  • 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.

What customers say

A quiet, rural spot with great views and coastal access. Friendly staff, basic but clean facilities with hot showers. Some noted the slope, 6amp electric, tricky access and dated amenities.

Emily C. 1 review

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site (eight person)

Liked Very quiet.

Disliked Facilities very basic and could do with an upgrade. On arrival no one was there to great us, this ment we just grabbed our instructions from the side and found our pitch ourselves. Finding our pitch wasn’t clear as there were no markings or ways of knowing we were in the right place. We also felt like we were plonked in the middle of a field and presumed they must have been busy and that’s why we didn’t get a spot around the outside. But the spots around the outside never filled up.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear your dislikes. There was a notice on the door stating that if no one around the information regarding your pitch was inside the door on the left. This included a map to locate your pitch. There was also a telephone number you could call if you had any problems.
Our site does state that the hookups are 6amp and therefore will only cope with camping electrical equipment and not household ones.

Unpowered grass campervan site (small)

Liked Very nice site manager who did try and make thing right. The facilties are dated but clean.

Disliked Sloping site even though opposite is stated on pitch up. Even the small area that looked flat wasn't. Certainly not worth the pitch price. Ended up finding a different site and paying another pitch fee. Disappointing.

Unpowered grass tent site (three person)

Liked Unfortunately we are not in a position to give any positive feedback. It is close to Beer!

Disliked Very aggressive and intimidating manager/owner.
We arrived outside the arrival time at 6.40, reception was closed so we drove into the camp field to call the owner, we did not get out of the car.
The owner arrived in her car, repeatedly shaking her head, it was obvious she was angry. She came over to us and repeated the rules of the site and told us we should not have entered... She repeated this at least three times and we apologised, she told us we had to move and to follow her, which we did. She then verified our booking and admonished us more for breaking the rules and at this point I really felt like I didn't want to stay. ( My husband opened his car for to take the booking form)
(Her hostility and anger was escalating 😡 )
We had been looking forward to a relaxing weekend after a busy week and this was not what we expected, so I said that we were sorry for the inconvenience of being late. She said;
"I expect you have been on the beach all day drinking. Alcohol" 😱 I was so shocked, we had both finished work late!
I told her that we wouldn't be giving a positive review.
At this point she told us to leave. "GET OFF MY FUCKING PROPERTY."

My husband said he wouldn't leave until we got a refund, she aggressively slammed our car door, got into her car and started to reverse into us, then moved her car behind ours and said she would get a tractor to tow us out.
She was extremely aggressive, and intimidating.
We called the Police

The whole incident escalated over about 15 mins.

I felt so incredibly SHOCKED by this woman's anger. Her partner joined her and was rude, sneering and derisive.
It was so upsetting that we drove back home. What should have been a relaxing weekend turned into a nightmare.

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.
