Lovely site in a great location to explore North Devon.

We stayed here for the first time a few weeks ago and we will certainly return at some point. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the excellent facilities were very well kept and they were all very busy in keeping the site to a high standard. Plenty of choice of great pitches in good condition and the site is very well located to explore the whole of North Devon. We will certainly stay here again and recommend it!

Recent visit

Having recently stayed at Willingcot club site our initial thoughts on arrival was that the site looked very unloved and very unkept. The grass looked like it needed a good cut and looked a bit like a field with pitches! Not at all pretty. Also, there are no security barriers to stop people entering and leaving the site. Won't be rushing back!

Lovely Site good location. Facilities are modern spacious and very clean ( the best facilities we have had all holiday). Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Excellent location drove the motorhome to Ilfracombe and Barnstable both have car parks that cater for motorhome and access was easy. Lovely end to our holiday would visit this site again and highly recommend.

Geocaching Trip

Stayed a few days on this nice quiet site right next to the Tarka Trail. This well surfaced bike friendly path took us to the top of Ilfracombe not into it I might add as we looked at the Big slope down into the town and even with electric bikes turned around. All not lost as we stayed on this site to go Geocaching and the hides along the trail were fantastic , well wort doing and managed to get all we looked for that day. Some other rides did mean we went up some hills that we are sure was too tough for the Tour de France...Vive la Electricity... Friendly wardens and so were the other campers on site.

Credit to the wardens

We stayed early September & rate this site 100% for cleanliness, it's a peaceful well run site & a credit to the wardens, it's by far one of the best sites we've stayed at, it was full during our stay but the toilets & showers were always spotlessly clean & available, other members have commented on the narrow roads but hey this is Devon, we had no difficulty towing our 8mtr + Buccaneer to & from the site. The only down side we had & this was nothing to do with the C&M site was the expensive parking in Woolacombe it's geared up for surfing etc & £8 per day was an absolute rip off so we just avoided the resort, the views however are breath taking.

Lovely site

I stayed with my husband and dog here last week. The toilet and shower cubicles were clean, the showers were very warm and stayed on, unlike some where you need to keep pressing the button to have more water. The week we stayed there was gardening maintenance, the gardener was very friendly and clearly liked dogs. We had a lovely pitch, which is shown on the club site photo, overlooking the fields, close to the toilet and shower block. The site is on a slight hill which gives children the opportunity to go down the hill the wrong on the one way system very fast, we saw a few children come off their bikes and scooters and a lot of near misses with oncoming cars. There a dog pit stop area which is small so I walked my dog along the very quiet pathway that goes into Ilfracombe. The biggest issue we had was the roads going to Croyde and Putsborough beach, very narrow one lane roads with hardly any passing areas, we did attempt to go to Putsborough but the road was very busy with a lot of stalemate with the cars, so we spent our days at beautiful Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Hele beach, there are a lot of rock pools at Ilfracombe beach, be careful with dogs that haven't got the greatest recall! We decided to come home two days early as our main reason we booked here was for Putsborough beach, I left a message on the office answer phone telling them we were leaving, within five minutes they contacted us and said we would get a one day refund as we were leaving early. Lovely site but will not be back due to the almost impossible roads around the site.

Disappointed

Out of all the club sites we have visited our first visit to Willingcott was somewhat disappointing. The whole site looked "tied" & unkempt. The grass & hedgerows had not been cut for quite a while, & the weeds were well established in the hardstanding areas. It desperately needs some TLC, which means spending some money on improvements. A walkway along the hedgerows would vastly improve access to the only toilet block, if we maintained the etiquette of not walking across pitches 10k steps would easily be achieved walking the winding roadways. Also less grass & muck would be left on the toilet & shower floors.

A great British beach holiday

We stayed in a motorhome for five nights with a tent and had a great time. The centre was clean and the wardens friendly and helpful, especially when we needed bolt cutters to remove a broken bike lock. The local bus service was just at the top of the road, but as there were four of us it was cheaper to travel by taxi - numbers are in the information room. It is a great walk/cycle down to Ilfracombe and good exercise climbing the hill back to the campsite. Woolacombe Beach was lovely and dog friendly. Marine Drive parking was expensive if only staying for a short time, but allowed fantastic views across the beach. Our only minor issue was a slight toilet smell - maybe it was just our pitch and maybe we were close to the septic tank. It didn't really affect our holiday as these things happen. I would also recommend taking an outside tap connector as these weren't provided.

Great location and facilities but....

Whilst the site was lovely, and the location was great. Our holiday was ruined by people playing ball games to close to our caravan after we were told on arrival no ball games allowed under any circumstances, loud music playing late into the evening on our neighbouring pitch after repeatedly asjed them to turn it down and people have 'relations' in the shower cubical next to my wife and 3 year old daughter. Site staff nowhere to be seen after 8pm at night. I would not recommend this site if your a young family looking for peace and quiet! If on the other hand your looking to be noisy, break rules and have some fun in a shower cubical then this is place for you!

Nicely maintained, but ….

This was a nice site, but a bit in the middle of nowhere. Woolacombe can only be reached down a narrow, very steep and very busy main road…. not to be contemplated on a bike (not even an ebike), and a very unpleasant walk (no pavements / verges). The bus is by far the best option, The cycle ride to Ilfracombe is much nicer - basically a traffic-free 4+ mile freewheel downhill on an old railway track. It’s a bit of a slog on the way back, though…. especially the first half mile or so climbing out of Ilfracome, which is VERY steep (put too much pressure on in low gear and your front wheel lifts off the ground 😳). The claim about “glimpses of Lundy” seems very far-fetched indeed - we couldn’t see the sea from anywhere on this site.
