Superb views and great location

We stayed here in a campervan on a hard pitch at the top of the site. The pitches are large and are well-positioned for views of the sea and Welsh coast. It is exposed but what a view! The position of the site means that there are many good circular walks. Not only is the coastline beautiful, but wooded valleys lead down to the coast as well. At this time of year, the fields are fully of primroses and violets. It is about a 35 minute walk down to Lee Bay where a 400m walk takes you to the Grampus Inn (no meals on Sun evening). But beware the 500 foot walk back up to the campsite! There were lists of bus times at reception, so it looks feasible to walk and bus in the area. There's a lovely friendly, well-stocked (for its size) shop: fresh croissants in the morning. There is also wifi, during shop hours, in the shop courtyard (£1 daily fee goes to the local hospice). A friendly welcome and good, clean facilities. It's a good location for exploring Woolacombe, Barnstaple and Ilfracombe - we can't wait to return.

Isolated? We prefer peaceful/rural/tranquil.

This is one of our favourite sites. Stunning views over gorgeous countryside and coast, over to South Wales if weather is clear. Obviously exposed and open to the elements we would thoroughly recommend double pegging any awning and using storm straps - even if weather is calm when you arrive! Superb facilities - lovely showers and there are white plastic chairs available in the bottom block if you wish to take one in your shower cubicle. Shop is small and well stocked and all staff are helpful and friendly.  Regarding a previous negative review titled 'isolated' there is a bus service - last return from Woolacombe is 17.58 hours, which stops at Mortehoe at 18.06 hours. There are also buses to Ilfracombe and Barnstaple. Superb walks from the site and some great cycling but the hills are a challenge.  We would thoroughly recommend this site.
