Only thing eas trying to get hold of a taxi was really difficult and it was pure luck we got hold of a company in the end. Parking was good and directions from the sat nav to get into the camp was easy and facilities at Bude, I.e. supermarkets and eating places were good especially if you are gluten free. Highly recommend the parkhouse. Well done we will definitely be back next year with our grandchildren in tow !
