Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Quiet, clean, well cut grass fields, stunning views, well maintained with modern facilities.
Friendly staff.
Cleaner very early every day including Sunday mornings does a super job leaving everything sparkling …. until you get one thoughtless guest!
Option of visiting coffee and food vendors.
Excellent location 5 minute drive to supermarkets and coffee outlets in Bideford, gentle walk to beach, short drive to sandy beaches.
Disliked Nothing, fabulous campsite, some nice to haves though ….. would be nice if there were spare recycling bins to swap out in busy periods if possible.
Please can you ask dog owners to exercise their dogs in lane not bring them into the camping fields!
And a nice to have would be Atlantic non electric field for tent campers only no lorries, vans, trucks, motorhomes etc

From the manager: Many thanks Jess for the lovely review of your stay with us and your would likes.
We are a working family farm to and are sorry that the the recycling bins were full. These are swapped over by a telehandler (driven by my husband) and as he was busy harvesting at the time they were unfortunately not swapped over as usual.
If we catch dog owners taking their dogs for a walk in the opposite direction to the lane we have a quick word with them. 90% of dog owners wouldn't dream of taking their dogs into the other fields.....there are alway a few who think they are the exception to all the rules, hence this being mentioned.
Tents these days seem to be in the minority and it wouldn't be worth us opening up Atlantic View if we did this, sorry. We get a lot of families staying with us where teenagers want to stay in a tent and the rest of the famly are in a caravan or motorhome - this way we are including everyone.
I was so pleased you had a lovely stay with us. We are always open to suggestions of something we may not have thought of. We've been doing this now for almost 20 years and you get to know what works and doesn't.

Quiet peaceful clean site
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We stayed here 4 nights in a tent non electric. We loved the fact that it was lovely and quiet in the field we were in but the whole site was a quiet one and everyone is very respectful and mindful of each other. So a lovely peaceful site which is just what we wanted - not a place for those who want late nights music etc. The site is very clean as were the toilets, showers and kitchen. Staff are very friendly and there is a small shop there for essentials. Asda 7 mins drive away. Lovely stroll down to a pebble beach from here 15 or so mins. Fab location we went to westward ho beach, Appledore and Clovelly (highly recommend wear trainers) all 15 mins drive away. There is a Livit place in the field behind we were in ( not owned by campsite)which has saunas/yoga/ tents etc but it wasn’t being used while we were there so no disruptions to us. Lovely view of sea from the site too. We would recommend this place and would definitely come back again!

Checking in was quick and easy
Cheap rate for hikers
Good location for the coast path
Disliked No segregated area for hikers/backpacking tents so I was in amongst the cars and vans in order to find a good spot.

From the manager: George thank you for the lovely review of your stay with us. I'm sorry you would rather have had a segregated area - we find that most backpackers love the fact of chosing their spot to pitch. Look forward to seeing you another time.

Spotless clean facilities.
Being able to choose not to use and so pay for electricity.
Disliked Narrow lane from main road without real passing places
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Rosi for the lovely review of your stay with us.
We've been doing this for almost 20 years and the narrow lanes have neve been an issue here. There are 3 passing places along the mile from the main road plus we have designated times for people coming into us from 2.30pm and leaving us by 11.30am which works really well. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to change the lanes and after all we are in the countryside. Hopefully we'll see you again one day.
