Lynmouth Holiday Retreat Reviews

Lynmouth retreat

Great location and a good walk into Lynmouth and Lynton. Walking shoes required to walk the route into and from Lynmouth as the path is slippery in the wet and steep in places. Walk not suitable with people who have mobility issues.

Absolutely amazing

Everything about this place was beautiful. The staff were extremely welcoming and assisted us when we had any queries or needed assistance. The area is wonderful and there is a lot to do. Would 100% recommend!

Excellent site

Great campsite we would highly recommend. The team were so genuinely friendly and kind.

Our opinion!

Though the staff were very attentive I'm afraid this site is not for us! It was very difficult to get to as the roads were very narrow, extremely steep and very winding, not ideal for a 7.5m motorhome towing a car! Also, the pitch was on a slope and we'd forgotten our levelling ramps 🤦‍♀️

fab place !

highly recommended. fabulous facilities and very clean. will definitely come again next time.

Our first night in our camper

Our shake down night in our new to us camper and it was great😃 We arrived a little early but were greeted with a smile and a ready and waiting pitch. Rabbit Field 2 pitch had great views and is close to the newly refurbished ablutions and the cocktail van 👍😍 Small shop on site allows you to buy a few bits and offers some breakfast items, and Daz the company cocktail guy opens up at 9am to provide breakfast rolls ….. all very nice Very nice 100% recommend 👍

Peace and quiet

First class facilities, great location and really friendly, helpful staff. Well laid out pitches. Cleanest facilities we have ever seen. A long walk down hill to villages and very steep walk back.

Thank you for your lovely review! 🌿 We're so pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet, our first-class facilities, and the friendly service from our team 😊 It’s great to hear the layout and cleanliness stood out – we take real pride in that 🧼✨ That hill definitely adds to the adventure but we hope the views and village charm made it worth it! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon 🏕️💚

Hikers paradise

Perfectly located for hikers. Close to Exmoor and a walk into Lynmouth or Lynton. The walks into Lynmouth and Lynton are on heavy gradients so be aware and make sure you have appropriate footwear. Short drives to Coombe Martin, Porlock, Ilfracombe and other coastal sites. Site is extremely well kept and the staff are very friendly, you get the feeling nothing would be too much trouble if you had any problems. Facilities are excellent. My only small complaint would be that the toilets and shower rooms were not heated during my stay and at times, they were very cold. It made showering a little unpleasant. All in all though, I believe it is a great site and well worth a visit.

Brilliant Stay in Lynmouth Holiday Retreat

A fantastic week in a fabulous location - a top class site in every respect. Will definitely visit again!

Fantastic site with extremely friendly and helpful staff!

Fantastic site, very well kept and clean, excellent clean facilities. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again.

A lovely place

Really clean, beautiful location. Facilities were really good, toilets included a hair dryer. Overall, a lovely place. Just to note, the pub next door is closed permanently.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We're thrilled you enjoyed the clean facilities, beautiful location, and appreciated the little touches like the hair dryer in the toilets. Regarding the pub, we understand it's disappointing – it's permanently closed, but please note that it's under separate ownership and out of our control. We hope this didn’t affect your stay too much, and we'd love to welcome you back soon!

Peaceful

I cannot recommend this site highly enough. I stayed for three nights in the middle of October my first solo trip away in my campervan. Although, one tiny downside is most of the pitches you'll need blocks for your vans as they all have a slight slope. I forgot mine, however, the staff said that I could have any one of the free pitches available to move to, so extremely accommodating. I've yet to go to a campsite with such good facilities. The toilet shower block all seem to be very new or if not kept in extremely good condition. What was lovely was when I went for a shower and it was freezing outside, the whole block was nice and warm! There are washing sinks with a small dishwasher, a freezer where you can put your ice blocks and a power bank for mobile devices. Lynton and Lynmouth is a beautiful place to visit quite a steep walk down to the town however, plenty of parking around, bear in mind it was mid October that I went. Valley of rocks is simply stunning. Also visited Ilfracombe half an hour drive away, which was worth a visit.

Site's response

Your first solo trip in a campervan sounds like a memorable adventure! It's great that the staff were accommodating and that the facilities exceeded your expectations. The warm shower block on a chilly day must have been a treat! Sounds like you made the most of exploring Lynton, Lynmouth, and even ventured out to Ilfracombe. Thanks for sharing your experience, and hope there are more peaceful trips in your future!

