Family stay at the Scrumpy Duck
This is a lovely static caravan on a small, peaceful, family-run campsite on the edge of Hartland village. We enjoyed exploring some of the coastal path and the ANOB, Hartland peninsular. The village was less than 5 minutes walk away with a post office and local store as well as a cafe serving nice cakes and 3 pubs which had music on some nights and served good food (including takeaway pizzas at the King's Arms). Zoe was great and on hand if you needed anything. Thank you for a lovely stay, the Cooper family.

Would recommend this site very highly, tea,coffee,washing up liquid, towels all supplied, the caravan was very clean and comfortable. Several places to eat within easy walking distance, we found this was a great base for continuing our walk around the South Coast Path

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful few days stay at Scrumpy Duck. The caravan totally met, even exceeded, expectations, with lovely decor and special touches. Zoe came to say hi the morning after we arrived, and stopped by to wish us a good journey home, she couldn't have been friendlier! The caravan site was in a good location, easy to find and Hartland was a great little village. We will definitely be looking to return and do more exploring!

Lovely short break
The property was clean and well stocked. Lovely location and the host came and checked that we had all we needed. Only one small gripe, and it is very small. No suitable plates/bowls for cereal in the morning.

Our stay in the Scrumpy Duck
Lovely short stay, the caravan was well equipped with everything you could need. The fenced garden was great for the two dogs. Only negative was lack of wifi.

Just lovely!
We had a lovely stay - great that we could just get straight into the property when we arrived - no lengthy check-in procedure. Real thought had gone into the decor - it was pretty, clean and bright. Within walking distance of local shops and a range of pubs. Great that the garden was fenced in as it meant we could let the dog out without worrying. A real bonus to have use of the washing machine in the toilet / shower block opposite - meant we didn't come home with a tonne of washing! In terms of location, it was perfect for us. A short drive into North Cornwall where we could enjoy some great bodyboarding. Zoe even arranged a week of sunshine! All in all, a perfect stay - we would certainly return!

A lovely stay in North Devon
Lovely caravan that was spotlessly clean and very nicely furnished. Fenced area around the van was perfect as we took our dog with us. Site was lovely and generally quiet, except for a yappy dog in a neighbouring van that was let out early morning. Location was good, a few minutes drive to the coast and the village of Hartland was lovely with 3 pubs to choose from for food / drinks. A great base to explore Devon and north Cornwall. We had a great break and would definitely return. Thank you :-)

This caravan is like home from home. Zoe and family has thought of everything. We took certain items we didn’t think would be there ie Washing up Liquid, Dish cloths toilet rolls etc and we needed have bothered as Zoe had thought of everything. It was so nice to have an enclosed garden as we took our dog with us and she just loved laying out on the Decking in the sun which we were lucky with the week we were there. Thank you Zoe and family we will definitely see you again.

Summer Holiday June 2021
This delightfully decorated caravan had everything we needed for a lovely stay in Devon. The kitchen was very well equipped with all crockery and cutlery, including washing up liquid, condiments and tea towels. There was hand-wash in the bathroom, bath towels were provided and the very comfortable bed was made up for our arrival. Zoe had left us a very thoughtful welcome card and a supply of biscuits, coffee and tea. The enclosed garden was brilliant for dogs and had a picnic bench as well as a built-in seat on the decking. Although the days were hot and sunny it did get chilly in the evenings and early morning but there was a fire in the living area and heaters in all other rooms so this isn't a problem. The site was well maintained and the caravan was spotlessly clean and I would have no hesitation returning here or recommending it to others.

Short break
The van was nice , the caravan park was lovely except for the noise from the on site Allin steel panel beating firm that started early morning +during the day . The weather kept us inside more than we expected or we may not have realised the problem . Noise from the road immediately behind the van woke us early.

Great place to stay
Beautifully clean, comfortable and fully equipped caravan. An added bonus of a small gated garden next to the caravan. A lovely fish pond (Safely gated) provided an interesting nature walk for younger kids. Hartland village had everything we needed including shops, fish and chips, and three pubs serving good food. Hartland Quay is amazing for views, rock pools and a pub. The Milky Way and The Big Sheep are ideal for younger kids and most activities were open (when it wasn’t raining!) We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful location for a family holiday
Every aspect of our holiday was ideal - a lovely caravan, wonderful host, excellent location and information provided before and during the holiday. While the weather wasn't brilliant, we weren't short of things to do - walking, swimming and even just chilling in the caravan ensured a wonderful family time away. We will be back and definitely recommend a stay!

All the little touches that made this place feel like home were really welcomed. We were very comfortable. Zoe was very helpful and welcoming. Only slight issue was the noisy traffic early in the morning/late at night that woke us up. Other than that, a fabulous place.

Enjoyable short beeak
Had a lovely two night stay in the Scrumpy Duck. Spotless, bright and very nicely furnished with everything we needed. We arrived quite late and thinking we would walk into a cold caravan but heating was on and it was lovely and cosy. Would return and recommend to family and friends. Location was great and just love visiting the Quay.

Caravan was lovely inside
The caravan was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed, loved the location as it was close to the village and there was a beautiful pub for food in village which we found after asking the lady in the village shop. Only downside was the carbon monoxide alarm when off at 3am in our first nights stay which obviously made us feel uncomfortable and resulted in us having no sleep at all on the first night but we finally realise it was low battery, went to the office with it the next day to find the office was shut every time we went there so we had to replace the batteries ourselves. Also when we arrived we were told we could just go into the caravan and find the key on the table, arrived an hour after check in time to find the caravan locked after locating someone they also had trouble finding the key eventually we got in and found all the cleaning equipment, materials in the entrance, once they were collected we could start our holiday. I would recommend a fan or something for the caravan as during the day it was far too hot in there then at night was to cold. I would recommend the caravan for a couple of nights

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
Thank you for your review. I am delighted to hear that you thought the caravan was beautifully decorated and had everything you needed as well as being in a lovely location. I am sorry that the alarm went off during your stay but equally pleased as they are an essential part of your safety. Each caravan has two smoke alarms and two carbon monoxide alarms and are checked at each change over. I understand that if the batteries do go when you are there it can be very annoying but this can happen and I am sorry you missed us in the office and very grateful that you replaced them. There is a very comprehensive information file in each caravan which is updated every year and details everything about Hartland as well as all of the local information leaflets and a visitor book which is completed by guests specifically offering future guests their recommendations in particular where to eat but you are absolutely right we are lucky to live in a village where the locals love passing on information about the area and often this can be even more useful. Your caravan was accidentally locked and the caravan next door unlocked hence the cleaning basket had not been left in the correct caravan, again I am sorry that this happened but it was an innocent mistake which has never happened before and I can’t imagine happening again. Again, I think you are right to suggest a fan and had we realised such a heatwave was about to take place we would have acted sooner. We now offer a fan to guests should they require one. Every bedroom has a heater and there are additional blankets in the cupboards should they be required. Again, thank you for your review.

Great base for exploring Devon and Cornwall
A really lovely caravan packed with loads of extras. Zoe was a perfect host, nothing was too much trouble! Hartland is such a lovely village, locals are really friendly. We ate out at the Hart and Kings Arms, couldn’t fault either of them, both dog friendly. I can also recommend the burgers from the local shop (pop in) great on the bbq!!

Very comfortable and cosy
A cosy and comfortable caravan with all you need for your stay. The added bonus of having a fully enclosed garden is very useful. It also has a decked area with seating for enjoying the sun. The site is convenient to the village which has two pubs, cafe, post office and shop. The owners are very warm and welcoming. Such a relaxing break.
