  • 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 between Exeter and Bournemouth (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, a small flock of sheep, geese and an array of chickens on site are waiting for a visit from guests. 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

This quiet, rural site offers great views and friendly staff. Pitches are spacious. Facilities are basic but clean, with hot showers. Many loved the peace, though some found facilities dated and the site sloped. Good for exploring the coast.

Primitive grass campervan campsite (small)

Liked Staff welcoming on arrival.
Very peaceful site.
Minimal queuing for the facilities due to being a small site.
Fires allowed.
View of the sea.

Disliked Although you can see the sea, it’s via a barrier of permanent towing caravans that are lined up along the front.
Facilities are very basic and within a converted outbuilding/shed, so very cold during the early/late months but did what was required of them.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your nice review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Our details state that our facilities are basic. We always strive to keep them cleaned and well stocked. This means they are cleaned twice a day, more if required, especially during the busy times of year.

Lovely site, loads of room, well placed to explore surrounding area

Liked Views are great.
Lovely, helpful staff
Good position for walkers

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities are outdated.
Okay for someone who’s not fussy about this. The water was hot but as it was a cold day and we only stayed over night, I didn’t use the shower as they are basically in a shed.

No basics to buy in the reception area.

Our details state that our facilities are basic. We strive to keep them clean and well stocked. Part of this is cleaning the facilities twice a day, more if needed during busy times. We are hoping to try and do some basic improvements to our facilities before next season.

We don't have a shop at Coombe View but there is a service station that sells basic supplies within 2.5 miles

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked It's a field

Disliked Avoid! Stayed one night with the dog on long lead because few sheep in next field in the morning the woman who owns the site came marching over shouting about the dog needs to be on lead ( he was ) very rude said we was leaving because of hostile attitude to shout bye !!! Some man was gob smacked so if you have a dog avoid it owner is an emotional wreck .

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
When you arrived you asked if your dog needed to be on a lead and were told that due to there being sheep in the neighbouring field yes plus it is in the rules of the site for dogs to be on leads at all times. You were even offered some baler twine if you needed to make a longer lead but said you had a longer one with you. Unfortunately your dog was in the field with the owners sheep chasing them around when you were approached by a member of staff and reminded about dogs on leads. You also were unable to recall your dog at that time so they continued chasing the sheep until you got them under control. Luckily the sheep were unharmed but were very stressed by this incident. This is a farm campsite with a small amount of livestock hence the need for dogs on leads.

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.
