  • 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).

Beggar's Field powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (water hook-up)

Liked Site is clean and well maintained. Clean Tea towels and dish cloths are a nice touch in the dish washing area. Food van also a nice touch, husband had a bacon and egg bap which he said was delicious. Good walks to Lynton & Lynmouth. Warm welcome and quirky reception

Disliked The showers are the only let down. Clean but only last less than a minute before coming off so constantly turning on and took a long time to warm up and room was cold

Exmoor View camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked What a lovely place to stay! The site is beautifully laid out, with spacious pitches and wonderful views. The facilities are incredibly clean and well looked after, and the pod itself was cosy, with a wonderfully comfortable bed.

As someone travelling alone with a dog, I really appreciated how safe and relaxed I felt here. Everything was easy and straightforward, which made the stay all the more enjoyable.

My Jack Russel absolutely loved it too! We had such a lovely few days exploring the area and coming back to our cosy little pod.

And if you’re visiting with a dog, don’t miss the dog shop in Lynton.

I’d happily stay again and thoroughly recommend it!

Disliked A little microwave maybe?? Definitely not a deal breaker.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind and detailed review! 😊 We’re so pleased you enjoyed our beautiful site, spacious pitches and wonderful views! We are delighted to hear you thought our facilities were incredibly clean and well looked after - and that you enjoyed your stay in the cosy pod!✨

We also are super happy that you felt safe as a solo traveller and that your pup also loved the stay!🐾🌿

We hope to welcome you back again soon! 🏕️😊

This is the third time visit, l would not hesitate to recommend it.

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).
