 A great site with the best shower/toilet block I've come across in any campsite.

It's in a wonderful setting tucked away in the valley with sheep for company.

It was a bit disappointing we couldn't be located near our friends who had a camper van; we had both booked months in advance.

 Just returned from a week at Newberry with friends and the site is a little gem. The staff can't do enough to help you. So friendly. We were catching the bus into Ilfracombe and they rang the bus company to check prices for us.

Nothing is too much trouble for them. The bathroom facilities are like nothing I've ever seen in 30 years of camping. There are no communal areas just large individual rooms with shower, toilet and sink. Complete privacy, fantastic idea. Easy to get bus to Ilfracombe or short walk to Combe Martin which is a great little place.

Great lake for fishing and plenty of walking in the adjacent woods. Pitches are huge and the site is in a lovely little valley. There is also a great public footpaths from the site if you like walking. Our kids loved it. I can't praise this place enough.

If you are touring the route down the New Barnstaple Road and then the coastal road worked well for us. Finally, don't leave without buying a box of their eggs. Amazing

 On arrival we were given a very friendly welcome and we quickly relaxed after a long and somewhat fraught drive.

We were shown to our quiet spacious pitch which initially seemed close enough to the facilities but due to my personal inability to walk far eventually needed a short drive to use them. This was in no way the fault of the staff as I was initially offered a pitch change but stupidly declined.

The site is set in a lovely valley and during our stay was very quiet and peaceful. The pitch was quite big and had a useful picnic table provided, which was great as we enjoyed a continuous 10 days hot weather in 'MAY!'.

The facilities are quite different from anywhere else we have used. They consist of separate good sized individual rooms with a hand basin, toilet and shower, with NO HATED 20 SECOND PUSH BUTTON but a constant flow of hot water, amazing!

The surrounding area offered some interesting days out and unusually very few narrow Devon lanes.

Overall we had a lovely holiday based in a well kept, quiet and peaceful Newberry Valley Park.

 Really lovely site. Peaceful (even over Easter) which to be honest may have been to do with the weather, but the layout didn't make it seem crowded in anyway.

Adorable alpacas on site, herbs you can pick for cooking, beautiful walks on site and straight down to Combe Martin beach and village. I was most impressed with having shower rooms complete with toilet and sink.

Made showering a whole lot easier and more private. There is even a bathroom.

 What a fantastic site! The staff were friendly and helpful, the modern facilities were kept spotlessly over a wet Easter weekend.

The site is set in a pretty valley, with short walks on site. The village is a ten minute walk (downhill) with several pubs and a beach.

We will definitely return!

 We've just had the most wonderful 2 night with our dogs at Newberry Valley, such a beautiful peaceful location and a very comfortable and well kept site.

The staff were lovely and so helpful when we managed to lock ourselves out of our van at 7. 15am (luckily we managed to break back in and avert a drama).

Just a short walk to the beach and town of Combe Martin. We were touring the south and north coasts of Dorset and Devon and stayed on five different sites and agreed that Newberry Valley was our favourite.

Would love to go back there sometime.

 This is a very nice terraced site in an excellent location, just a ten minute walk from the beach, shops, pubs, cafés etc.

We had booked a large hard standing pitch which was indeed a good size and to our surprise contained a water tap. We really liked the pitch which had a great view, but felt that in a wet county like Devon a gravel area would be better for awnings.

The main facility block is excellent. There are four washing machines at a reasonable price and four tumble dryers, a free iron and one of the best laundry sinks I have used. My husband told me the dishwashing area was good too! There are 11 shower rooms with washbasin and toilet (includes 1 disabled), 6 private washrooms with toilet, 1 bathroom and 1 gents.

The facilities were kept very clean but unfortunately most of them are not very well lit and I am reliably informed it is difficult to see when shaving. The only other comment I would make is that the shower flow isn’t very good in some of the showers. We were lucky that we were near the main block as the facilities at the other end of the site looked quite meagre.

There is a facility to order bread, scones and other pastries plus various meats which I appreciated and can recommend the lamb & mint burgers.

The wardens were ever present and although it is difficult to get a smile from the lady wardens, the men were friendly and helpful and I would like to give a special mention to Chris who went out of his way to help us.

There are some alpacas and hens and a fantastic woodland walk which we particularly enjoyed and made the effort to walk as far as we could uphill and were rewarded with some lovely views.

The only downside to this lovely site was the noise. I appreciate the fact the site has to be maintained, but so do all sites and I’ve stayed on many well maintained sites. However this has to be the noisiest I’ve experienced with strimming nearly every day and constant zooming up and down by the wardens in buggies.

That said, the pros outweigh the cons and I would gladly return.

 Excellent spacious campsite with plenty of privacy. Lovely well maintained site with plenty of well kept lawns and fishing lake. Helpful friendly wardens take you to your pitch.

