This was our 2nd PGL holiday, but first at Barton Hall. The kids enjoyed the first so much they jumped at the chance to do another. The rooms are basic, but clean, very much in the Pontins, Bultins style, but you don't come here for the room. The activities are what draw people and they are very good, raft building,... More

Just returned from a fantastic week at PGL Barton Hall. The majority of reviews are spot on, mentioning the very basic accommodation, canteen style food and fun filled days for a very reasonable price.

I went with my two boys [ages 9 & 11] whilst hubby had to work. I was a bit nervous on how we'd get on but we really had so much fun. We were paired up with 2 other families with kids of similar ages. There were 4 activities each day, each one lasting about 1 hour 45 mins. Then... More

The food there was nice and had plenty to choose from. The rooms were okay but could do with more secure locks. Activities were brilliant and... More

We have just returned from a half term family holiday at Barton Hall in Devon. My children are aged 12, 10 and 7. We had an amazing time. Some reviews said the rooms are very basic but you are literally only in them to sleep so it doesn't matter at all. Personally, I thought they were fine! My husband and... More
