Reviewer: Lowibike 2 reviews from this member

 Very friendly staff and helpful escorted to pitch very good sized allowing for awning and car and helped to position van all the information you needed was provided.

The best washing facilities we have come across lots of recycling points good size pitches.

Close to village with everything you need also you can order papers and other items to be delivered if required

There is WiFi but we didn't use this cannot coment on TV signal either as we didn't use a TV

Ideal for the coast path with bus back from Ilfracombe

Will be returning here when ever in the north Devon area a quiet site a lovely get away from it all but close enough to everything you need

 A lovely site, very family friendly.

Enjoyed drinking my tea in the morning and watching the alpacas and chickens in the adjacent field. Facilities were clean, private and spacious.

Loved the option of preordering bread, milk and other essentials the day before to be delivered to campsite.

Staff welcoming and pitches excellent. Will definitely book again.

 This is a great campsite. Very friendly staff, clean and very well maintained. The location is great with Coombe Martin beach just 5 mins walk and Woolacombe beach 30 mins drive. The coastal path walk from the campsite to Ilfracombe has lovely views. We had a great time, thank you to all the staff

Reviewer: Aitch36 1 review from this member

 We have just returned from a lovely week at Newberry Valley. We have large tent and stayed on a premier pitch. The pitch was spacious, level and flat and the tent pegs went in easily. The water and electricity were on the pitch. The picnic table was really useful. The site was quiet and staff were helpful and friendly. The toilet block was superb with individual bathrooms with toilet, sink and shower (or bath). Free hot water and showers. We never had to wait to use the showers or toilets. There were ample sinks for washing up with plenty of space around them. We did not use the laundry room but it looked good. The children's play area was well-maintained and looked good. We had lovely walk around the fishing lake at dusk watching the bats - amazing. The walk into town took about ten minutes along the footpath opposite the site. We had nice meal at the Dolphin pub (beer garden), bought a couple of ice creams, some camping supplies and groceries. On other days we drove to Ilfracombe and took the ferry to Lundy, have a day out in Barnstaple, cycled the Tarka Trail from Barnstaple and spent some time on the beach at Woolacombe.

Reviewer: Happy Tenters 1 review from this member

 Had a wonderful time at Newberry Valley in July. The pitches were roomy and the picnic table a valuable extra for those of us travelling from abroad and not able to bring chairs. The water and electric hook up points per premium pitch made life very easy. The facilities are ideal for young families - not having to shower children in a small cubicle and feed coins into a meter like many other camp sites, and having toilet and wash basin in the same room very handy for young ones. There was plenty of hot water and the toilet blocks were kept clean, even when the site got busy towards the end of our stay. The 4 washing machines and 4 tumble driers were also a great asset and reasonable charges for use.

I camped with my 7 year old and had a pitch at the far end of the campsite. Whilst nice and secluded it was a long walk from the facilities but once our friends arrived a few days after us, the friendly staff allowed us to repitch closer to the facilities and our friends. The children loved the play park, and many had bikes they could safely cycle through the campsite. The alpacas were popular too!

Combe Martin is a lovely little village with everything you need for a day on the beach, and the short walk from campsite to the beach along the track across the road was very handy. We used the Tesco at Ilfracombe for main food shops but the stores in the village were handy for the odd extra item. The ice cream and sweet shop in Combe Martin was highly rated by my daughter! The beach is fantastic at low tide with endless rock pools to explore, but also with safe swimming in the sandy areas. I highly recommend Newberry Valley for families. The area has many attractions for children of all ages and the beach at Woolacombe is great for older children who are more surf focused.

Thank you for a lovely stay, we'll be back!

