  • Adults-only site on a small family-run holiday complex
  • A 10-minute drive from Clovelly; 20 minutes from Westward Ho!
  • Indoor pool, hot tub, gym and fishing lake (all for an additional fee)
Moorhead Country Holidays is an adults-only site set in 12 acres of Devon countryside with spectacular views over unspoilt North Devon. It’s based in Woolsery village, 10 minutes by car from the fishing town of Clovelly and 20 minutes from Westward Ho! (with its beach car park just an extra five minutes onward). Although it's part of a family-friendly holiday complex, the site is for adult couples only, especially those who are looking for a peaceful, relaxing break surrounded by the countryside. The site often has excellent sunrises and sunsets, as well as spectacular starry nights. There’s a fishing lake for keen anglers, and a gym on site so you can keep up your fitness regime, plus an indoor pool – when you’ve expended enough energy, go and have a chill in the hot tub. An inviting bar-restaurant is open six evenings (not Sunday) a week in summer, and for times when it is closed, Woolsery has a grocery store, fish and chip shop and pub.

What customers say

Guests enjoyed the swimming pool, hot tub, quiet pitches, and games room. The food and staff received high praise. However, some visitors were unaware of the extra charge for swimming and found the grass pitches very muddy after rain, making car access difficult. Narrow lanes leading to the site were also noted. The manager stated swimming charges and grass pitch conditions are clearly advertised.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Swimming pool, hot tub, quiet pitch, games room with lots of board games to be played as well

Disliked Having to pay for swimming( didn’t know until little one was ready and dressed)
All grass so getting out with the car is difficult when it’s been raining as it’s extremely muddy

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, and pleased you enjoyed your stay, and made use of our games room.
Sorry you did not realise swimming was not included, it is very clearly written in our discriptions and the cost.
We also advertise as a grass pitches for tents, unfortunatly when it does rain grass becomes wet and muddy.
