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.

Well planned and well managed
Venn Farm
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 tap, EHU point, grey waste facility, brick barbecue, picnic table and hard standing. The free wi-fi worked well. I also enjoyed watching all the activity on a busy bird feeder with great tits, woodpeckers and a nuthatch competing with a squirrel. Everyone got their share.
Venn Farm’s situation is very rural and most pleasant. There are no nearby shops, pubs or villages of any size so stock up before arrival. All in all, an excellent site.

Fabulous Site !!
Venn Farm
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 / Bude and Tintagel were all visited during our stay. The site is beautifully maintained by the owner who is very helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to return again
Great CL
Venn Farm
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. Will definitely stay again going to or coming back from Cornwall.

Our New Favourite!
Venn Farm
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, with a large twin axle caravan, with only a couple of cheeky spots with passing places as you near the site. Follow the directions on the website (repeated on their own website) and go via Roadford Resevoir. Do not go via Launceston and approach the site from the west unless you are in a small VW type camper van. Terrific value and we'll definitely try and return.
What a Gem
Venn Farm
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
