 I have to agree that the views from this site are amazing. The site is clean and the showers spotless although the water gets very hot so beware if you have little ones.
Site is a good base to cover North Devon and Coombe Martin has an excellent fish and chip shop. There is a pub which serves good food within walking distance and the prices are reasonable.
All in all this site was nice if a little too structured for my liking. One member of staff is particularly rude. It is true that the site has good recycling facilities although campers are told its compulsory.
We went in a group and had four cars. On arrival we were told to unload our cars and then park all but one of them in another field.
To sum up too many rules spoil this beautiful site.

Agree with all comments before. Lovely peaceful site with fantastic views. Require a car to travel to different places. Bit of a steep climb back to the tent from the washing / toilet facilities but nothing too strenuous.
Only slight criticism would be the lack of hand drying facilities in toilets and would like to suggest availability of mop and bucket in shower area for users to mop floor after shower. However, toilets and showers were very clean.
Clean, dry pitch with electric hookup. Will definitely return again next year. Excellent cycle path (Tarka Trail) from Barnstaple and lots of nice walks along coastal path.

Me, my wife and four children had a great week here, despite the wet first few days. The campsite and surrounding area is superb, fantastic views from our pitch, as were most pitches.
Hele bay just down the road is a very nice place with a lovely cove style beach.
The facilities are basic but very clean, staff very friendly
All in all a great place, well recommended we will return

Stayed on this site for a week at the start of May. These are the best views I have ever seen from a campsite, and the view from the washing-up area was particularly stunning. No arguments over who was going to wash up on this holiday!
The toilets and showers were lovely, and cubicles plenty big enough for my 2 year old to come in with me. There was a small play area, although this is really for slightly older children (who seemed to be enjoying it). There is a really nice theme park next door, which we went to a couple of times - you can return for free if you have your photo taken on the way out. Amazingly, we couldn't hear or see the theme park at all, but it's proximity was great for us.
The only downside for us was that the hedge in front of our pitch meant that I couldn't see the view unless I stood on the picnic bench (I am only 5'), bit most pitches have an unobstructed view. We were at the far end of a row though, which meant that our pitch was very private, and there was no passing traffic at all.
Would definitely return!

What a fantastic site! Great views! Great facilities! Great owners! All has been said before in previous reviews, so I won't bore everyone with repeating things.
The only things I would add are: you need a car as it is a very hilly area for walking and local buses are a bit limited for exploring the area. Watermouth Castle (5 min walk away) is highly recommended for children and is possibly the most bizarre place we've ever been too. Coombe Martin does great fish and chips; great boat trips from Ilfracombe. Fantastic horseriding on Exmoor. M my boys loved the play area and the home-made cakes! We'll be back next year. With a car!

The Site:
What can we say that hasn't been said already.
The site has wonderful views of the North Devon coast, some of the best I have seen. The owners are lovely and very helpful. The toilet block is very clean and we never had to wait for a shower (although it was Easter week). The washing up facilities were excellent and everyone wanted to wash up as the views made you forget you had your hands in dirty dishwater! The recycling facilities were excellent and everyone is actively encouraged to recycle as much as possible.
The only down side is that the site is very hilly and we were pitched on the top level so each trip to the play area, toilet block and washing up facilities left us needing a beer when we got back! (our youngest is 7 and as we couldn't see the play area from our pitch, we felt the need to go with her, as the walk back up was to steep to keep going to check she was ok).
We will be returning to this wonderful site at some point and would recommend it to anyone that doesn't have mobility problems.
Oh one more thing. The roads on site are not made for push-bikes so although our youngest took her bike she couldn't really use it, so we won't be wasting time or space taking it with us again.
Surrounding Area:
Combe Martin is lovely. We paid to go into the Tunnel Beach, we didn't think it was worth the money and was disappointed with the shingle beach although we did have fantastic weather. A day out at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, was expensive and rides were not included in the price (around £45.00 for a family of 5). It was very hilly and two of our party were disabled and we were not informed of the difficult terrain prior to entry, if we had been it would of stopped us going.
Linton and Lynmouth cliff railway is a fantastic day out and both towns are lovely.

