  • Small and friendly family-run farm between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe
  • Direct access to bridle path linking miles of public footpaths
  • Play area, free hot showers and family shower room
A small, friendly, family-run site and cracking sea/countryside views are among the features of Sunnymead Farm on the north Devon coast: it's between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe too so you can have sand among your toes or be fishing from the harbour within about 10 minutes. Combe Martin and Exmoor beyond it are about 15-20 minutes away. The Sunnymead owners have set the pitch prices to what they feel is reasonable for the area and the location; they've laid pitches out around the edge of two fields, giving each plenty of space and leaving the centre of each field free for play. Sunnymead Farm has a play area, free hot showers, a family shower room and recycling facilities. Reception sells hot and cold drinks, snacks and basic provisions. Going off site, the farm has direct access to a bridle path that links to miles of public footpaths (it can get mucky, so bring your wellies), and is on a public bus route with services that will stop on request at the site entrance. Tourist info and details on local attractions are available on site.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly owners, who gave us loads of great advice of the area. Small but very clean site. The bus stop right outside the site was a real bonus.

Disliked: Hard standings were a bit too small.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Despite our cars clutch and flywheel going 2 hours after arrival and needing to spend a shed load of money for a repair and hire car and atrocious weather while waiting for AA we managed to salvage the week. We had a great week with some fantastic body boarding and some brilliant waves caught on Woolacombe beach only a few miles from Sunnymead. The site is a smallish family run site with good facilities. Loved our stay so much as this was our first time to Ilfracombe we managed to organise our caravan into storage and back in 3 weeks and just cant wait.

Disliked: The North Devon weather on day 1 and 5. The locals are money grabbing parasites when it comes to parking charges, £6 from 8am - 1pm, £5 from 4pm - 10pm and £12 all day and the council road parking, you know the road our car tax pays for is not much better. Greedy lowlife Council and private car park owner.

Liked: Location - lots to do in the surrounding areas. Small friendly site. Level pitches Lovely costal walks from the site.

Disliked: Close to busy main road, which was fine throughout the day but in the evenings it was loud and difficult to sleep for the lighter sleepers. Shower temperature was unpredictable in the family shower room.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We have had a wonderful time here, stayed for 10 nights. Pitches are level and the site is very well kept, showers and toilets are all spotless and cleaned multiple times a day, everything you could need for a great camping trip is here as well as being centrally located for days out, the owners are very nice friendly people and full of local knowledge, you can usually catch up with them in the camp shop which stocks all your basics. Sad we had to leave but looking forward to returning.. highy recommend

Disliked: Nothing really to dislike

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: This is such a lovely site especially with the luxury of fully serviced pitches. The whole campsite is clean and well kept. The site shop is great to pick your bread and milk up from in a morning. Sarah is lovely and so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. It about 10 minutes from Ilfracombe Town centre and Combe Martin is well worth a visit. We will definitely return.

Local attractions

The surfing of Woolacombe and the Victorian town of Ilfracombe are both three miles from Sunnymead Farm, as are the famed Tunnels Beaches, the hand-carved tunnels leading to sheltered coves and a Victorian bathing pool (you can get married at the Tunnels these days, so drop a holiday hint if you think that'd be your thing). Combe Martin Dinosaur Park should whet the appetite for your next south-west England trip (to the Jurassic Coast) and as it's the 'gateway to Exmoor', all sorts of outdoorsy activities lie just ahead. Award-winning conservation centre Exmoor Zoo has over 200 species of animals, birds and reptiles. Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle just outside Ilfracombe has a labyrinth, rides and play areas in a rather splendid setting overlooking Watermouth Cove; buy a return ticket to come back again for a tiny price throughout the season. And if you're feeling active, the amount of things you could get busy at in Devon are too many to list, but could include surfing, horse riding, swimming, tennis, golf, quad biking, ten-pin bowling and cycling (the Route 27 cycle trail is close by).