Lovely quiet site

Lovely site with plenty of space. Very well kept with clean facilities, plenty of toilets, showers and pot washing sinks. You can walk to Lynton and Lynmouth through the fields and woods but it's hard going coming back. Just a few bits that people might be interested in if deciding to book - there is no lighting around the camping field so it's pitch black after dark - great for star gazing but you need a torch if you don't want to trip up. Also, there are no privacy cubicles in the facilities if you just want a wash or clean teeth in private. Take a torch into the facilities because the sensor doesn't pick up movement in toilets or showers - I learnt that one quickly!

Site's response

Sounds like you had a great stay! The lack of lighting does make it perfect for stargazing, but definitely something to keep in mind for future visitors who might not be prepared for the dark. Glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and clean facilities!

Beautiful campsite!

A great campsite with incredible views. The facilities are modern and the showers are hot! Love the inside washing up area too, it's a nice touch. Will definitely be back 😊

Site's response

Thank you for the lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed the views, modern facilities, and hot showers 🚿 The indoor washing-up area is a favourite of ours too! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon 😊⛺

Amazing stay in a beautiful location

A beautiful location with walking distance to Lynmouth and the local pubs. The facilities were amazing and clean. The bell tent itself was cosy and the bed was comfortable, highly recommend.

Our stay

Absolutely loved our stay here and had a fantastic holiday. Exceptionally clean toilet facilities and a very clean campsite, the only thing that was lacking was maybe a bigger shop. September is always a gamble with the weather and we had all sorts from sunny days to howling winds, rain and frost, but we really enjoyed Devon and West Somerset.

Site's response

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you had a fantastic holiday and appreciated our clean facilities 🧼🚿 A bigger shop is a great suggestion, and we'll take it on board. September weather can be a rollercoaster, but we're thrilled it didn't dampen your Devon adventure! Looking forward to hosting you again soon 😊

Lack of information

Nothing wrong with the site, only the location. The views aren't the best, depending on your pitch. The pub restaurant been closed next door permanently. No bus route and dangerous roads to walk from the retreat. Their is a couple of walks from the retreat to Lynton and Lynmouth, they are a mile and a half each way. Not the best for disabled. Won't go there again.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the site itself to your liking but are sorry the location didn't meet your expectations. The steep terrain and limited public transport can make access more challenging for some, again, thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you happy travels ahead 🌟

Perfect retreat

Lovely site, shame the weather was so bad. It's a shame the pub next to the site has closed down. Highlights - walk from Lynmouth to Watersmeet was beautiful and the cream tea of raspberry and ginger scones at the end was to die for. Local taxi, Riverside, were brilliant. The Cottage Inn Thai pub was fabulous.

Site's response

Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌟 We're delighted you enjoyed the site and the stunning walk to Watersmeet 🌿, especially the heavenly cream tea 🍓☕—sounds unforgettable! While the pub closure is a shame, we're glad you discovered The Cottage Inn's fabulous Thai offerings 🍜 and had such a positive experience with Riverside Taxis 🚖. Hope to welcome you back for sunnier skies next time! 😊

Lovely, clean and open campsite

We opted for Bay View field, which was lovely and we could indeed see the sea but not actually the bay! The field is on a slope but the actual pitch was flat in the right orientation. The facilities were great - lots of hot water in the showers and even a dishwasher - what luxury when camping! The whole toilet block area was spotlessly clean and warm. My only gripe would be that in the bathroom there are only open sinks, none in cubicles, which would have been a little better for washing in privacy. We walked from the site down to Lynmouth, which is a lovely walk, but very steep, especially on the return journey! The staff at the site were super friendly and helpful.

Site's response

Thank you for the lovely review! 😊 We're happy you enjoyed your stay at Bay View field and the sea views 🌊. Glad the facilities, especially the hot showers and dishwasher, added a touch of luxury to your camping experience! 🚿🍽️ We'll take note of your feedback on the bathroom sinks for more privacy. That walk to Lynmouth sure is a challenge with the steep-ish return! We're thrilled our team made your stay even better. Hope to welcome you back soon! 🏕️👍

Wow, this place is amazing

I can't say enough good things about my experience. Ian was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. He recommended walks to go on and things to see. It was a very quiet location and close to the towns of Lynmouth and Lynton. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks through the farm fields down into Lynton and the Valley of the Rocks. We also walked to Watersmeet and enjoyed the footpath options to get there. The facilities were all very clean and well taken care of. I don't have a single critical comment. We would definitely stay here again.

Site's response

Fantastic campsite

It is a fantastic campsite, with a great location and a nice view. It is also very clean and very peaceful. I wish it had a playground for children as well, but I still recommend it to families.
