Date of Visit: July 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Mick S. 37 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a week here, and really enjoyed it. It's a lovely little site, basic, but well kept. The only minus was the place is a bit exposed on a hill, so if its windy, you know about it.
The owners do everything to make your stay memorable, and help in any way they can. The toilets/showers are spotless, and I personaly never had to queue once.altho the mrs said she did have to a few times. (ladies in loos eh!).
The immediate area has numerous campsites, which we wandered around whilst walking the many routes round and about, and im glad we chose the one we did! The place is also great for using as a base for exploring local towns.

 Nice site great views. Basic facilities that are quite dated but always clean. Owners are always on hand and local produce is available from the small site shop. Great walks to Ilfracombe and Combe Martin or regular buses if required. Reasonable prices but other sites nearby were cheaper.

 Had the pleasure of visiting Little meadows and was very impressed by whole experience .
The shower and toilet facilities were always very clean and a pleasure to use.
The washing up area is a experience not to be mist on a summers evening.
To summarise very well run and amazing location not to be missed.

 This was our second visit to Little Meadow and it was as good as we had remembered it from last year!
The site is clean and well-looked after, toilets and showers always clean, very useful shop that although is small seems to stock everything you could possibly need including fresh eggs - straight from the hen to your breakfast plate! Owners are friendly and very helpful. The views are amazing, it is a pleasure to do the washing up while watching the sun set over the sea!

The location and outlook of this site are what make it. As the signs say, it is a tranquil site, and all the better for it.

The facilities are basic. If you are old enough to recall what the facilities of camp sites were like in the late 70's, early 80's you'd be getting a flavour. There are 2 shower cubicles each for the ladies and gents, none of which have curtains separating your clothes from the shower and so they inevitably got wet. There are only 2 wash-basins for the gents, and the 4 dunnies are right behind the wash basins. Taking my 3 year old daughter for a wash-down during the "dunnie dawn chorus" was an experience! Despite this the facilities were always spotlessly clean. However, with a young family I would have prefered if they were a little more modern.

If there was a competition for the best view from a washing up station, this site would win it every year.

There is a free freezer pack freezing service (and you don't have to wait for the shop to open) with loads of spares available for use while your own packs freeze.

Every refuse station is a mini recycling point for which the owners should be comended and other sites should take note of.

We went in the first week of September (£9 a pitch for a tent, 2 adults and 2 kids plus £1.50 a night for an electric hook up). We had our share of weather (lightining and torential rain to blazing hot). The pitch we were on was pretty well sheltered, as were the vast majority, but the pitches higher up the hill did look a bit exposed (but made for a great place to fly a kite!) The Owner did say that these pitches were only really used in the peak season, when the weather was a little more reliable.

From what we saw every pitch looked quite generous (ours was big enough for us to pitch our 5 berth frame tent off of the area affected by the previous occupants groundsheet - something we did of choice but I think would benefit all if the owners enforced such practices, especially with the pitches being so generous) and had a sea view and the surrounding country side is pretty much unspoiled. I was waxing lyrical about the views in a post card home when the romance was ruined when my wife reminded me that the view was of the Bristol Channel and the distant shoreline was Swansea!

Only the limited and dated facilities prevent this site from being my favourite. That having been said, we will definitely return, but only for a short break rather than a fortnights holiday.

PS, the "shed" on wheels is something to behold!

We visited this site in August. The views from all over the campsite are amazing. Good size pitches. Facilities are very basic, only 2 showers in the ladies and 2 in the gents, and 3 toilets for each. But they were always clean. Freezer to freeze ice packs (spares also provided). Telephone box on site too. The shop on site is very basic only selling essentials.
Entrance to site from Coombe Martin is a sharp left hand turn, quite difficult. Nice walk to Watermouth Cove from the site, lots of rock pools and shallow water - good for children.
There is no large supermarket in this area, so you have to use the local Spar shops which can be expensive. Good small friendly basic site, with stunning views.

I visited this campsite in July and had the most amazing time, location, views and the campsite were stunning.

oilet and shower block were a bit dated, but were always spotless.

Owners were really friendly, as were all of the people we met there.

100% brilliant, you have to go!

Totally agree with other reviews. This place is stunning. The campsite is on a hillside overlooking beautiful coastline, separated into smaller terraced fields, so you are not aware of lots of other people. We were on the lower level with uninterrupted views.

Kids loved it - small play area, trees to climb and shrubbery to explore - kiddy heaven!! Toilets and showers spotless but basic. Shop really useful and was always open when we needed it, and owners really friendly and welcoming.

Lovely walk to Watermouth Cove directly from campsite. This site feels really rural, yet is only a few minutes drive from Coombe martin and Ilfracombe. Perfect.

We consider this to be the nicest site we have visited in the UK. The terraces give privacy and beautiful views. The toilets and showers were always clean and the camp well-maintained. The owners / managers are very laid-back, friendly and hepful, but run a tight ship.

We were on the same level as the toilet block. If you are on one of the higher terraces, you may find it a bit of a trek.

This is a wonderful place for a tranquil holiday.

WOW! This is an amazing place to put a campsite. The views are fantastic. The sunset is spectacular, the sunrise was amazing with it shimmering off the sea, and, as mentioned previously, the view when washing the dishes was wonderful.

The downside of all that is that it is a bit exposed. We went there the weekend the rest of the country had glorious sunshine but Devon and Cornwall had a gale. We managed to pitch up OK but it made for a noisy night - all for the wrong reasons!

The owners are very helpful. I flattened the car battery blowing up the airbeds and it was no bother to come and help. The Fiest was a bit unique though.

The dog enjoyed it, there was a huge field for him to run around.

This campsite, lived up to all the reviews, and suppassed them. The views from the campsite are spectacular. There are tiered levels, with huge marked pitches. Everyone gets to see the sea, there are plenty of drinking water points, excellent recycling facilities, and the toilets/showers are "basic" but clean and more than adequate. The views from the washing up point are spectacular, beats looking at a brick wall, like at home! There is a little shop, selling the basics, certainly recommend the bacon, eggs (duck from the farm) and bread, all local and so tasty. The owners are lovely and friendly too. Will definitely return to this site, its worth going to again and again and again! :0)

Had an excellent time on our visit. The views were spectacular and it was ideally situated for visiting the local attractions. It was a lovely quiet campsite, the pitches were a good size and everyone was very helpful. The charges were very reasonable and all in all it was a lovely weekend away.

My visit to Little Meadow was my first camping experience so I haven't got anything to compare it to however I would highly recommend the site. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The campsite was very laid back with a tranquil relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful views out to sea and very pretty surroundings on the site. Facilities were basic but very clean.

This campsite has the most stunning views. The best I have seen (and I have been to a good many sites, over the years.) The pitches all seem to be large and the site is very peaceful.Toilets and showers are basic but perfectly adequate and very clean.
The only fault we had was the weather, but that is England for you. It certainly didn't spoil our holiday on this pretty campsite. Plenty of wildlife as well. It was lovely getting up in the morning to see all different coloured rabbits feeding on the grass. Recycling here is excellent. Well done Sian and Nick.

What an excellent campsite. Really low-key, quiet and well-run by friendly husband and wife team. The site is perched high above the Bristol Channel and has stunning views across to Wales as well as some pretty sun sets. The pitches are generous and arranged in tiers so everyone gets a good sea view. Toilets and showers are perfectly adequate also (20p's needed though!). The campsite operates a good recycling policy and campers are encouraged to participate. There are 2 decent pubs within walking distance down private footpaths, no walking on the road at night required!