Reviewer: Jackmark10 1 review from this member

 Wonderful site. Stayed for 4 nights and it was very clean and toilet and shower blocks where spotless. Very well looked after site. Staff brilliant and I will be going back there again. 5 minute walk to the beach which was perfect with a 5 year old who loves the beach. 10 out of 10 for the site

Reviewer: Evanscolin 1 review from this member

 Booked this site via the web, looked at the other reviews and we must say we weren't disappointed, from the reception to being seen to our pitch the service is excellent. The pitches are very large compared to other sites, exceptionally clean and tidy. The showers and toilets are second to none, each being a big individual room with everything you need, again all kept very clean and in excellent condition.

The other facilities we didn't use but there were plenty of washing machines, driers, even and ironing board and iron for your use, along with hairdryers etc. Along with the standard dish washing, toilet / waste emptying etc.

The site was quite and relaxed, everyone friendly, nice to say good morning to people and get a friendly reply back.

Only a few minutes walk from the centre of Combe Martin and a short ride to Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Barnstable, Bideford, Instow etc there's loads to visit making it an ideal base for your visit to the area.

We don't really make reviews but thought this site was well worth the effort, an excellent park, non intrusive people who own / run it but they are there if you need them

Highly recommended

Reviewer: AstroPete 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Newberry Valley for two weeks in late June/early July 2016 and loved the site. Arranged along the bottom of a narrow valley on three terraces. I was concerned it might prove to be a waterlogged site but far from it. It is well drained and despite most days being rainy the pitch remained free from puddles and soggy grass. The site is well managed, attractive and eco-friendly. It is quiet except for the sound of sheep and cattle in the fields. It has a fishing lake, chickens guarded by alpacas, and a children's play area. The facilities are excellent and well maintained. Yes, everyone talks about the shower rooms, bathroom etc. We agree they are brilliant. WiFi was good with a strong signal across much of the site. We had a good tv signal (Freeview)from the Combe Martin transmitter only a couple of miles away. Fresh bread, cakes and meat orders are available on site, although the village is an easy walk away. Combe Martin has a long and often narrow high street which is not for the faint-hearted when towing a caravan at busy times. At peak times it may be better approached from the west. We got through without problem on a Sunday morning. The site is convenient for access to many places of interest on the North Devon coast and its hinterland. We also visited Lundy Island on a day trip from Ilfracombe.

We really loved it all despite the wet weather and agreed that Newberry Valley site would be on our list of site deserving a return visit. Finally I must add a thank you to the staff who helped us out when we arrived with a caravan problem. Their assistance and advice helped us acquire a spare part within an hour of arrival and be pitched and running again very quickly.

 Excellent campsite, very well run, excellent warden, top toilet/shower/bathroom/wash-up facilities that are spotlessly clean and well maintained. Plenty of room (we had a classic motorhome pitch) and very peaceful. Excellent location for Combe Martin and for us as a cycling base for the area

Reviewer: Carolinea100 2 reviews from this member

 This site is set in a beautiful valley with walking access down a track to Combe Martin - the beach has wonderful rockpools.

But, be warned, on arrival there is a very tight turn into the site with a fast road and blind bend. Dangerous for walking along.

Staff were friendly and helpful and in evidence around the site.

Toilet/shower facilities were very good, clean and modern.

The site itself is on different levels but connected by a mixture of tarmac and rubble roadways.

We had booked a premier, hard standing, serviced pitch. The serviced aspect was fine but the hard standing was truly atrocious with thinly spread grit and rubble and was covered in weeds- some ankle high. The grit got into our van at each entry and really made us feel that this part of the site has been ignored. There is evidence of newly constructed bricked hard standing pitches, but we booked months ago and still ended up with the worst pitch we had ever experienced.

The grass pitches in contrast seemed well kept.

Attention definitely needs to be given to those who have paid a premium for hard standing. A few bags of gravel and, despite the laudable conservation aims of the site, some weedkiller is needed. Also, the road leading out of the site is very badly cracked and not a good surface for a caravan to travel over.

The whole site is a weird mixture of well done new parts with very poor rundown parts.

In truth this was, for us, a disappointing experience. We felt cheated and will not return.

