  • Dog-friendly Devon site near Loddiswell and Middle Avon Valley
  • A 20-minute drive from several beaches and half an hour from Totnes
  • Walks accessible from the site and cafés nearby
It’s beaches and walks galore from Cottage Farm Camping just outside the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On the edge of Loddiswell, this easily accessible site is 20 minutes’ drive away from a reel of beaches, including Bigbury on Sea, South Milton Sands, Hope Cove and Mothecombe. There are a fair few golf courses and National Trust properties in the local area. Plus, with Kingsbridge 10 minutes’ drive away and Plymouth 40 minutes’ drive away, town life isn’t too far either – a great situation for things like restaurants, cafés, shopping and the likes (not forgetting seafood in Salcombe, 20 minutes’ drive away). Those of you who are fans of walking will have a good run of Dartmoor National Park’s moors, 20 minutes’ drive away, or the splendid walks along the river Avon that are accessible on foot from the site and run through the AONB. There are a number of local cafés which have stunning views of the surrounding countryside too. The site itself has large and level-grounded pitches with plenty of space for groups or for dogs (on leads) to sit with you. The facilities at your disposal include compost toilets, an LPG gas shower available for an additional cost and a washing-up station.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The field was flat with soft grass, the pitches lined with a hedge offering privacy. Fantastic views, sunrise was spectacular and the open sky at night was incredible for star watching. The hosts were thoughtful and friendly, the loos clean and fresh (compost) and shower lovely and big - the water was hot! They made recycling possible which was appreciated.

Disliked: A small amount of road noise mainly at rush hour.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A pop up site on a family owned field. Friendly hosts and a beautiful outlook over rolling hills. Very quiet site with basic but clean and functional facilities. The football goals provided all the entertainment my two boys needed. A bargain at the price paid.

Disliked: Nothing at all!

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Great welcome from Rob - interesting to hear his plans for the place. Facilities all good - as described, and beautiful views. Lovely and quiet - we were well sheltered from the gale force storm winds this week! Would be great on a sunny day, very relaxing in any case.

Disliked: Only that the nearest pub has closed down! May reopen - find out before you go if it’s part of your plans.
