Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Floss999 2 reviews from this member

 A truly excellent site.

The staff were friendly and helpful when we arrived until we left.

The site is well cared for, the amenities were first class. In particular the shower blocks were excellent, clean, generous in size, good water pressure in the showers (at peek times) and warm.

The family showers were especially good, myself and my two daughters had plenty of room and it was nice to have the toilet and handbasin in the same room. The fixtures and fittings used were high quality (hotel standard).

The washing-up areas included two sinks with double drainer, making washing up easy to do and we never had to wait long to use them at peek times.

The site shop was useful (bought playing cards and books), the food on site was also good, a fish and chip van came (best fish and chips ever) and the breakfast cafe was also lovely.

The kids play area was excellent, plenty of things to do, sturdy and well cared for.

This site had some good rules which meant no late night noise was tolerated and the pitching rules were practical and adhered to. The pitch sizes are generous and well planned out. Only a short walk from the amenity blocks / shop / cafe.

I would recommend this campsite to anyone, we have already booked again for 2011.

 Spent the first 10 days of August here and was not disappointed. The site was over 3/4 full and not once did we have to queue for a shower. The showers were immaculate and very well thought out.

The pitches were varied, we had a lovely seclude pitch in a private gladed area with sea view. Well worth asking on booking. Great play area and well maintained. Very friendly staff.

Perfect location for touring North Devon, 1.5 miles from the Golden Sands of Woolacombe perfect for a traditional family holiday. Good bus service outside site direct to both Ilfracombe and Woolacome.

A truly lovely site which we will definitely return to. Only thing which we would have found useful to know is the campsites road aren't suitable for scooters but good for bikes. We were visited by friends staying on local sites who too were very impressed with Warcombe Farm facilities.

Reviewer: Gass82 1 review from this member

 We stopped here for 8 nights the first week of the summer holidays with our 7 and 15yr olds on pitch 36 2 rows away from the play area-ideal pitch if you have small children.

Some lovely secluded pitches at the bottom of the site if you want a peace and quiet. Toilet and shower block is good didn't have to wait for showers but the last couple of days it did get much busier. Cleaned every day but not all campers kept them that way.

Wardens were lovely always bustling around keeping the site tidy. Lots of people fishing in the small pond but beware of the mosquitos. Shop was well stocked.

Woolacombe beach is very good plenty of lifeguards about lots of little pools for kids to fish in with their nets at the north end of the beach. Car parking a bit steep at £6 a day. Woolacombe is a good location for a family holiday with children with plenty to do-would recommend it!

Reviewer: Loobette 1 review from this member

 We (2 adults, 3 children-15,9 & 18 months) visited here the last week in July and even though there had been quite a lot of rain the previous weeks found the ground to be really good-enough 'give' to get pegs in without being that wet that you could pull them straight back out again.

We had had slight reservations about the site before arriving as it was more expensive than we usually pay however I think it was money well spent. As already mentioned by others staff were always noticeable,driving round on their little buggys, emptying bins, cutting grass etc.

We stayed on the left hand side of the lake along with the grandparents who were in a motorhome which was ideal for my fisherman father as all he had to do was cross over, walk through the gate and cast his rod! He is a very experienced angler and while I personally can't comment on the fishing he said more than once it was a decent lake to fish.

My oldest son and daughter enjoyed the freedom of being able to ride around safely on their bikes and play in the fenced off playground.The dog thought she was in heaven with the massive dog walking area! We also made good use of it kiteflying. Even our youngest enjoyed feeding the ducks everyday.

There is now,new this year I believe an aviary in a quiet corner of the dog field with a wildbird breeding program being set up. We visited this and while it was interesting to view I think some information signs about the birds would have been useful.

Woolacombe and Ilfracombe are your typical tourist seaside spots-very busy beaches and shops selling overpriced buckets and spades.

The village of Mortehoe was simply lovely,very picturesque with traditional old church and the B&B there does scrumptious cream teas which you can sit outside to eat while watching the world go by!

