Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: Location is great, site is on the top of a hill in the middle of a working farm. Great views all round. Lots of space. Farm shop on the road in. Well thought out, but no-frills facilities - which is what we were looking for. Toilet cubicles are large and the shower unit is a good size. Big enough to hose down a few small kids at once, which is useful after a day at the beach. Not far off the South Coast Path.
Disliked: Site is very exposed which may not be so good if the weather is unkind. Make sure you take some serious tent pegs as there are quite a few stones in the ground. There is a crate of pegs and hammers that you can borrow, but best to be prepared.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: Perfect location for the coast path & sea views. Basic site with little details thought about. Like wheelbarrows to help you carry your gear from car park to camp field. The ground is extremely firm so the hammer and pegs offered to guests were put to good use. 4 porter loos, 3 sinks and a solar shower. Very clean facilities, although the toilets did have an odour, there was plenty of loo roll. Picnic benches and bbq area. Farm shop at bottom of hill. Drinking water on tap.
Disliked: Google maps took me in the back way. Head for Budleigh beach and then use maps to avoid the tight lanes. Nick allowed me to open the back gate for entry to avoid the long journey around. Thanks Nick, much appreciated.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: The views were fantastic and the toilets and shower were clean.
Disliked: My gripe was in relation to the distance quoted. Whilst 1.5 miles was fair in relation to the distance from the entrance on the main road into Budleigh high street, it was another trek, maybe another mile, up to the camping area. Location was my main reason for staying and just wished i'd known this.

Liked: Loved the beautiful views and the peace and quiet
Disliked: Was extremely difficult to hammer the tent pegs in the ground as it's very stony. Luckily there were some stronger pegs on hand but was still a real struggle
