Higher Twitchen CL is well positioned for exploring the rugged North Devon coast. We are on the edge of the Exmoor National Park and a short drive from the golden sandy beaches of Woolacombe, Saunton and Croyde.

Fantastic site.

Higher Twitchen
What an absolutely pristine and lovely site. From booking which was professional and straightforward with promptly answered emails and immediate invoice and acknowledgment of payment received by Sam, to the welcome from Mark when we arrived on site. Superb hardstanding pitch with exclusive water, EHU and grey waste drainage. The pitch was perfectly level with a good sized area of grass alongside the hardstanding. Mark kindly sorted us some hose to connect to the drain. The Elsan and recycling enclosure were absolutely spotless with clearly marked bins for separated recycling. Approach to the site was excellent and having the coded gate made for a really secure area. An absolute bonus was the stunning sunrise and sunset, just the icing on the cake. Thank you both for a most relaxing and comfortable stay. Will definitely return.

Such a great find! The perfect location to explore North Devon, the site is well maintained and clean. Mark and Sam were great hosts and a great source of information. If you want to explore the beautiful Devon scenery and Exmoor, then this is the place. Would definitely recommend the site and will be returning in the future.

Amazing CL

Higher Twitchen
This was our third visit to this site. Sam and Mark were extremely friendly and helpful as ever. The site is nice and quiet with lovely rural views and clean facilities. The site is perfectly situated to visit the coast around Combe Martin, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe. We used it as a base to walk a good stretch of the South West Coast Path from Lynton to Barnstaple. We used Mark's caravan repair services for a small repair on our last visit which was very professionally done. We will definitely be returning to this site again.

Fabulous site great owners

Higher Twitchen
This is a great site. Mark and Sam are welcoming and friendly. This is a good location for Exmoor especially Lyndon, Ilfracombe and getting to Lundy island. We found the site a special place to stay. We plan to return. We were well looked after and stayed for 7 nights. I think it is one of the best places and friendly places to stay. We are staying 100 nights on this trip April to end July 2021, and this is a Jen.

Excellent

Higher Twitchen
Higher Twitchen is one of the best CL’s we have stayed on. Booking was a pleasure, as Sam is very organised – we liked the confirmation emails and proper invoicing. Site security is very good as the site has a coded entry for the gate. The field slopes very slightly but pitching was easy. The site is well laid out and well maintained. Sam and Mark are excellent hosts, not intrusive but friendly and readily available if needed. The location is very good for easy access to Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Lynton and Lynmouth and Clovelley. Having read the single poor review below I feel I have to state that I found none of the issues the reviewer raised applied in our case. We had an excellent one week stay, and would not hesitate to return.