 Just returned from this excellent site. When we arrived at reception the staff were friendly and helpful, we were shown to our pitch, a premium fully serviced pitch, it was a good sized level pitch with grass and a lovely extra, our own picnic table and bench. The site is set on 3 levels in small groups, so you never felt overlooked. Large meadow to walk the dogs and also lovely woodland walks where the dogs can run free. Superb toilet and shower facilities along with laundry and pot washing area. A short stroll into Combe Martin and the dog friendly Newberry beach. A lovely place with nice shops and pubs.

I couldn't fault this wonderful site, we will definitely visit again.

Reviewer: Jsmile 2 reviews from this member

 This was our first time away in our motorhome, and we were slightly apprehensive. Directions to campsite, was really easy to find (and no need for sat nav.) On arrival personally welcomed and shown to our pitch, also explaining where the facilities were. Also a map of the site and what is on in Devon etc. Facilities consist of individual shower/washing/toilet rooms. Washing up area, and the use of micro wave and fridge if needed. All areas spotless. There is a play area for the children, but no club house.

The Staff were friendly and hard working. Always appeared to be on hand if needed.

Dogs are allowed as long as on the lead. Only 5 minutes away to dog beach, but plenty of walks through the woods. Combe Martin only 5 minutes away, but it could be difficult if you have trouble in walking.

This is a place to relax and unwind, but if you want to tour surrounding area very near to other places of interest.

Thank you to all the staff for making our weekend, wish we could have stayed longer.

 This is a beautiful site set in a valley with a fishing lake. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful holiday this is the place. The pitches are large, plenty of room for your awning many with picnic table and benches. It's a clean well kept site, the facilities are good and the wardens are very helpful. There is a lovely dog walk with a meadow for them to run free. The village is a short walk downhill, steep uphill return. Don't try it if you are disabled, too steep for a scooter. The village has everything you need, bakery, Spar shop, post office, novelties, cafe. The Pack of Cards at the top of the town does a Sunday carvery with music in the garden. Plenty of places to visit in the area along the coast. Would recommend this site.

Reviewer: Luckyskip 19 reviews from this member

 Really disappointed with the site to be honest. Came here for two nights having spent some time here last year. After being told by the wardens that the site was due to be improved on for 2016. It was on that information that we chose this site again.

Seriously. We felt Let down.

The weather did not help at all but only proved to point out some of the issues that were in need of addressing. The hard standing pitches along the top were heavily covered in weeds and the drainage from the hardstanding pitches was in some cases, non existent! Our pitch was more like that of a pond! The water collected around our truck like we were on / in. Some sort of a moat!

Insufficient hardcore down on the pitches (again. Along the top selection as we were on there) just made you feel that these have been forgotten?

This has the potential to be a very 'special' site, but although it commands a high price to be here, it is not reflected in the level of what is offered here.

Maintenance could be greatly improved on most definitely. I'm sure the costs to stay here should be put forward to improve the look especially when it comes to the gravelled pitches? It's not asking a lot.

Why in today's lifestyle. Is wifi charged extra here? Everyone now a days, relies on some form of connection to the ' modern world'. Here it is charged for extra to the high fee already paid for the pitch?

This was the dearest site we have stopped on, and even though it was on a medium rate pitch, it was and is expensive in comparison to a lot of others with wifi included.

There is the option to mention the issues to the owners so that they can address the faults found and make our/your stay, a better one. The problems here required looking at before the season began and not at the point of stopping over surely?

Disappointed.

 Just returned from a week's break at Newberry valley. What can we say, 5 star in every respect, fabulous ablution facilities! Have never experienced having a whole bathroom suite to myself before on a campsite! I do however wonder if there are enough facilities to cater for everyone during peak months. Excellent pubs and eateries within walking distance and ilfracombe a short drive away as is woolacombe. Staff we met were friendly and helpful, did not use the on site shop but looked well stocked and facility to order bread, rolls and cakes etc for the following day. All in all a thoroughly pleasant experience, good dog walking areas too with meadow and woodland.

Would certainly consider a return visit.
