 This site is set in a beautiful valley with walking access down a track to Combe Martin - the beach has wonderful rockpools.
But, be warned, on arrival there is a very tight turn into the site with a fast road and blind bend. Dangerous for walking along.
Staff were friendly and helpful and in evidence around the site.
Toilet/shower facilities were very good, clean and modern.
The site itself is on different levels but connected by a mixture of tarmac and rubble roadways.
We had booked a premier, hard standing, serviced pitch. The serviced aspect was fine but the hard standing was truly atrocious with thinly spread grit and rubble and was covered in weeds- some ankle high. The grit got into our van at each entry and really made us feel that this part of the site has been ignored. There is evidence of newly constructed bricked hard standing pitches, but we booked months ago and still ended up with the worst pitch we had ever experienced.
The grass pitches in contrast seemed well kept.
Attention definitely needs to be given to those who have paid a premium for hard standing. A few bags of gravel and, despite the laudable conservation aims of the site, some weedkiller is needed. Also, the road leading out of the site is very badly cracked and not a good surface for a caravan to travel over.
The whole site is a weird mixture of well done new parts with very poor rundown parts.
In truth this was, for us, a disappointing experience. We felt cheated and will not return.

Just returned from this excellent site. When we arrived at reception the staff were friendly and helpful, we were shown to our pitch, a premium fully serviced pitch, it was a good sized level pitch with grass and a lovely extra, our own picnic table and bench. The site is set on 3 levels in small groups, so you never felt overlooked. Large meadow to walk the dogs and also lovely woodland walks where the dogs can run free. Superb toilet and shower facilities along with laundry and pot washing area. A short stroll into Combe Martin and the dog friendly Newberry beach. A lovely place with nice shops and pubs.
I couldn't fault this wonderful site, we will definitely visit again.

This was our first time away in our motorhome, and we were slightly apprehensive. Directions to campsite, was really easy to find (and no need for sat nav.) On arrival personally welcomed and shown to our pitch, also explaining where the facilities were. Also a map of the site and what is on in Devon etc. Facilities consist of individual shower/washing/toilet rooms. Washing up area, and the use of micro wave and fridge if needed. All areas spotless. There is a play area for the children, but no club house.
The Staff were friendly and hard working. Always appeared to be on hand if needed.
Dogs are allowed as long as on the lead. Only 5 minutes away to dog beach, but plenty of walks through the woods. Combe Martin only 5 minutes away, but it could be difficult if you have trouble in walking.
This is a place to relax and unwind, but if you want to tour surrounding area very near to other places of interest.
Thank you to all the staff for making our weekend, wish we could have stayed longer.

This is a beautiful site set in a valley with a fishing lake. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful holiday this is the place. The pitches are large, plenty of room for your awning many with picnic table and benches. It's a clean well kept site, the facilities are good and the wardens are very helpful. There is a lovely dog walk with a meadow for them to run free. The village is a short walk downhill, steep uphill return. Don't try it if you are disabled, too steep for a scooter. The village has everything you need, bakery, Spar shop, post office, novelties, cafe. The Pack of Cards at the top of the town does a Sunday carvery with music in the garden. Plenty of places to visit in the area along the coast. Would recommend this site.

Really disappointed with the site to be honest. Came here for two nights having spent some time here last year. After being told by the wardens that the site was due to be improved on for 2016. It was on that information that we chose this site again.
Seriously. We felt Let down.
The weather did not help at all but only proved to point out some of the issues that were in need of addressing. The hard standing pitches along the top were heavily covered in weeds and the drainage from the hardstanding pitches was in some cases, non existent! Our pitch was more like that of a pond! The water collected around our truck like we were on / in. Some sort of a moat!
Insufficient hardcore down on the pitches (again. Along the top selection as we were on there) just made you feel that these have been forgotten?
This has the potential to be a very 'special' site, but although it commands a high price to be here, it is not reflected in the level of what is offered here.
Maintenance could be greatly improved on most definitely. I'm sure the costs to stay here should be put forward to improve the look especially when it comes to the gravelled pitches? It's not asking a lot.
Why in today's lifestyle. Is wifi charged extra here? Everyone now a days, relies on some form of connection to the ' modern world'. Here it is charged for extra to the high fee already paid for the pitch?
This was the dearest site we have stopped on, and even though it was on a medium rate pitch, it was and is expensive in comparison to a lot of others with wifi included.
There is the option to mention the issues to the owners so that they can address the faults found and make our/your stay, a better one. The problems here required looking at before the season began and not at the point of stopping over surely?
Disappointed.

