday park sits in a proper valley just outside Great Torrington, and honestly, the setting feels almost too good to be true. The moment you turn down Caddywell Lane, you’re leaving the world behind and entering this green pocket where the only sounds are birdsong and maybe the distant bleating of sheep from neighboring farms.

The Accommodation Experience

I stayed in one of their static caravans — though calling it a caravan feels like underselling it. The room layouts are surprisingly spacious, and each unit comes with its own kitchen that’s actually functional (not one of those token setups you sometimes get). What I really appreciated was having my own little outdoor space where I could sit with morning coffee and watch the mist lift off the valley. The furnishings aren’t fancy, but they’re comfortable and clean, which is exactly what you want when you’re planning to spend most of your time outdoors anyway.

Location and Surroundings

Great Torrington itself is one of those market towns that feels authentically Devon — no tourist traps, just proper local pubs and a weekly market that’s been running for centuries. The holiday park sits about a mile outside town, which means you get the peace and quiet but can still walk to the local restaurant or pick up supplies. I mean, the location rating of 9.2 from couples makes perfect sense when you’re surrounded by rolling hills and can actually see stars at night. The Tarka Trail runs nearby too, so if you’re into cycling or walking, you’ve got miles of traffic-free paths right on your doorstep.

Practical Considerations

One thing that immediately impressed me was the parking situation — it’s free and right outside your accommodation, which might sound basic but trust me, after staying at places where you’re hauling luggage across fields, this matters. The whole park feels well-maintained without being overly manicured, if that makes sense. There’s a small playground for families, and the facilities block is spotless (always a good sign). The staff actually seem to know the area well too, so when you ask about local walks or where to get the best cream tea, you get proper recommendations rather than just pointing at a leaflet.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both secluded and accessible. You’re genuinely in the countryside — I watched deer grazing in the field next door most mornings — but you’re not cut off from civilization. The 9.1 overall rating reflects what I experienced: it’s simply a well-run operation that doesn’t try to be something it’s not. Whether you’re using it as a base for exploring North Devon or just want a few days of proper quiet, Greenways Valley delivers exactly what it promises. Plus, at this price point, you’re getting genuine value rather than paying for bells and whistles you probably won’t use anyway.
