Hi all

Looking for a CL for June this year in the Woolacombe, North Devon area.   I'm sure I saw a recent posting where someone either owned or had been to one and it had a good recommendation but despite using the search facilitiy I can't seem to find the thread. 

Therefore, does anyone have any recommendations for this area, would like to be near to the coast and also any cycling routes as we usually take our bikes. 

Alternatively, does anyone have any experience of the CMC sites in that area.   I notice the Ilfracombe one doesn't have toilets, which doesn't bother us.    We only need hook up as use our van facilities.

Thanks in advance for any help.

We used Willingcot Club site last September.  Nice site but quite exposed to the wind.  Road to it narrow in places, but only a short stretch.

Have also used the AS just along the road from it.....much longer stretch of narrow road to it,but good facilities and views.  Again quite exposed .

Hi Moonstone, my wife and I have a CL in North Devon we are situated five miles from Combe Martin on the edge of Exmoor National Park. We are approx half an hours drive from Woolacombe.

We are an adults only site and we do not accept dogs. Our hardstanding pitches are serviced with individual tap and grey water drain and we have a toilet but no shower, £14 a night.

Thanks for reading 

Andrew

We've stayed at the Ilfracombe club site, it's not bad, high up and a bit open to the elements, excellent value, steepish walk down busy lane to a pub and shop.

Here's a CL near the Tarka Trail if you like cycling.

The roads around Willingcott are fairly typical in that area and anywhere on that north coast is likely to be exposed to the elements. 

This a fair bit further west in Cornwall but still on that north coast.

We've stopped there a couple times and would use it again if in the area. Largish field adjacent which provides a decent dog walk, if required.

Nicola, is this the way forward now following the Matchmaker Trial? Not heard how it went, as it was originally open to the first 10 applicants. What's the situation?

Hi Nellie

As it was tried in the run up to Christmas and then Christmas/New Year break it hasn't actually been followed up on yet regarding moving forward or not with it....we are all just getting back into our stride.  I'm sure something will be posted on here before too long.smile