We visited this site during a coastal tour over the Easter Period - this was our favourite site! There are no bar/restaurant facilities on this site, but the view is AMAZING!
There is a pub which is a 10 minute walk away (although when we were there it didn't open until 6pm). Be warned, if you decide to walk into Berrynarbor (the neighbouring village) it's all uphill, and it's a very steep hill!
Owners of the site were very friendly and helpful, and they sell a few supplies in the reception (water, milk, bacon, homemade cakes etc) which was very handy.
The toilets/showers were good and clean. Campsite was extremely well priced, with hot water for the showers included in the price.
I would definitely recommend this site.

Just returned from a fabulous weekend at this amazing site!
All the pitches were very spacious with beautiful views that we couldn't get enough of! The Toilets and Shower facilities were good, the water was lovely and hot and there were 2 hairdryers that were free to use in the Ladies. The washing up area faced the beautiful view making it a pleasure to wash up. The site owners were very friendly and welcoming. You can buy all your essentials on site where they sell local products (the meat was excellent!) The site was very dog friendly and there was a huge field that we could walk our dog in (and we were allowed to let him off the lead) at the bottom of the site.
This was our first visit to North Devon and we loved it! There was lots of lovely walking from the campsite, with the coastal path being a short walk away! We loved Arlington Court, a national trust property not too far away, and found our dog very welcome here too!
All in all a fantastic campsite, which I can't say enough good things about! We just can't wait to go back!

Have just come back from a 4 night Easter break here. Don't go to this site if you want a club house/entertainment etc. DO GO if (like us)you like peaceful surroundings, fantastic views and great walks.
Toilets very clean and tidy. Little shop very handy for essentials. Site owner friendly and helpful.
The pitches are a good size and all have a sea view due to being terraced. There's a large field to allow dogs a run off the lead. The local pub is a short walk and is family and dog friendly.
An excellent value site and we'd go back again.

We visited this site for a week at the end of August and had a fantastic time, despite less than summery weather! The layout of the site is great with the spacious pitches laid out on terraces so that everyone gets a view of the sea and we really weren’t that aware of our neighbours despite the site being full.
The toilet and shower facilities were spot on and as mentioned in other reviews, the views from the washing up area were awesome! The site is located a short walk from the South West Coast Path so is ideal for walkers, and there are a good number of beaches nearby, not that we had the weather to use them much!
We hired cycles from nearby Braunton and cycled on the Tarka trail to Bideford and back (circa 30 miles round trip). I would thoroughly recommend this as a great day out for all ages, the track is well maintained and pretty flat and there are loads of lovely places to stop along the way.

This was a lovely site. Each tent pitch has good space from neighbours and perfect views due to terrace set up. The children met other friends on site and there was a safe playground.
Facilities were clean, hot showers and not too far from pitch which is always handy at night! The little shop was handy for basics and there are supermarkets and shops near to site too.
The beaches and amenities locally were great and it was a lovely quiet site in the evenings for young children. A great base for discovering this gem of an area in Devon.

Had a wonderful week mid July when the weather was just superb.
Little Meadow is fantastic and totally deserves it's excellent reputation and reviews. The toilet block is very clean and large enough, 4 toilets and 4 showers for both men and women.
The view from the washing up area is outstanding, we were arguing over who gets to wash up!
Kids loved it, our 3 and 5 year old found plenty of young friends and there is a nice natural play area.
The shop has all you need and everyone there was so nice and very helpful. My only small negative comment is that the showers were very hot and it was very hard to shower the youngsters, even if they sat on the floor. There is no way to control the temperature, mine were not the only ones coming out the showers crying!
Apart from that totally loved it and would def return.

Spent a wonderful week here, despite turbulent weather. The pitches are a good size, facilities were good, showers cleaned regularly but only last thirty seconds before you have to press the button again! Shop very handy for essentials.
Lovely views of the sea from the pitches. An excellent site,small and friendly, will visit again.

This has to be one of the best sites I have stayed on. Laid back but well run and just some common sense rules ie. recycle, be quiet at night, dont leave a mess (not really rocket science).
Yes would stay again if only for the views!
