Hoburne Torbay review - draft

First things first, spoke to Hoburne Torbay on the phone and got a stupendous (for August) deal for a week for us. Much lower than their internet price.
Chose Hoburne for proximity to the beach, stayed in the Cotswolds one 6-7 years ago and mainly, the cheapest in the category of near £1000 pounds for a caravan for a week Aug holiday prices. Yes, close to £1000 for a week. Self catering. For 6.

Anyway, it was a lovely experience, need to figure
 out where to start.


The Birmingham-Devon journey was awful, took 6 hours instead of the 3, traffic jams, single carriageways etc. Prepared for it fortunately, experienced it last year on the way to Cornwall. The view of the sea rising up in front of your eyes as you go down a slope approaching Hoburne, in fact a few places in South Devon is something else. 
First of all, from the price we paid, expected a dump, the park looked nice and well maintained when we entered. Checkin staff lovely and gave us our keys along with a map and showed us where to look for the entertainment schedule Went to the caravan a bit worried but it turned out to be spotless. Seriously very very clean. It wasn't an apartment/cottage/hotel room/B&B so the tiny spaces were expected. Kids overjoyed at a mini house.
Got to continue this later.....the joys of having 3 tired children on a Sat evening when I'm meant to be going out :)