If you go by car out of the main entrance and take your first left down a hair-raisingly narrow road you come across the fab secret of Lee Bay. This has a small shingle beach with rock pools for exploring and a delightful little cottage cafe selling very reasonably priced cream teas and sandwiches etc.

All in all a lovely area and a campsite we are already thinking of returning to in October.

Reviewer: Hicky70 6 reviews from this member

 I'd totally echo DeadlyD's comments,

However if you plan on walking to Mortehoe avoiding the roads buy an OS map it is worth it.

It is fairly pricey, £30 a night isnt too far off Travel lodge money.

However if it is family camping you want then this is perfect with a variety of pitches from open plan to secluded 'cubby' holes(although large).

Attention to detail such as someone coming to the pitch and explaining things, workers constantly buzzing around fixing / cleaning / mowing the effort is evident.

 Agree with most comments. Beautifully maintained site. Everything from open pitches for groups of friends to secluded pitches for just the one tent.

Friendly staff made us feel very welcome. A chap even waited and showed us to our pitch and then told us where nearest water, recycling were and quickest way to the showers.

Shower and toilet block was fantastic. Underfloor heating is brilliant. Toilets, sinks and shower cubicles (with stools and lots of shelves!) were immaculately clean.

The staff were forever trundling around on their buggies maintaining the site - cleaning up, emptying rubbish, mowing the pitches etc.

All in all was delighted and thought it was quite good value for money.

Reviewer: Poppys Dad 4 reviews from this member

 Site is a mixture of small individual pitches set into trees and open pitches

Very good kids play area at top of site however this is quite a long way if you are at the bottom of the site, as we were.

Site is very well maintained with immaculate shower blocks.

If you have a dog you would be hard pressed to beat this site. The dog walking field is 14 acres and planted with >12,500 trees ! It is not only great for walking the dog but good for kite flying and such like.

Can recommend walking down into Lee, walk through the dog field, into the next field, cross the road, over the next stile opposite then follow the path down into the valley. Beach is great for rock pooling and scrambling around.

Large fishing lake in middle of site if you into that sort of thing

My only criticism of the site would be that the toilet blocks are both some way away if you are at the bottom of the site, not good if you really have to go !

Quite expensive for what it is, however we would still go back again, so would the dog ! 


Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: HappyVWcamper 7 reviews from this member

 Brilliant site, our second visit and each time we have stayed a week out of the main 'season'.

The toilet and shower blocks are spectacular - always warm, very large showers and spotlessly clean at all times. Very luxurious if camping in the cooler months as we mainly do.

Many of the pitches around the edges are landscaped with bushes or dry stone walling.

In the centre of the site is a fishing lake for those who want to partake, This is safely fenced off so that children don't accidentally roam in.

The site has very friendly owners, and you can buy essential things like wine, bacon, chocolate biscuits and milk (!) from the small shop in the office.

You can walk to Morthoe over the cliffs from the site, which takes about 45 minutes and is very beautiful. You do need a car to get into Woolacombe to visit the stunning beaches.

Reviewer: Gsh112 3 reviews from this member

 Staff were very helpful when I had to change our booking due to a major operation, but not so helpful when we arrived.

We felt as if we were a pain staying on site as it was the end of the season and they obviously wanted to get on with closing down. Toilets were closed with no notice and we had to find an alternative gas supplier as reception was never open.

Yes the posh loos are lovely but a little more friendliness would be nice too.

Wonderful area with wonderful walks and views--hopefully where we will retire, but I would not choose to stay at Warcombe again--poor value for money.

 Our 1st stay at Warcombe Farm.

The staff are lovely & helpful.

The Toilets/Showers/Washing up facilities are really great and very modern.

The pitches all vary on the site. We had quite an open pitch but had plenty of room around us. There are some really nice secluded pitches around the site which would have been nicer so if you are asked. Get one of those! we will next time. Very nice indeed.

