  • Small, multi-award-winning and peaceful site in a secluded valley
  • Putsborough beach and Croyde village centre both 15 minutes' walk
  • Immaculate amenities; campfires allowed; pubs within walking distance
If you haven't been to the beach at Woolacombe yet… why ever not? These stunning and award-winning sands have been hailed as the best in all of Britain and among the top in Europe (sometimes even on the entire planet): you'll see why the second you get there… Glimpses of this spectacular stretch of sand can be had from Combas Farm, a family-run site in a secluded valley within sauntering distance of Croyde village. Guests have been returning here for years for the spectacular and handy north Devon setting, as well the warm vibe that owners Gwen and Sally and their team have created: the words 'friendly' and 'helpful' crop up time and again in guests' reviews. Most folk also mightily appreciate the spotlessly kept and modern amenities on the farm too, set in a converted barn and including powerful hot showers, immaculate toilets, a washing-up area and sockets for gadget charging. Camping is in four fields – one with those stunning views over Woolacombe Bay and the others closer to the swish facilities. A half-mile trot along a farm track leads to the shops and pubs of Croyde village; the site is also about a 15-minute stroll from Putsborough beach. Firepits and barbecues are allowed: pick up all you could need for either of these in Braunton, 15 minutes' drive away. Several pubs and restaurants are also within walking distance.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I have been coming back to Combas farm for years with my family and went with my friends this year. They are always friendly and welcoming, check in was very easy and we even had a choice of pitch. The bathrooms are excellent, they have fridges and freezers and are now selling milkshakes from local cows which were delicious and well priced. The pitches themselves are well kept and in a great location. You can easily walk to Putsborough beach and Croyd town. I never want to camp anywhere else and will be coming back for years

Carl A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: As soon as we turned up to Combas Farm, we was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The site was beautiful and well kept. The facilities were absolutely spotless and more than enough for everyone to have their space. There were fridges for your food, electrical sockets for charging, drying rooms for wet kit, spare chairs & wellies… the list goes on! They were so trusting and happy to help with any questions we had an were genuinely a great help! Putsborough beach and croyde bay are beautiful and not too crowded. The walk from the farm to either beach is straightforward and absolutely beautiful! It’s full of wild edibles and the best of Britains wildlife! The kids loved picking the blackberries and seeing a turtle that lived in a pond just up the road. I had read the reviews before booking at Combas farm. I can now personally say that every single 5* review is well deserved! It genuinely is Devon at its best. You won’t be disappointed booking your stay here.

Local attractions

The nearest beach is Putsborough Sands, at one end of Woolacombe Bay. It's generally a quieter spot than the rest of Woolacombe beach and is just one of the north Devon surfing destinations near the farm. Surf's also up at Saunton Sands, 20 minutes' drive from the farm, and at Croyde and Westward Ho! as well as the main Devon surf spots of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The spectacular South West Coast Path is also a must if you're anywhere around the shoreline of England's south west: join it at Croyde for the five-mile stretch to Woolacombe past the National Trust's fably-named Baggy Point, or hike a hefty 15 miles to go further south on the route from Woolacombe to Braunton. Another scenic option for walking – and cycling – is the Tarka Trail, the looping paths following the route of Henry Williamson's fictional otter. This one's accessible from Woolacombe too, but the most popular part is probably the car-free 31 miles between Meeth and Braunton: drop into the Museum of British Surfing at Braunton for the story of south-west surf if you have energy afterwards. More walks? Exmoor National Park is within 40 minutes' drive.
