Fabulous!
West Ashford Barton
This is a stunning place to stay. We chose to stay on the Foxhall Field and weren't disappointed at all. The views are amazing and the estuary changes through the day which provides different outlooks. There's no EHU on the field but we've got solar and didn't require hook up. There's a tap, bins for household waste and recycling and the elsan waste, all by the gate. We could choose to pitch where we wanted to. Didn't need levelling blocks as the top strip of this field is relatively flat. We were greeted and welcomed warmly by Arlene and her daughter. Excellent EE, very good Vodafone and great TV signal. Highly recommend this wonderful site. Just be sure to follow the directions supplied by Arlene for the most suitable route in, as the incoming narrow country roads suggested on Satnav / Google maps aren't suitable.
Magical views
West Ashford Barton
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent 8 night stay at this CL, in our caravan despite having a lot of rain. The CL is all grass, set over 3 fields. £19 a night including 'reasonable use' of electricity. There is a useful information room; recycling facilities and opportunity to buy fresh eggs. The views across the countryside and estuary can only be described as stunning. We enjoyed cycling on the Tarka Trail which is easy to reach from the site, but we would recommend turning left out of the site and right at the crossroads to go down through the village of West Ashford to access the Tarka Trail. From here it is easier to cross the busy road and has a more accessible path to the Trail. The owners are very friendly but not intrusive. We struggled to get off the site when time to leave because there had been so much rain, but thankfully Mrs May was more than happy to give us a swift tow off. If you book to visit, make sure you follow the clear directions provided by the site, as since the Caravan Club issued directions, there is a new roundabout to a housing estate which could cause confusion. You really don’t want to towing or driving a large Motorhome through some of the narrow lanes.
We would recommend this site and will definitely return.
Plenty of space with amazing view
West Ashford Barton
Just one night, unfortunately. But we loved the spot. There seemed to be loads of space and we chose a pitch that was firmer underfoot; the owner reported recent towing episodes. The view of the river estuary - constantly changing - was excellent. It’s a 15 minute walk downhill to the Tarka Trail and 18 minutes to Heanton Court, the nearest pub. We had a very satisfactory meal there on a Sunday evening. The walk back up to the site is steep but worth it.

Super!
West Ashford Barton
Great welcome from host. Whilst site is sloping our 7.4m motorhome had no trouble getting level with ramps. This site also has stunning views of the ever-changing estuary. Great site!
Be Aware
West Ashford Barton
PLEASE BE AWARE
The CL is £18 per night as of 18.07.2022 with EHU. It is a very sloping site and while the views are ok they are not the best.
However, the owner does have another field she calls ‘Foxhalls’ which is NOT part of the C.L. This field does not have EHU for which she is charging £15. While it is not as sloping levelling blocks may well still be needed.
The views from this field are superb over the fields and the River Taw estuary
The owner is very pleasant but we felt she was using her C.L. Registration to gain custom for her private Foxhalls site
We had a ‘new to us’ motorhome and wanted to have an EHU in order to try to out all the workings of the motorhome. We were sent directions to what we understood to be the C.L., which was in fact the private site and which was never mentioned on booking. On arrival we spoke with the owner who assured us that we had not requested an EHU and that the C.L. was in fact full at the time of booking!
Both sites are on the top of the hill, reached by some typical Devon country lanes.
For the reasons above we would not be booking with this owner again
