Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: I liked the small size (only 6 tents), the place is very quiet with animals nearby in the farm. A small play area with trampolines. Also it was nice to have the table and bench outside the tent. Great location with 10/15 minutes drive to more beaches.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The location is absolutely beautiful, like staying in your own little private valley, with a babbling brook and miniature ponies and alpacas to keep you company. It couldn’t be more lovely. The facilities are also excellent and well suited to the number of guests, which is limited so you never feel like your fellow campers are on top of you. You are also close to some of the best beaches in the UK and in Ilfracombe you easily can find whatever it is you forgot to bring on your trip.
Disliked: The campsite has quite a lot of rules, some of which didn’t feel necessary, and in the fine tradition of English hospitality, occasionally made us feel like our presence was a bit of an inconvenience. The country Lane which runs by the side of the site is also surprisingly noisy, with quite a lot of heavy farm traffic passing by and locals on route to Barnstaple.

Liked: Lovely peaceful campsite with great facilities. Lovely hosts and bonus pizza night! We loved the spacing of the tents and campfire hire. Lots of lovely touches such as wet suit rack to dry them off after a day at the beach.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Location - superb location very close to woolacombe (11mins googlemaps) and all the delights of the northcoast and Exmoor. General feel - its a small site and very attractive with very short grass pitches divided by banks of long grass and wildflowers and surrounded by a natural slightly wild hedge. It's clean and neat while still feeling rustic. Small size - I loved the small size just 6 pitches plus a few huts in the adjacent field. Facilities - clean flush toilets and showers, plus washing up sinks with drinking water in a rustic wooden cabin. The basics as you would expect for a small rustic site but very clean and the showers are good and hot. Wetsuit drying rack and washing lines - simple. Just a wooden beam and some rope lines but handy. No cars by pitches - adds to the charm and there are trolleys to ferry kit from your car. Plus its a small site so its not far. Firepits supplied - logs can be bought from the farm house.
Disliked: No real dislikes. Pitches weren't super level but as good as most places I've been, better than some and not enough to be a problem.
