  • Small but spacious site overlooking the Devon coast
  • A 10-minute walk from a local bus service to Exeter and Bournemouth
  • Exmoor ponies, sheep, chicken and ducks on site
The clue is in the name – a holiday at Coombe View Farm will guarantee some of the best sea and countryside views east Devon has to offer. Oh, and it just so happens to be a farm too so there really is plenty to entice anyone here to pay a visit. This small but spacious site overlooks the Devonshire coast and is the perfect spot to get your fill of sea air and seriously special scenery. It has level ground and custom-made pathways for driving around, along with oodles of green grass so kids can run about and play safely. It may be rural, but you can still take advantage of the local bus service which runs to Exeter via Sidmouth and Seaton (hop aboard at the stop just a five-minute walk along the lane). The campsite has no bar, no clubhouse, nor nightly entertainment, but with campfires allowed and a haven of wildlife on your doorstep (along with the handy amenities block with loos and showers, a washing-up area and disabled facilities), this is good old quiet camping in a beautiful natural setting which makes for a truly relaxing retreat. Bring on the marshmallows... Exmoor ponies and a small flock of sheep are sometimes on site. Grab your binoculars because the hedgerows and fields surrounding the site also make a convenient home for an array of winged types for you to get your beak spotting too. Wifi is available on the farm but not guaranteed because it is in a rural location without fibre.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (eight person)

Liked Lovely setup, on site manager very lovely and helpful, especially when we rocked up and realised we'd forgotten the air tent pump! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also shout out to the Texaco up the road for having a treasure trove of goods that meant we could solve said issue. Great location. Would definitely come again.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (eight person)

Liked Quiet location, plenty of space, well maintained pitches.

It does have WiFi but only at the main office.

Disliked Not the site owners fault but on site we had incredibly rude, antisocial people who kept the children awake, came far too close to our tent and their teenagers were behaving poorly. 11pm is too late a cut off time for noise!

Showers could probably do with an upgrade but worked fine so not a huge issue.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Going back again definitely!

Souad S. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent pitch (three person)

Liked Myself and my brother stayed for 2 nights and it was very peaceful. Lovely place, even though it was reasonable busy over the weekend, we had a peaceful night. There are lovely views of the countryside, valley and the sea. The grass was nicely mown, never had to wait for toilets or shower (nice hot shower even after lots of people using them) which including a disabled one for those who need it. Washing up area, small fridge and freezer for those who need it. Very welcoming on arrival and throughout. There was useful leaflets in the reception area which helped inform our visits around the area. Linzi was so lovely, welcoming, kind and friendly. She took time to explain and show us around and looked after us. We really enjoyed the stay, recommend coombe view farm. We will definately return here and enjoy this beautiful area.

Disliked We didn't have any dislikes.

Route directions

Satnavs do not always bring guests to the correct location. If you start to travel downhill, that's the incorrect way. Do not turn down Locksey's Lane. Take the next turning, which is adjacent to it. When you turn off the A3052, please stay on the lane and do not turn off. Coombe View Farm is less than one mile from the A3052 on the right-hand side and there are signs in the lane.

Local attractions

Branch out to the village of Branscombe with its pretty beach, just one and half miles from the campsite. Thatched cottages, a working Norman forge and Saint Winifred church make a day out in Branscombe a mightily interesting one. If you’re after a trusty ale or a plentiful helping of hearty pub grub after a day meandering through the scenic village and brushing up on your Devonshire history, then good news: Branscome is sandwiched between two pubs serving the like. The well-looked after Jurassic Coast shingle beach has rockpools for kids to dive into exploring. With fishing trips available, a picnic area and a café serving ice creams on the beachfront too, all in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, everyone’s sure to have a splashing time… Step out on a coastal walk along the footpaths from Branscombe to the fishing village at Beer, just two miles away and with fresh fish available to buy on the sheltered beach to take back for the campfire too. There’s a unmissable all-day brekkie to be had at one of the village’s popular cafés, perfect for prepping you for a guided tour around this history-rich smuggling haven. Can’t decide where to start? Choo-choose a trip to the model railway attraction Pecorama, to keep the kids entertained with gardens, games and train rides. For a more demanding stroll, around seven miles westward you’ll reach the resort of Sidmouth. If you can drag yourself from a deckchair on the pebbly beach, take a peek at the town’s church with its stained-glass window donated by Queen Victoria herself – it’s a royally pretty sight. While you’re up, climb the 500-foot Peak Hill to enjoy a panorama of the area too - one won’t be disappointed with the view. Music lovers, take a trip in August to have yourselves a merry time at the town’s folk festival. You’re never short of a coastline to explore around here: other seaside towns close by include Seaton (an hour’s walk or 10-minute car journey), home to the Axe Yacht Club. Hop aboard the tram here to take in the views of the estuary – twitchers, don’t forget your binos. Exeter is also just 45 minutes by car to the east. The popular university and cathedral city is home to shopping and dining galore, as well as indoor climbing and bowling centres (perfect for rainy days) and a street food market, cycling and canoeing opportunities (for the sunnier ones). A trip to these parts wouldn’t be complete without a scoop (or few) of Devonshire clotted cream dolloped on a fruit-strewn scone, and with the choice of restaurants and eateries in Exeter, you’re sure to be able to trial and test some of the best.
