The staff were helpful when we needed help. It's a good location, nice views from the campsite. Plenty of hot water in the showers. The lake is nice too walk to. They cut the grass most days when we were there for a week, which was too much noise. Our pitch was not level. The pitch was expensive compared to some sites.
Our first serious family camping trip - a full two weeks at this fantastic site.
Staff very friendly - they really cannot do enough for you. We opted for a Premier pitch - a larger area complete with electricity (we didn't use) and picnic table (very handy). Toilets and showers always clean (they even play Classic FM so you can wake up slowly and in relaxed fashion).
The children were able to cycle to the toilet block, there is a small playground which is discretely located and a fishing lake (well fenced off so no danger to little ones). The duckings came to our tent for scraps on more than one occasion.
We have camped at this site before (23 years ago and then again 10 years ago). The location is good, no issues when it rains and we have returned ready to book for next year. If you are planning a holiday to N Devon I can strongly recommend this campsite.
The site is very well laid out with strips of plots on several different tiers. Excellent views of the valley can be enjoyed however sea views are limited.
The staff were the friendliest I've met whilst camping yet!
The facilities are very well maintained and the water is always piping hot. The toilets are always clean.
A lovely peaceful site tucked in a beautiful valley. Everyone was very friendly and it had a very relaxed feel to the place. The toilets and showers were lovely and clean. They even had music playing in them!
My only criticism of the place was that the grounds maintenance chaps were constantly strimming and mowing which spoiled the peace somewhat. Also, although the fishing lake was well stocked with fish, it was full of weed, making fishing pretty impossible.
Despite this, we had a super holiday and would definitely return.
We stayed for 4 nights in late June at this site. It was very quiet and for 3 nights we had a field to ourselves! They have several different size pitches, the superior pitch with a picnic table and EHU is a very good idea especially if you have children, The warden very kindly let us use the table for a very small charge as we hadn't booked the superior site but were very near.
The facilities are good not fantastic but perfectly adequate, although they are a very long and uneven walk if you are on the far field.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Sheep are noisy so take some earplugs if you are camping! Each field has bricks to enable you to bbq without harming the grass.
Its a very short walk into the centre of Combe Martin and a 5 mile drive to Ilfracombe. Maybe consider taking the bus to Ilfracombe as the parking is quite expensive unless you use the long stay by the harbour which means quite a long walk to the centre. There are only 2 small shops in Combe Martin and they are not open after 8pm so beware.
Newberry is a decent campsite situated in a superb location. The entrance is on a tight bend with no pavement where few drivers waste valuable brake fluid slowing down for unseen campers, so be careful.
Once you've negotiated the road, opposite the entrance to the site is an overgrown path which takes you down to a small pebble beach. Great for rock climbing.
At low tide, this beach joins up with the main Coombe Martin beach and reveals loads of sand.
Following the road round to the right brings you to Coombe Martin which is a pleasant village where beer, ice-cream and other essentials can be enjoyed.
The campsite itself is adequate. We paid £17 a night for 2 Adults and 1 Child and stayed on the basic pitch area on the entrance side of the toilet blocks.
The toilets/showers were ok. A bit dated but everything worked.
The warden is a decent enough fellow, who's humour is best described as arid.
Little shop at the entrance has the usual limited choices at slightly inflated prices - so stock up, or visit the Spar in town.
There's a hookup area on the other side of the toilet block for those that need it - and a dog-walking area just below. Further inland is a fishing lake and a play area.
Further inland still is the pretty village of Berrynarbor and if you like flowerpot men, then this is the place for you.
I would recommend to anyone, especially families for a pleasant site with peace and quiet just walking distance from everything you need.
This is a very well situated campsite, with easy walking access to the beach and town. The facilities are good, with free hot water and a shop on site. Negative points were that we found the toilets and washing up area were not very clean. The dish washing area was absolutely covered in dead flies, when we arrived, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Also the ground has absolutely no drainage so gets very muddy.
