  • Peaceful Lynmouth site with views over the Bristol Channel
  • In Exmoor National Park, 30 minutes' drive to Ilfracombe and Minehead
  • Food shop and wifi on site; five minutes' drive to Lynmouth harbour
In need of a Devon des res with smashing views? Lynmouth Holiday Retreat is a quiet site in the hills above Lynton and Lynmouth in the Exmoor National Park. As it's got direct access to the A39, it's a top contender if you're looking for a base to explore the Devon and Somerset coast. Needless to say, there's plenty of stunning scenery around here: keep your eyes peeled for resident wildlife like wild ponies, red deer and birds of prey. The surrounding countryside is also full of trails for rural rambles, including the long-distance South West Coast Path. Dogs are welcome at the site and direct access to footpaths makes it a breeze to keep Fido fit and healthy. Lynmouth Holiday Retreat has plenty of practical benefits too: facilities include a food shop, wifi, a washing-up area and a launderette to keep your gear spick and span. If you find yourself getting peckish, feel free to set up a barbecue, order a takeaway or head down into Lynton (five minutes away) to stock up at the supermarket. You'll likely want to linger here for a stroll around its picture-worthy cottages, fishing boats and genteel Victorian buildings. Alternatively, forage for your own supper by taking the kids crabbing down at Lynmouth harbour (five minutes' drive).

Great site with fab views & clean pitches. Friendly staff, good facilities (dishwasher, dog areas). A bit hilly to town, small shop. Showers have timers. Highly recommended, keen to return.

Bay View powered grass and gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Beautiful site with glorious views. The toilets and showers were very clean and at the (inside) washing up area sponges, clothes and Teatowels were provided. Staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful. An Airstream is on site that sells breakfasts and meals and their cocktails are delicious!! Fully recommended.

Rabbit Field powered gravel and concrete motorhome site

Liked Plenty of space per pitch. Facilities were great and very well maintained and cleaned. Plenty of recycling bins which were regularly emptied. Great views from many pitches. Incredibly well organised and laid out site with many thoughtful touches (eg. bakery deliveries).

A group of 7 of us stayed in a mix of camper vans, tents, glamping pods & glamping dome. All were extremely happy with their accommodation and the facilities.

From the manager: Thank you for your wonderful review! 😊 We're so pleased to hear that your whole group enjoyed their stay, no matter how they chose to camp! ⛺🚐🏕️✨

It's great to know you appreciated our spacious pitches, well-maintained facilities, recycling points ♻️, and the little extras like our bakery 🥐💛. We're especially delighted that everyone—from the camper vans to the tents, pods, and dome—was happy with their accommodation.

We hope to welcome all seven of you back for another memorable group getaway 🌅💙

The View fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Sehr ruhiger, idyllischer Campingplatz. Die Waschmöglichkeiten sind modern und ganztägig sehr sauber. Es riecht immer frisch. Vor Ort gibt es einen Foodtruck, bei dem man vormittags Frühstück und nachmittags bis abends Essen und Getränke bekommt. Zusätzlich gibt es dort Milchshakes und Cocktails. An der Rezeption kann man ebenfalls Backwaren für den nächsten Morgen bestellen. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt. Ein Auto vor Ort ist von Vorteil, wenn man umliegende Sehenswürdigkeiten besuchen möchte.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vielen Dank für deine wunderbare Bewertung! 😊 Wir freuen uns wirklich sehr, dass dir die ruhige Atmosphäre, unsere modernen und sauberen Toilettenanlagen sowie der Foodtruck mit seinen Angeboten gefallen haben. 🚿✨🍔🥤🍹

Deine lieben Worte über unser Team und den Bäckerservice bedeuten uns ebenfalls viel – wir geben das Lob gerne weiter! 🥐💙

Wir sind begeistert, dass du so einen tollen Aufenthalt bei uns hattest und hoffen, dich bald wieder willkommen zu heißen. Bis zum nächsten Mal! 🌿⛺😊

Local attractions

Guests here have plenty of attractions and activities on their doorstep in and around Lynton and Lynmouth (five minutes' drive). For a novel way to travel between the two, try the funicular cliff railway that connects the twin towns. In the surrounding countryside, you can marvel at the geological formations of the Valley of the Rocks (10 minutes) or head out to the forest around Watersmeet (15 minutes) for waterfalls and an elegant Victorian tea room. Many head to this part of the country in search of outdoor pursuits, so sporty types may well be pleased to learn that Lynmouth Holiday Retreat is close to a stables (10 minutes), fishing lake (20 minutes) and golf club (40 minutes). To really get that blood pumping, hike some or all of the 14 miles along the coast to Combe Martin, a hilly stretch of the South West Coast Path that includes this trail's highest point. You may, of course, prefer a day lounging on the beach (and with beaches like these, who can blame you?). Top seaside towns nearby include Minehead, with its rockpools, and Ilfracombe with its castle and aquarium (both half an hour away).
