Curlew Farm CL review By The White's

Friday 12th - Sun 14th July 2024. We have just returned from a lovely 2 night Stay at Curlew Farm on Trinity Hill,Axminster.We arrived after a easy trip and great directions with easy access to the site with our 8ft wide Twin axle Caravan. As our eldest boy had a football match in Lyme regis(perfect and only 8 mins away) We arrived and was able to choose which pitch we wanted to stay at with EHU with beautiful views of the sea and countryside absolutely stunning.Once set up the sun was shining so out came the Chairs to enjoy a nice cuppa and Relax.(We love going to CL sites) We had a lovely welcome from Owner Jackie and she loved seeing a family of 4 and made our 2 children very welcome.Great location for Lyme Regis,Dorset area with Honiton and Exeter also close by and River cottage HQ,nice little cafe with stunning views 5 mins up the road. We really enjoyed this CL.Yes there is a country road behind field,this did not bother us and boys loved seeing all the tractors and milk tankers passing by. Also Was so lovely to be on site with some lovely fellow Campers. Highly Recommend this CL. Plenty of space for boys to play and enjoy the outside.

Peaceful CL close to Lyme Regis

Ideally placed CL for Lyme Regis. The owner came out to meet us, which is always nice. All grass pitches are along a hedge next to a long straight road - not busy, but vehicles travelling at speed were quite noisy. This didn’t really cause a problem and the site is really quiet in between. Fabulous sunsets.

Lovely stay

We have just stayed for 4 nights. The views are fabulous and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Pitches level , and access to the site is easy. Location is great for Lyme and the surrounding areas. If you are looking for the bare minimum of a well kept field and use your own facilities ( which suits us) and welcoming hosts, then try this little gem .

Views views and more views

This is a great site with amazing views Jackie let us pick our pitch and there is loads of room between them so no noise from the other pitches. If you don't like the sound of baby lambs, calf's and farm animals this is not the site for you. The site is properly on one of the highest points around so you may need your storm straps for your awning as it can be gusty in April. We can't wait to go back at some point.

Friendly Site with Views

Stayed here during start of August with two grandchildren to go Fossil Hunting at Lyme Regis. Site is what it says it is a working farm and hence there are associated odours and flies which are only to be expected. Road along the side of the site has new tar-mac and consequently used as a cut through to the A35. More traffic and faster traffic than I expected for a small country road. Lyme Regis was very disappointing lack of fossils to collect but plenty to see in the form of a grumpy old local (yokel) man walking his dog on the west beach who told us to **** off clearly did not like the tourists who subsidise his town. Give Lyme Regis a miss and head for Bridport or Charmouth much better much friendlier. Bridport has a fine museum to keep children occupied and the locals seem friendly. All that aside the site is good value, access is easy but avoid driving or towing through Lyme Regis town itself at all costs. Views across to Devon are tremendous and site is a good base for exploring the East Devon/Dorset borders. TV signal is very very good, (forgot to plug the aerial lead into the aerial on the van and still got a picture). Large supermarket at Seaton within 10 minutes of site. The site is level and we did not need any leveling blocks. We enjoyed ourselves in spite of the occasional heavy rain. It was only the fast road at the rear and the fact that Lyme Regis is not all it is cracked up to be that has decided us on marking the site as four stars and not five both of which are of course out of the control of the owner Jackie who was very friendly and helpful.

Lovely views

We stayed here for 5 nights during the 2018 hot spell and it was too hot to venture far with our dogs or to leave them in the van whilst we went out (not a complaint) and so we did plenty of sitting outside, reading and relaxing. We had one day where there were a lot of very small black insects, which caused discomfort but, again, the weather was to blame. The views across the countryside are beautiful. The entrance is quite narrow and the road is too, so be aware both on approach and when leaving. Another caravanner assisted us on our leaving - thanks. There is a small single track road down the side of the site, which can be used to walk dogs but we found a lovely forest walk about a mile back on Trinity Hill Road towards the A35. We only saw the owner once, who was then going away for a few days. Before pitching up make sure that you are within reach of one of the electric hook up points as they are quite spaced out with 2 points on each one. The toilet emptying point is hidden away near to the site entrance. No criticisms of the site - basic -but had all we look for and needed. The weather certainly helped us enjoy ourselves.

2nd visit and love it

We spent 4 nights at Curlew Farm last week and this was our second visit to this lovely site. The views are outstanding even thought the 4 days we were there were very wet and windy. We hope to make more use of this site as we love the area and its ideal for visits to Lyme Regis, Seaton, Sidmouth and the Donkey Sanctuary.

Lovely views

Friendly owner, Jackie. Basic site but quiet. Minor road runs behind the site, the odd tractor but doesn't disturb. There were cows in the field opposite when we visited, they were quite inquisitive and followed us up and down the fence to the water tap. Good position for visiting Lyme and Seaton. We stayed a week and pitched our awning no problem. The views down the hill are lovely in the evening with the sun setting. We would visit again.

Peaceful with views

Stayed here for three nights in August. Spacious pitches in a rural setting. There is a road on the other side of the hedge from the site but it was never intrusive or a problem being a quiet country road. Lovely far reaching views. Convenient for Seaton, Lyme Regis and Axminster. Recommended if you are looking for a peaceful site with excellent views. The best way to approach the site is from the Axminster direction (as described in the directions) as the turn from the other direction is tight.
