  • 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).

What customers say

Great views & super clean, modern facilities (even a dishwasher!). Staff are legends – friendly & helpful. Bit of a steep trek to town, and it can get windy. Showers could be hotter/longer for some. Still, rave reviews & lots keen to come back!

The View fully-serviced grass caravan site

Liked Site is in a lovely position and well maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Dog exercise field was great and also the 'eat at the retreat'.

Disliked Although the shower block is modern and very clean there are a couple of things which would make having shower more efficient and pleasant.
1. As the weather had changed heating would've been appreciated
2. The water cut off is a little too quick, particularly when the block is cold.
3. There is nowhere to put shower gel/shampoo within the cubicle, a shelf would be helpful.
4. For those in a tent or camper without facilities the lack of privacy
cubicles with wash basins is surely difficult. For example not everyone wants to wash their face/brush their teeth or do their make up in public.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. 😊🌿 We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed our lovely location, well-maintained site, friendly team, dog exercise field and, of course, the Eat at the Retreat! 🐾🍽️

We’re also very grateful for your constructive comments regarding the shower facilities. 🚿 Your points about heating, the shower timer, storage for toiletries and additional privacy are all valuable, and we’ll certainly share them with the team for consideration - the heating is now on ready for the colder months so thank you! We’re always looking for ways to improve our guests’ experience, and feedback like yours helps us do that. 💚

Thank you again for staying with us and for your helpful suggestions. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! 😊🏕️✨

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review! ✨

We are so glad you found the site lovely, well looked after and found our team helpful. ✨😊

Being so high up does make us more likely to feel the elements, but we like to think the views and sunsets make up for it. 🌄✨

Great site we will be visiting again

Rabbit Field powered gravel and concrete motorhome site

Liked Absolutly lovely site! Couldnt fault a thing, lovely spacious pitch, great view over the fields behind, very clean and tidy with friendly reception staff. Shame we only stayed the 1 night over bank holiday! A nice touch having the Airstream serving food and cocktails 👌

Disliked The hills getting up to the site 😂

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review!

We are so glad you couldn't fault anything. We are thrilled you enjoyed the spacious pitch, lovely valley views and found everything very clean. I will pass the great feedback to the team. 😊✨

We are also glad you got to enjoy the onsite airstream. 🍔🍸

The hills can be a challenge but we do think it is worth it. 🌄😉

We look forward to seeing you again (for more than one night 😊).

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

Liked Pretty much everything, facilities were exceptional and the best i have come across, clean well maintained toilets and showers, on site shop with the essentials and some extras! On site food airstream was really good with a nightly special and good sized portions. Views were stunning from our bay view pitch. Would highly recommend and have booked to stay again.

Disliked This are just observations and not really things we disliked, roads to the site can be on the narrow side and lots of hills and tight bends, we don't have the best car and we made so it's perfectly accessible I would just be awareness this, some of the hill need a run up to get up! Showers cut off quickly and get very hot so just be careful of that. Like I said this is all I would say and not really dislikes

From the manager: Thankyou for leaving such a detailed review! 😊

We are so glad you loved your stay with us and have booked to stay again, this is the best feedback. We are thrilled the facilities were kept to a high standard, you enjoyed the onsite shop, the airstream and got to experience the magical views.🌅 🍔

We do appreciate your comments in regards to the roads and also the showers. This will all be reported back to the team for future improvements. 🚿 In regards to noise, we appreciate it can be frustrating, and do remind guests of the curfew as soon as we are aware of noise after quiet hours. ✨

We do look forward to seeing you next year. 😄

Great site, thoroughly recommend.

Liked Excellent site with great facilities. Very much appreciated the friendly staff and thoughtful enforcement of a 10pm noise curfew. Ideally situated to access the north Devon coastline with ease. Onsite catering was a bonus.

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).
