Lyn and I liked Steamer Quay. Of course the weather helped, it was hot, sunny and
quiet.
The site is fairly flat, so we didn't have too much trouble getting the 'van
level. The whole site was clean, tidy and well run. We noticed that as soon as a
pitch was vacated, the warden appeared with his mower to cut the grass.
We liked the location, just a few hundred yards from the town centre and just across the road from the river Dart. It was a pleasure not to have to use the car to go shopping, we in fact, didn't use our car for the first three days we were there. It was a pleasure just to walk into town in the morning to get the newspaper. Not only that, there were walks down the river bank, in both directions. There was also a cycle path along the bank (some of the way) to the nearby Cider Centre
The toilet/shower block was excellent, well designed and spacious. The showers were good, they supplied a constant flow of hot water, they were also generous in their size, giving ample room to dry and dress and not have to stand in pools of water.
The site warden and his wife were both helpful and were always ready to give help or stop for a chat.
Totnes, the town, is a quaint Devon town. It boasts a main street that runs uphill dwindling down to nothing more than a lane at the top, all lined with interesting shops. Off of the main street are various alley ways and passages leading to other parts of the town, some with steps, others without, all were narrow, it was easy to imagine being there a hundred years ago.
Across the road from the site, as I mentioned, was the River Dart, a hive of activity on a sunny weekend.
There were river trips down to Dartmouth and back and are well worth the small expense, the skippers of the river craft that make the trips are knowledgeable and go to great lengths to point out all the attractions along the way.