We had a premium paved pitch with picnic table and plenty of room. The toilet and shower facilities are the best I have ever seen, private bathrooms, showers and toilets and they are immaculately clean it's like your own bathroom at home.

Having two dogs there are plenty of walks on site, there is a wood and a meadow for dog walking and opposite the entrance is a public footpath to the beach and village so no need to walk on the road. Great fish and chip takeaway in village as well as cafes, convenience stores and pubs serving food.

We spent two days here and the weather wasn't good but we stil had a great time. We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay next time and use it as a base to the wonderful places and beaches in north Devon.

 What a fabulous site. Easy access into a beautifully laid out site in gorgeous wooded valley. Enormous paved pitch with own picnic table and large grass area overlooking the lake. Great dog walk into the woods (steep!) and well mown paths around site and the beautiful lake. 5 min walk down footpath opposite site entrance takes you to the charming Newberry beach ( dog friendly) and on round into Combe Martin. Great fish & chip shop! Very helpful and friendly wardens who escort you to your pitch.

Definitely a site that we'd love to revisit.

Reviewer: Smandley 20 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 12-night stay at this lovely campsite. I’d agree with most of the previous comments, apart from if you have a caravan make sure you’re not on Oak 13 pitch! We booked this holiday in January; a premier pitch; which if you take note of previous comments we would have been on a huge pitch with a block paved space for our caravan and car; a stoned area for our awning and a large grass area to sit and relax. Oh No! We ended up on the only premier pitch where we had to park our car around the corner near the barn and only had 2 metres of grass as we had to “share it with the seasonal pitch next door” so although we paid the same amount as Oak 12 (who had all the above and a 5-metre bit of grass) we didn’t have the same space. We only found this out when we were sitting on our ‘bit’ of grass and was told by one of the wardens that “did we know we didn’t have all the grass only 2m of it”! We did go and speak with those in reception, most of whom didn’t realise this was the case. They did offer us the chance to move but the only available pitch wasn’t on hard standing which is what we had wanted. Walking round the site there didn’t appear to be much consistency in the premier pitches only that they offered, water/waste and EHU. The sizes and paved/stoned areas differed from pitch to pitch.

The site was lovely and peaceful, just what we needed. On arrival, you are taken to your pitch. The unisex shower block was good, unfortunately the water pressure was a let-down, although the water was always hot and we didn’t have to queue during our time here. The wardens were always about cleaning/replenishing. They do offer pizza (cooked in a caravan) on Tuesday and Saturday evenings, which although a bit expensive was very nice. The site has a coded barrier entrance/exit. We did use the laundry facilities and at £3 a wash good value for money. There is a hair dryer available which was useful. There is plenty of information on the area and they do offer a book exchange.

The surrounding area is lovely with stunning views and Combe Martin is a lovely village, the Jack of Cards pub does great food including a lovely Sunday carvery, but do book. This area of North Devon is very hilly and coming from the flat fens, we found it a bit of an effort but soon got used to it, so take this into consideration when going to this area. We caught the bus (from the village) into Ilfracombe just over £9 return for 2 adults/1 child once, the service seems very popular.

 A beautifully quiet site with excellent and clean facilities. Plenty to do close by whatever the weather. Close to Combe Martin and only a couple of miles from larger supermarket on outskirts of Ilfracombe if needed. Would definitely return and recommend to friends.

Reviewer: Smiffyz 9 reviews from this member

 Well what a lovely site, It's quite large but the layout is so well planned that wherever your pitched it seems small and private. The pitches are large enough to have the van with awning and a large grass area outside the awning for sunbathing/windbreaks and the car on the other side next to the van as well. Really well kept by the wardens who are only too happy to help. It's set on 3 terraces in a valley so it's an ideal suntrap and very pleasant. A short 5 min walk into the village with a lovely safe cove for swimming, kayaking etc and a beach and shops/ pubs/ cafe's. The site has a nice fishing lake to walk around, a woodland walk, kids playground and dog walking area. The facilities are large and very clean. It's an ideal base for the famous cave beaches and Ilfracombe town is only a 10 min drive away. This site was a great find and we'll definitely be back. Try googling combe martin for lots of views of the beach and there's a good arial video of Combe Martin on Youtube too.

Reviewer: Vale ranger 1 review from this member

 Having not visited this area before we had no idea what to expect from the area or newberry Valley. What a fantastic site, well kept pitches and centrally placed amenities block with best facilities we have come across on our travels. If club house, games rooms are what your looking for its not for you, but if you're after a tranquil retreat in beautiful surroundings after a day exploring then you couldn't find a better place. Short walk in to combe Martin village where there is a small selection of bars, cafes /restaurants and shops. A small Cove ideal for exploring the rock pools, swimming or hiring a canoe. There are also some great walks in the area. The only downside to this resort is the approach which is very narrow and twisting lanes. Wouldn't put me off going again though.