Even though we had some high winds and driving rain which drove a few campers away during our visit it was still a lovely place to stay. We found the on site cafe handy a few times. Especially when you arrive in the afternoon tired you can grab a pasty and chips. The shop had all the basics milk/bread/wine/beer etc.

Oh. The dog walking field/area is massive and lovely.

All in all we were happy with the site, I know it's a little more expensive than most but the staff were always around cutting grass, emptying bins, cleaning stuff.

I would go back anytime. Just give us the weather!

 We have just returned from a weeks holiday and must say I agree with everyone about the campsite, it is very nice and the showers are superb.

We found the shop to be very basic and expensive,not even selling newspapers.

Surrounding area is beautiful.

Reviewer: KettleS 2 reviews from this member

 This is my fourth visit to the site - although haven't been for a few years.

Toilet blocks were as clean and warm as ever, with plenty of showers and loads of hot water.

Only critism is that we feel the site is starting to get a bit commercial - it was expensive for us and our friends to stay, 2 super pitches with a cooking tent and sun shelter (not a gazebo), dog and four children between us. No refund offered when we had to take down the shelter after a day as it was too windy to keep it up. This was just a canopy that went over our sitting area with tables and chairs. Are they now charging for the air above the pitch?

Shop is not very well stocked - couldn't get any bread on one day.

Will visit site again as children love the playground, and we like it's closeness to Morthoe but will choose our pitch carefully, top of site is very exposed and gets the wind full on.

Despite negative comments - it is a very clean and well run site, but I hope that it doesn't get any bigger or the family run feel might disappear.

Reviewer: Kevin15 6 reviews from this member

 First visit to this site & it is one of the best sites we have been to.

The toilets & shower facilities are excellent.

There is a lake on site with lots of small fish in, you can catch one every cast if you use smaller baits, The bigger fish are a bit harder to catch & like to dive straight into the weeds when you hook them.

The shop stocks basic supplies only.

The site has Wifi access anywhere on site, so for a reasonable charge you can connect to the internet.

The dogwalk at the back of the site has been planted with 1200 trees & covers 15 acres.

If you walk straight through this area & continiue down the lane you will end up at Lee Cove which is stunning & unspoilt. The walk takes about 35 minutes & is down some steep slopes so beware as it is even more tiring walking back.

The site is on top of a hill so on a misty day you are in the clouds,

Really you need a car to get to the beaches as the roads leading to them have steep inclines & no footpaths.

The site is aout 10 mins drive from Ilfracoombe,

5 Mins from Woolacoombe & 25 minutes from Croyd.

We certainly would visit this site again

Reviewer: TLW68 1 review from this member

 We have just returned from a two week stay at this site and have never experienced a site that is so well run. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we arrived after a two week spell of rain to find our pitch slightly muddy, but the staff couldn't have been more helpful in putting down chippings and gravel so that we could get our little split screen on to our very secluded and large pitch.
We were amazed at the cleanliness and high standard of the toilets and facilities, even when it rained! the whole site was friendly and safe for children to play.
Another huge bonus was the beautiful dog walk where our dog enjoyed his freedom to play and my son enjoyed the downhill thrill on his bike! The views on a clear day from the top of the site were stunning and we shed a tear as we waved goodbye on a clear sunny day.
We walked down sandy lane and along to Coombsegate and Barricane beach to avoid the crowds of Woolacombe on the weekends. A bit of a hike back up but well worth it.
We will def be booking again for next year and would highly recommend this site to anyone who wants the perfect camping experience.

Reviewer: Tyrerl 4 reviews from this member

 Spent 10 nights at this site at the end of August.

The site was well kept/clean with excellent toilet and shower facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful

Unfortunately, during most of our stay the weather was not kind to us. Due to the position of the site it is extremely open to the elements and we spent most of the week watching wind breaks/awnings go flying by!

Although I could imagine that on a clear and sunny day the views would be fantastic

10 minutes walk turning left out of the site is a good pub

Overall a nice site but not worth the expense to be honest - as we have no children/do not fish, then none of the facilities that the site offers are much use to us