Overall, it is a cost-effective site for a few days stay in a great central location however the general up-keep of the park are in need of some TLC.
Online and via leaflets this campsite looked great; green space, play area, close to beach etc but I have to say we were slightly disappointed.
It was very muddy when we arrived, not surprising after a soggy summer but the situation of the site ( in a valley as you would expect! ) meant it didn't seem to dry out fast, even on dry days.
Also, it's a very long shaped site so the pitches are on terraces with no real green space for children to play other than directly next to the tents. The play area was basic to say the least and down a very muddy path across a stream so not really safe to let little ones down there unsupervised. When I asked the staff if we could go to the fishing lake I was told the land didn't strictly belong to them so not quite sure what that's about!
Staff very friendly and helpful with a shop that stocked all the necessaries, though camping gas would have been a good addition!
Plentiful hot water for the showers though a queue quickly builds up in the ladies at busy times.
The staff are friendly and we were shown to our pitch, by the warden in his golf cart! The pitch sizes were quite generous, albeit muddy / soggy - but then we did have nothing but rain!
Very clean well kept site. Toilet blocks clean and lots of lovely hot water!
We didn't actually drive anywhere as the beach and little town of Combe Martin are a very short walk away. The kids loved the beach especially when they could get on the rocks. The beach just down the footpath from the site allows dogs on it too, which our collie, Mitch, loved.
The South Coast path is also within very each reach - which Mitch & I tried out to Berrynarbor and back!
Have just returned from a weekend at Newberry Valley in the rain!
The site location is very good being only a short walk to the village of Combe Martin where there is a beach, shops, restaurants and pubs.
The owners are very welcoming and the warden showed us to our pitch and explained where everything was.
Pitches are organised well with cars to the left and tents to the right of each pitch which I prefer as it means there is a good space between each tent. Toilets and showers were clean and well serviced and water was very warm. I didn't have to queue once for a shower. One criticism would be that there were not enough sinks for washing up and therefore queues would build up here.
Due to the bad weather, the site was very wet in places but I should think most sites are suffering at the moment.
Torches are a must as there are no lights on the site apart from the toilet block and it is very dark!
This was our first camping trip with our son, then 9 months old and we had an excellent time. The terracing of the field provided good privacy and the pitch was a good size and well-maintained. The rabbits hopping about were a source of endless joy for our littl'un, as were other people's dogs!
No probs with the toilet block, it was clean, big enough and had hot water.
Campsite staff very helpful and friendly. They drive around on mini tractor things, another source of joy for our son!
(Lazily) we ate from the chippy a couple of times, which was good but be warned it closes at about 8pm. The cafe on the beach front was a bit dodgy - no orange juice just Fruit Shoot, also nasty toilets - but good teacakes.
Outings-wise, we gave the dinosaur park a miss and went to Exmoor Zoo instead, which was lovely. The enclosures are all close together so there's always some strange beast to look at, and several types of small monkeys have runs that go above your head over the path, so you felt much more in the mix than you do at say London Zoo. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly and we got to hold a couple of snakes.
We also went to a National Trust place, I can't remember the name of it but great tearoom as per usual!
Very very impressed nice hot/clean showers & toilets great staff (mick head warden) always on hand to help.
Easy campsite to findfromtheM5takethe A361then theA399just drive straight through Combe Martin up the hill around the corner and the campsite is just after the national speed limit sign.
One of the very few sites to take Dogs and Motorcycles
Local shops are good and only a few minutes walk away
The beach also close buy.
To top it up I LOVED IT AND I WILL RETURN SOON
Please take care on the A399 with larger vans/campers some of these bends are quite tight but nice for bikes.