Just returned from a week's break at Newberry valley. What can we say, 5 star in every respect, fabulous ablution facilities! Have never experienced having a whole bathroom suite to myself before on a campsite! I do however wonder if there are enough facilities to cater for everyone during peak months. Excellent pubs and eateries within walking distance and ilfracombe a short drive away as is woolacombe. Staff we met were friendly and helpful, did not use the on site shop but looked well stocked and facility to order bread, rolls and cakes etc for the following day. All in all a thoroughly pleasant experience, good dog walking areas too with meadow and woodland.
Would certainly consider a return visit.

Stayed for 4 nights and had no problems whatsoever
The toilet blocks are immaculate
The dog walking facilities are great
The staff cannot be more friendly and helpful
The pubs in the village nearest the harbour are good value
If you like fishing don't forget your kit as I did as the lake is full of very large carp and was kicking myself for 4 days (£6 for full day)
Would recommend the site to anyone

My wife and I looked forward to our week at Newberry valley as it looked lovely in the brochure and at first sight we weren't disappointed. The facilities were 1st class with individual shower rooms complete with toilet and washbasin.
We were placed at the end of the valley down a rutted rough track which was quite a way from the facilities, when we were shown to our pitch I was a little apprehensive as the ground appeared to be quite wet and there hadn't been much rain for a while!
Our second night it rained very hard and in the morning we saw that the ground was very boggy and didn't appear to drain very quickly, after a few hours mud came up through our groundsheet!
We have been on sites where its rained constantly for over 24 hours and they haven't been as bad as this one!
If you want a good well drained pitch ask for one like the seasonal staff use I know we didn't pay for the best but we at least expect it to be reasonably drained!
Combe Martin is a nice little town with a couple of reasonable pubs and the usual gift shops,
Newberry Valley could be a lot better if they dealt with the drainage problem and the rutted collapsing tracks after all they charge enough!
Would we return. ? No!
PS the staff were very nice.

Had 4 lovely days at Newberry Valley. It was a massive bonus that the weather was brilliant, but that didn't alter the park itself. Though we don't use the washroom facilities (preferring to use our own on board), I went over to have a look at them. They were exceptionally clean and well thought out. The park was quiet whilst we were there, just the sound of farm animals in the distance and birds in the mornings. We had chosen a premium pitch which was absolutely first class - the best we've had anywhere to be honest! But the other pitches were also lovely. The fishing lake is attractive and pleasant to walk around, spotting huge fish as you go. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly, stopping to pass the time of day, when they were out and about.
Coombe Martin is a short walk away, very attractive with supermarkets, bakery, butchers and various eateries, including a lovely fish and chip shop!
There are two buses a day into Lynton and Lynmouth, worth a visit (even our friendly bus driver had good things to say about Newberry Valley!) and buses going into Ilfracoombe on a regular basis.
Newberry Valley is an idyllic site to pitch your unit. We only wish we could have stayed longer - we stayed an extra day as it was!

This was our first visit to Newberry Vally Park, and what a pleasant surprise. We arrived with two border collie adolescent dogs, who had never been camping before, so was unsure how they would settle down. The wardens were very pleasant and always had a smile and time to chat whilst on their rounds. The site itself is lovely and the shower block immaculate (the best we have ever seen) There was a nice woodland walk and a meadow (but the dogs had to be on leads) We pitched on the new premium serviced site which had electric, water and best of all a wooden bench/table. It was a 5 minute walk to the nearest dog friendly beach, and a little further to the pubs, shops. All the pubs are dog friendly, and our two usually got a dog biscuit or two from the locals and staff. We had nice meals at the Pack of Cards ( a further 10 minute walk away) which had a lovely beer garden, The Dolphin, And The Foc'sle which had nice outside tables overlooking the beach. The best place we found for walking the dogs was the National Trust site Heddons Mouth, Just follow the signs to The Hunters Inn off the A39 from Combe Martin to Lymouth Road, approx 6 miles away. There is around 6 circular walks, up to the clifftop moors joining the south west coastal or to the sea along the river. Returning back from our walk to the Hunters Inn for a refreshing drink and a light lunch. Overall we had a great holiday, we only booked initially for 3 nights, and ended up staying a further 2 nights. Highly recommended, we will definitely return again
