Well-maintained north Devon park just outside Ilfracombe
Watermouth Castle five minutes' drive; Woolacombe 20 minutes
Nature trail and play area on site; beach less than 10 minutes' walk

Into the valley – and onto the beach… If you’re seeking seclusion and space as well as sand and surf on your north Devon holiday, it’s likely you’ll be hugely happy with the location of Hele Valley Holiday Park. This park is in a placid sheltered valley bordered by hills, but a short walk away from Hele Bay beach, the South West Coast Path and the lively town of Ilfracombe. Plonk yourself at this very friendly family-run park for all sorts of north Devon delights: a seven-minute saunter will take you to the watersports, rockpools and beach of Hele Bay; 20 minutes on foot gets you to the centre of Ilfracombe, and the three-mile surfing stretch of Woolacombe is within 20 minutes’ drive. Family fun at the likes of Watermouth Castle, the Milky Way Adventure Park and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park is also easy to find from here – and as the kids will no doubt point out, a shorter drive means more time among the meerkats and ball pits… The specialised nature trail on site will keep the kids busy spotting all sorts of species at the bird, bat and dormouse boxes, feeding tables and bird baths; afterwards, send them off to the play area to wear them out ready for a good night’s sleep (hopefully…) ‘Immaculate’, 'second to none’ and ‘some of the best I’ve encountered’ are a few of the laurels lavished on the toilets and showers, which have free hot water, disabled access and individual cubicles. The park also has a launderette and a washing-up area. Supplies are close by too: two pubs serving food within five minutes’ walk, and supermarkets and independent shops over in Ilfracombe.

Liked: The site owners were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to give advice on where to eat etc. The site was well kept and the shower blocks were kept extremely clean. A great location as the walk into Ilfracombe was easy, walking back along the coast path was harder (hilly!) but worth it for the spectacular views. Hele Bay was only a short walk from the site which was perfect and there was a lovely cafe there too!

Liked: The site is immaculate throughout, and very pretty. Staff were superb, showers were hot, and the shower blocks were cleaned regularly throughout the day and were spotless. The area is beautiful. Pitches were well separated and the grass between them was really well maintained.

Disliked: The big hill we had to walk up to get to or from Ilfracombe, and the approach road is short but narrow with a tight turn

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (large)

Liked: Well laid out flat pitches/site, water tap on elec pillar also grey waste on pitch. Plenty sites to recycle waste, and dog waste bins in appropriate places. Friendly staff, maintenance team cutting hedges etc were considerate, also drove quiet elec vehicles. Secure site with barrier access. Clean well lit toilets/showers, hair dryers, decent Dyson hand driers. Toilet waste point was one of the best and easiest to use. Great Wi-Fi, was able to stream movies in caravan whilst girlfriend also playing girlie games on her phone 😂

Disliked: Nothing at all to dislike about this site, apart from my own dogs winding me up, and the late October weather 😂 A nice relaxing few days. Thankyou 👏🏻👏🏻

Local attractions

Setting off to see your surroundings is easy – the South West Coast Path can be accessed from Ilfracombe to climb up to Hillsborough and pass Hele Bay and Watermouth to Combe Martin. But do take quite some time in Ilfracombe first to browse around its shops, galleries, gardens and museum, then have a boat or fishing trip out from its handsome harbour… Travelling slightly further afield, Watermouth Castle (five minutes’ drive) is an odd but utterly fab mix of Victorian treasures, modern rides, maze and gnomes in their very own land, while Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (15 minutes) has a whole menagerie of animals and animatronic dinosaurs around its 25 acres. And do try The Big Sheep (40 minutes) for sheep racing, horse whispering and a massive indoor play area. For other days out, spot exotic animals at Exmoor Zoo (25 minutes) or make your way to The Milky Way Adventure Park (50 minutes) to try Devon’s tallest rollercoaster, watch swooping birds of prey demonstrations, feed baby goats or slide around the huge indoor play centre.
