Hi all,

we are looking for a caravan site around Illfracombe for end of May. Would like good kids play area, dog walk, electric h/up, not to large and not to expensive please. We will look away from Illfracome, like Combe Martin, Barnstaple?

  Hope someone has good Idea's? We stayed at the Hidden vally last in October, really nice site, but a bit costly in May.

         Many thanks,

Hi. If you go to Stowford farm meadows/Stowford Country Holidays before 25th May, you can take advantage of thier special offer of a week stay, including EHU, awning and up to 6 people for the grand price of £39.90! After the 25th its peak season.

Ive stayed many times, it is a huge site, but, out of season you have all the space you could ever ask for. I always stay on field 5, the showers are lush, and have underfloor heating for the low season.

Have a great time wherever you decide.

The link above is not the site I was thinking of, Stowford Farm Meadows is near Combe Martin.

We're off to Damage Barton in August...OH booked it so I don't even know how pricey it is!!!! It's a working farm, with a seperate CC & CCC sites next to each other!! It appears to be right on the coast, and I'm fairly sure it's along the stretch of coast you're looking at.

CC site only has about 45 pitches, not sure about CCC though.

We have been to Damage Barton last September. The "working farm" is well away from the caravan site itself, in fact you walk down through the farm to the cliff edge. It is a fair hike and if you have kids or pushchairs it will be tough as its downhill there and of course up on the way back. The site itself is pleasant and the pitches are well spaced. We spent most of our time off site either in Woolacombe or Ilfracombe. It is CC and C&CC, they are side by side.    

I can thoroughly recommend both Damage Barton and Stowford. We have looked at nearly all the sites in this area and feel that they are both by far, the best. Avoid at all costs Twichen etc.

Hi

We are going to Damage Barton in August in a tent, can't wait.  Hope it is half as good as the reviews on here.

Hi Jerry+Tina,

thanks for that - we have two youngsters (6 + 9) who both love  getting out into the countryside, so this sounds like just the place - in fact it appears to get the thumbs up from everyone!!!
