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.

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.

Staff were present and friendly, very knowledgeable of the area. Stayed on an electric pitch in the Bay View area which had a fantastic view over the Bristol Channel and Wales in the distance. Facilities were clean and accessible. A very short ride into Lynmouth, though be warned it's a steep uphill back to the campsite. I enjoyed my stay and will be coming back again in the future.

Excellent hard standing pitch. Excellent views. A lovely steep walk down to the Lynmouth - even the 6 & 8 year olds managed it. Wonderful hosts. Lovely clean bathrooms and showers! We would definitely stay again. A tip: pre-order their baked goods for breakfast. We didn't and they ran out - gutted! A wonderful site, thank you!
Site's response
Thank you for the fantastic review! 🌟 We're glad you loved the pitch and views 🌄 and that the kids enjoyed the walk. Happy to hear our bathrooms were up to your standards. Sorry about the baked goods - we bake to order to avoid waste, looking forward to your return!

We were a little disappointed to turn up and find the public house next door was now permanently closed. We had only catered for ourselves for 4 nights (stayed for 5) expecting to be able to eat out one of them. We set ourselves up not to have to drive anywhere, so we walked into Lynton and Lynmouth which is a very steep climb and not for anyone unfit. You definitely need a car to visit anywhere if you're not an avid walker. Great views from the campsite. Only one suggestion and it's nothing major... maybe some hooks on the back of the toilet doors in the ladies bathroom, somewhere to hang a bag or coat. Other than that it's a very well run and friendly site.
Site's response
Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We're sorry about the pub closure next door, I'm afraid it's out of our control as it always had separate ownership. We're glad you enjoyed the great views from the campsite 🌄 and appreciated our friendly, well-kept site. We'll consider adding hooks in the ladies' bathroom. Thanks for the suggestion! We hope to welcome you back soon! 👍

Absolutely lovely campsite. Amazing views, amazing facilities, everyone's really friendly and very welcoming. Great if you have a dog, really nice area for them. Only draw back is ticks, but that's just nature. Food van if you don't want to cook, lovely walks around the area and if you don't want to walk back to site then taxi service is fast efficient and reliable.

Just had a great stay at Lynmouth campsite. The pod was spotless, the site was quiet and was a great location for local walks and sights . My only gripe was the tepid temperature of the water in the women's showers. My partner said the temperature in the men's shower block was roasting. The site may want to investigate this. Otherwise I would definitely recommend it.

We had a lovely stay here for four days! We were really lucky with the weather, it couldn't have been better. The site is really well run, the staff at reception were really friendly and helpful with suggestions for places to visit. It is a nice quiet site that is only 30 minutes walk from Lynton and Lynmouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and can recommend it to anyone!

As a first time user of not only this site but outing with a van and family, I couldn't be more impressed. A simple, nice sized and clean campsite with very pleasant staff. Only minor is the pub is not currently open, but I understand it is not linked to the site and also a sign of the times.

Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Immaculately keep site & facilities. Best way down and up to Lynmouth/Lynton is across fields and down to West Lynn Bridge. Suggest walking poles and good shoes. Would definitely use this site again. Shame the pub/hotel next door is currently closed. The site would do well if they stocked more beverages and hot food/meals maybe.

Lynmouth Holiday Retreat is one of the best campsites we've stayed on. The facilities were excellent, plenty of spotless toilets and showers. Power banks on hand should you need them. A great little shop where you can order fresh croissants for breakfast. The site is really dog friendly with a good dog walking field. The best thing about the site though is the staff. They were absolutely brilliant - very friendly and helpful. They did everything with a smile, including giving us a push off our pitch this morning after the heavy rain last night, I would definitely recommend this site and I hope to stay here again. Thanks for a great Easter weekend :)

Staff were always out cleaning, checking the site and doing improvements. Toilet and showers were lovely. There was dishwasher and laundry facilities. View was beautiful. Pub next door was within a very short walking distance and the food was amazing catering for gluten-free as well which was nice. Friendly staff. On the site at reception, you can pre-order breakfast pastries and sandwiches for the next day. Well laid out site.

100% in all areas - nothing not to like. Lovely setting with super views, very friendly welcoming staff. Some of the walks can be challenging. Facilities are the best I have every seen on a campsite.

Bit disappointed the pub was closed. £8 each way into Lynmouth for food, which wasn't really a problem. Couldn't do much about the weather. We found the reception was very good and very helpful and everywhere was very clean. Probably wouldn't stay again because of the distance to village

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed that the pub was closed during your stay. Unfortunately, the pub next door is a separate business from our campsite, therefore we cannot control when they close 😞
