Some dogs

Tarka Holiday Park is a smallish Park Holidays site at Ashford, under five miles from Barnstaple. It is a caravan hire park: the facilities listed are a children's play area, a dog walking area and a launderette, with no pool, bar or entertainment complex.

The draw is the position. The Tarka Trail for walking and cycling is close by, and the beaches at Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough, Woolacombe and Instow are all within reach. The park takes card payments only.
