Why stay here ...
Venn Farm CL with its fully serviced pitches is set on a peaceful conservation farm situated on the borders of Devon and Cornwall, in its own tranquil and unspoiled river valley. The adults only site is accessed by a leafy farm track and has stunning views of the surrounding open countryside.
All five pitches are fully serviced and have level hard standings, their own electric hook-up, drinking water supply, grey water disposal point, picnic bench brick barbeque and free Wi-Fi connection. We welcome dogs on the site and have our own 15 acre private mixed woodland in which visitors are welcome to walk.
The site is located centrally between the towns of Launceston, Holsworthy and Okehampton and is within easy reach of the North and South coasts of both Devon and Cornwall. It is ideally placed for visiting Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor. The Cornish villages of Tintagel and Boscastle are within 30 minutes drive as is the popular seaside town of Bude and the Devon market town of Tavistock. The larger towns of of Plymouth, Barnstaple, Exeter and Bodmin are all within an hours drive.
There is a local Post Office and shop 1.5 miles from the farm and the Cornish town of Launceston offering supermarkets, shopping and restaurants is 6 miles away.
Roadford within 5 miles is the largest lake for water based activities in the South West. It also offers fishing, walking and has a lakeside café and gift shop.
An alternative route avoiding Launceston town can be found on our independent website.

The CL that has thought of everything.
The owner Andy couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Pitches large and level with all the services. I would recommend turning off the A30 at the Broadwoodwidger turn and then go up past the Roadford reservoir. it is about eight miles from the A30 to the entrance to Venn farm,... Show more

Outstanding peaceful site
We mainly use CLs and have stayed in some very basic ones, but this one was not one of those! From our first contact by phone Andy gave us lots of information and after allowing us to set up, he arrived to greet us. The hard standing pitches are large enough... Show more

Wonderful site
Great site with perfect facilities as stated. Good welcome and great walks. Unfortunately did not see the Beavers this time but will just have to come back.

Well planned and well managed
Owner Andy planned this site thoughtfully from scratch, even down to planting the now mature adjacent woodland. You need to be a self-contained unit as there are no toilets or showers. That is reflected in the price. There are other welcome touches to compensate. Each pitch has its own water... Show more

Fabulous Site !!
The best site we have ever stayed on. Fully serviced facilities and set in idyllic location with lovely woodland walks and the added excitement of seeing beavers and their lodges. They were quite elusive but we managed to see and video one of them swimming late in the evening. Dartmoor... Show more

Great CL
We stayed for 2 nights towards the end of May. A quiet and peaceful site and so lovely waking up to birdsong in the morning. Spacious pitches with water tap, brick bbq and picnic bench. Lovely dog walk and although we didn’t see the beavers we saw their handiwork.... Show more

Our New Favourite!
Wow, what a fabulous CL, now become our new favourite. Very peaceful, lots of space around fully serviced pitches on an immaculately kept site, that the owners obviously take pride in. Terrific short strolls around their own woods and interesting to see what the Beavers create. Access fine,... Show more

What a Gem
We had a break over the May Bank holiday. What a find. Peace, tranquility, views, spotless, easy to find and access. Even though the weather was not the best, this site was perfect. It is spotless and very well maintained. We will most definitely return! Thank you

Delightful - Peaceful - Tranquil - Spotless
Venn Farm - totally glorious. The site itself is beautifully well kept. Fantastic facilities for a CL site. Wonderful dog walks - secure paddock and super woods to walk in - along with observing where the Beavers are present - sadly didn’t see any. Owners incredibly helpful and very warming.... Show more