Stayed mid-August 2007 for 5 nights, at a cost of £23.50 per night (for 2 adults and 2 children). Our first impression was that the toilet blocks weren't very clean, but this was unjustified - they were just in need of refurbishment. In the Gents there were 5 shower cubicals, and 6 toilet cubicals. I took my shower at 07:30 each morning, and on every occasion there were several cubicles free. The Ladies was a little busier, and queuing was sometimes necessary. There was always hot water when I showered, but I overheard someone else saying the shower was cold later in the morning.
The site is linear, being long and not very wide. The facilities are centrally placed, so campers on some of the pitches have a bit of a trek to the facilities and water points. Caravans, as usual, are situated closer to the facilities. The site is very well maintained.
There is a play area, but be warned that it is secluded with a stream running alongside it, so there are obvious safety considerations. Access was also extremely muddy when we visited.
The site is on a slope, but terracing helps to alleviate this. Even so, there was still a significant slope to our pitch, which caused us one or two problems in our camper van. The pitch was very damp, and the slight slope up to the road and lack of any room to manouevre (there was a crash barrier right behind us) meant that we churned up mud whenever we went out. On the last day we had to be towed off. There were other pitches on the site much better suited to camper vans, but for some reason we were placed on an unsuitable pitch.
The steward that showed us to our pitch was extremely helpful and friendly and told us a lot about the area. Pitch boundaries are clearly marked. The small shop/reception sells all the essentials and you can order papers. One thing the shop doesn't sell, surprisingly, is bottled gas. You have to go into the village to exchange your gas bottle. After lugging my bottle into the village on foot, I wasn't too impressed to be told they had sold out.
Overall, we felt that the site was nice, but certainly didn't justify the high price. I should say, however, that the beach and town are only a short walk away, so I guess this would be reflected in the price. A week earlier we had stayed at a site in the same part of the country with stunning views, almost right on the beach with similar facilities for far less.
We only ate at one pub - the Pack o' Cards. This is an attractive looking pub, with a large beer garden that caters well for children. Prices were reasonable and food OK, but be warned that it is very busy (waiting time for food was 1 hour), attracting a lot of holidaymakers.
The Wildlife and Dinosaur Park is only 2 or 3 miles away, and was a good day out for the kids. It cost us £35 for a family ticket (2+2). The highlight for my wife was being able to hand feed raisins to the lemurs.
Another good day out is Keypitts Quads and Stables, which you will find near Ilfracombe. For £18 my 9 year old son had about 45 minutes on a Quad bike. He was given a lengthy training session on a safe circuit (which we thought was good) followed by a ride across fields. While my son was doing this, my wife and 5 year old daughter went for their first horse ride. This costs £15 for half an hour and £20 for an hour. This was money well spent, as they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
For groceries, there's a Tesco a few minutes drive away at Ilfracombe. There are, of course, also convenience stores in Combe Martin itself. There's also a small camping shop close to the site, which proved handy. When walking into the village, be sure to take the footpath directly opposite the entrance to the camp site. This way you avoid having to walk on the road for the short distance that there is no footpath. Be careful when crossing though, because it is on a blind bend.
The beach at Combe Martin isn't amazing, but the kids enjoyed themselves down there. You'll find caves and rock pools, and you can also do some crab fishing here. Be careful not to get cut off by the tide, though. There is a fish and chip shop close to the beach.
This is an attractive, level, well-drained site (particularly important this year!) We were in the farthest field which was very peaceful although it did add 8mins to the 5min walk to the beach, It was lovely to be able to walk to the sea by footpaths with only one road to cross. Having read other reviews I think we were unfortunate that the showers and washing-up water varied between cold and lukewarm. Perhaps the system can't cope with a full site. I would also have liked a curtain across the shower, as it was too easy to get your clothes wet! We did feel that the peak season prices were a bit steep in the circumstances. We had a very pleasant evening meal at a reasonable price, in the tiny Devon Fayre Cafe on the edge of the village. Combe Martin, Morthoe and the surrounding area is very attractive and Woolacombe has a wonderful beach, especially out of season.
