VW-Type Campervan - Beggar's Field Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

I think the 5 star-rating says it all! We had a great couple of days. Lynton and Lynmouth are 2 miles away and a trip on the Cliff Railway is a must! We will be booking again.

Thank you for the glowing 5-star review! 🌟 We're so glad you had a great stay and enjoyed the local attractions like the Cliff Railway. We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit soon! πŸš‚πŸ˜Š

VW-Type Campervan - Bay View Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

In terms of the quality of customer service, this is the best campsite I have ever stayed at! Aggie and Ian couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. After a long journey, such a pleasant greeting can't be overstated. Ian took time to explain short walks and Aggie lent me a bottle opener. Nothing was too much trouble. The site was well maintained, pitches were generous size and showers were lovely. We will definitely be returning.

VW-Type Campervan - Bay View Electric Grass and Gravel PitchesJul 2024

We had Bay View Pitch 1, it was beautiful views and there was a dog walk area very near by. A good sized pitch, the facilities were kept clean day and night, it was a well cared for site. There were lots of friendly people too. It was sad to leave, but will be back.

Motorhome - Rabbit Field Serviced Hardstanding PitchesJul 2024

A lovely clean and tidy site with very good facilities. The showers were clean shower and toilets. There was a good size walking field for dogs off their lead and also an on lead dog walk available. Not far from several beaches and coves,but you do need a car to get to them.

Site's response

It sounds like you had a very enjoyable and relaxing time! The clean and tidy site, along with good facilities and ample dog walking areas, seem to have contributed to a great experience.

Motorhome - Rabbit Field Serviced Hardstanding PitchesJul 2024

This site is amazing! Very well kept, everywhere was clean and tidy, the dog field was huge and there were great views from lots of the pitches. All the staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful, and there was a food van in the evening and fresh hot breakfast pastries available to pre order. It's worth noting that it's a very steep decent/ascent to Lynton and Lynmouth. Unfortunately, there's no bus service, however we used Riverside Taxis to bring us back up a couple of times who provided a great service!

Large Tent - Bay View Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2024

Lynmouth Holiday Retreat is an exceptional campsite. The staff are all extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and professional and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. The facilities are of an excellent standard, good capacity and very clean. Scenic views of sea and/or wooded valleys from the pitches. Lynmouth and Lynton are lovely villages and can both be reached via pleasant off-road woodland walks. The staff recommended lots of things to do locally, some highlights included visiting Valley of Rocks just outside Lynton and dinner at the 14th century Rising Sun in Lynmouth. We will return to the site before too long I'm sure!

We've just got home from a fabulous week staying at Lynmouth Holiday Retreat on one of the the Bay view pitches. Wow! What can I say? What a beautiful location and we couldn't fault the site at all. Tranquillity, spotlessly clean, lovely little shop, incredible walks and views. We couldn't have wished for better and can't wait to book again and bring our family and small grandbabies too. Thank you for a truly memorable holiday.

This was a great campsite. The pitches were large and having a patio table was a bonus. The views were great. Fantastic dog walking and an enclosed field for a run but plenty of lovely walks. Dog shower was a nice addition. The food van was amazing lush food. We had a Tex-Mex and were not disappointed. You can order from a bakery in reception for next morning. The showers, toilets and all facilities were spotless, 5 stars from us. Dishwasher too and you could hire power banks. This site really has it all. Very tranquil at night. The area itself has a lot to offer, Lynton and Lynmouth within walking distance. We definitely will be returning for a week this year. What a lovely find.

Single Axle Caravan - Beggar's Field Serviced Hardstanding PitchesJun 2024

This is without a doubt a hidden treasure of a site. From the breath-taking views, to the cleanliness and fabulous maintenance of the site. The staff are amazing. From the moment you get there, you're met with a warm welcome. At reception, you can order freshly baked bread and pastries for the morning. On site itself, there's a good wagon that's open on Thursday to Saturday and on a Tuesday the pizza van comes round. All food is amazing and to a high quality. The facilities are spotless and they even have a separate shower and toilet for people with disabilities, you will need a radar key for this, but it's a great idea to prevent everyone using it. They also have 2 family shower rooms which is a great idea for parents with young children. The site itself is situated in an ideal location for several seaside places. There's a foot trail to Lynmouth if you enjoy a walk. It's peaceful and tranquil and can't wait to return next year.
