Meadowsweet Farm

Positiv Lovely, quiet, back to basics site with everything we needed for a nice week away. There were no loud groups which was really appreciated. The owner is really friendly and it was great to have a firepit with a modest fee for logs.

Positiv Back to basics . Great view. Plenty of space

Positiv Close to beach and shops, quiet

Positiv Basic but friendly and relaxed and away from the crowds. Also flat pitches.

Positiv Great location near to beaches. Clean field with the basic facilities. Would happily come stay again.

Negativ None

Positiv What a lovely 4 days stay we had here. Mark the owner was super friendly it was ann amazing stay at his campsite. A really Peaceful atmosphere and we were made to feel really welcome. Lovely memories made here and we will definitely be returning.

So close to the stunning beaches I think we have found our little bit of heaven in Braunton!

Negativ Nothing at all!

Positiv We love this site. Low hassle, high freedom and with just the right level of facilities for us. Big open space, camp wherever you like. Fire pits and wood available. Large, clean composting toilets and the showers were always hot.
It is also very convenient for the shops in Braunton but also the beaches from Saunton (5 mins) to Woolacombe (20 mins) or Ilfracombe (25mins).

Negativ There is a composting toilet in both fields but the campervan field would benefit from a water point. It can also get a bit blustery if the wind picks up. The camping field is well sheltered but the campervan field is more exposed. Fine for the van, not so good for the kids in the awning.

Positiv We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Meadowsweet Farm. As advertised, camping is in the fields adjacent to the farming area and we enjoyed looking over the sheep, chickens and geese "next door". We were warmly welcomed by the Mark and his family who were also camping there for the season. Facilities basic but all that we needed as we were fairly self-contained in campervan. Compostable loos were clean (and not smelly) and showers in the shepherds hut had good pressure and were warm. Good location for Saunton and Braunton - although, if walking, need to find longer off-road routes via the dunes or the hills.

Negativ washing up facilities very basic with no hot water.

Positiv Friendly and easygoing atmosphere.
Plenty of spaces for tents on a flat , grassy ground. No cars on the campingfield which is lovely for kids to play. Excellent location for Braunton Barrows, Saunton and Croyde. Showers in a carriage are quirky and warm. Compost toilets are clean. Firepits are provided and you can buy the wood. The site is managed with careful consideration for the environment. Lovely to see the animals. Marco is a friendly, approachable host.

Negativ The field for the vans could do with a sink and watertap.

Positiv Very simple but nice campsite. Nice low-key atmosphere, relatively flat field with good quality grass and large hedgerows around. Composting toilets, but they were pretty good and clean, off-grid (gas powered) shower block which was warm. Farmer Marco was very friendly and helped me out with some spare tent pegs. Great location to access all of the beaches and Exmoor, with Saunton Sands only a 5 minute drive. Plenty of pubs and shops in Braunton, which a few minutes away by car.

Negativ Adjacent to a main road, so not the quietest of campsites in terms of road noise. Some antibacterial hand gel would be appreciated at the toilets, in lieu of handwashing facilities.
