The pitches are flat and spacious.
There is a lovely park on site.
There was a handful of chickens running around.
Brilliant location in between woolacombe and illfracombe.
Showers were good and clean, always had hot water.
Owners were very helpful, and friendly.
There was a food van, but we never used it.
I would return to sunnymead farm again, we had a great holiday, even though the weather was raining.
The road was noisy.
Everywhere we went on our holiday, was dog friendly.

This is a lovely small site with clean facilities and friendly helpful owners. Little cafe on site which does eat in/takeaway breakfasts and evening meals. Full english breakfast was very good!
Showers themselves pretty good, on a push button but temperature adjustable. Only minus points are only 2 showers each mens and ladies and one in the family shower room so if site was busy you would probably have to queue.
Also cubicles were rather small - to stand in the shower tray under the flow of water meant being attacked by the nasty clinging shower curtain! But there was enough room to leave the curtain pulled back without soaking your clothes/towel etc. Family shower room was good, large plastic baby bath provided and lots of worktop space for drying/changing baby.
Childrens play area kept our 6 year old entertained for hours and had the advantage of being visible from most of the pitches. The horse, pony and ducks added extra interest for the children.
This site is next to a road - it is only a small B road but is the main road to Woolacombe and during the day was very busy so you do get a fair bit of noise from the traffic. However it wasn't enough to disturb us during the night so this wasn't too much of a problem for us.
The major drawback of this site is that the majority of the pitches have no shelter from the wind. The site is situated on the hills above Ilfracombe and there are numerous fields sloping down to the sea.
So you have lovely views but what was merely a bit breezy on the nearby beach at Ilfracombe became tent-breaking gusts on the site. I think we had exceptionally windy weather for August but we basically ended up leaving the site on our 5th evening (having paid in advance for a full week as required) as the wind was so severe that the tent poles nearest the prevailing wind were damaged and we feared further damage occurring if we stayed.
We had already replaced one set of poles damaged by wind during pitching. Our poles are substantial aluminium ones (Khyam Ridgidome) so didn't snap completely, but were impressively bent. There were at least 3 or 4 other campers in large dome/tunnel tents who were also packing up to leave as their fibreglass and thinner aluminium poles had snapped and their tents had collapsed.
So even though this is a lovely site I would only recommend it if the weather forecast is for very little or no wind (or your tent is low to the ground). For this reason we wouldn't return as having to pack away your tent at 8pm at night and abandon your holiday isn't much fun!

Spent a few days over the Easter holidays at this fantastic site, we found it by chance last summer and had such a good time we wanted to come back. The old play equipment was not bad but the new play park is just fab our 3 really enjoyed it and the best was being able to sit in the tent and keep an eye on them while they played.
We have read all the reviews here on this site and having stayed in August last year when the site was full and at Easter when it was much quieter found both times that the owners were really helpful, the facilities really clean plus the free hot water, a place to plug the wife's hairdryer in and a family shower room which was a god send with 3 small kids.
We had a large pitch and a sea view - nearly forgot to mention they did not charge for our small dog - that was a first for us. The only thing that would have been handy is a laundry but there is a good one in Woolacombe so we used this.
Not open at Easter but in August they did food and the full English breakfast is to be recommended and Sarah was happy to cook any variation to keep the kids happy, had a nice little area where you could eat in as well. Would highly recommend this site if you are looking for a smaller friendly site close to everything.

Have just spent a fabulous week at this site. Absolutely loved it. Free showers and hot water, washing up area was kept clean, as well as the toilets and showers (if other campers choose to abuse the facilities then the owners are not to blame!)and despite some rain the site drains really well. Our pitch was flat and spacious and with lovely views over to the sea. The owners were very helpful and friendly. No issues with the electric hookup while we were there and that's with a small heater, electric kettle, lamp and DVD player on (sorry Sarah!). Only suggestion I have is that there were no hand dryers/paper towels in the loos. Would definitely come back here again. Thank you.

What a cracking site, I'd love to keep it a secret to myself but I guess this isn't the point of the website!
Excellent all round with great facilities, lovely clean showers and toilets. Wonderful site owners who couldn't do enough for us.
Site location is stunning, if a little windy; with everything North Devon has to offer within easy distance.
Kids playground basic but kept our two (11 & 13) more than occupied, loved all the animals and the free range chickens everywhere.
The pitch was huge, almost like having a field to ourselves and gave the site a nice open feel to it.
All in all a great holiday.

Booked this site after reading the good reviews and was very disappointed. Lack of cleanliness is a huge issue at this site. Toilets and showers were filthy. Saw them been cleaned once during our 2 week stay and that was with a hosepipe - no Flash in sight!
There is a family room available but this is also dirty and after seeing somebody using it to shower their three dogs we decided not to use it to clean our children!
There was also a problem with the electric hook up - twice during our stay all the pitches in our field were without electric.
On the plus side the site is well situated for touring North Devon and the views towards the sea were good from our pitch. Resident horse and donkey kept the children amused and the water in the showers was always hot (though not in the washing up room).
Has potential to be a good site if issues with cleanliness are addressed but we will definitely not be visiting this site again
