  • Peaceful and secluded farm site with views of Dartmoor
  • Over 30 acres of farmland with woodland walks from the site
  • Wildlife haven: spot red and roe deer, badgers and buzzards
Searching for a Devon getaway close to the beach and to Dartmoor and where the whole family is welcome? Look no longer… make tracks for Hollocombe Hideaway, a family- and dog-friendly site half an hour’s drive from the coast at Widemouth Bay and with views of Dartmoor from the grounds. The site covers over 30 acres of woodland, including woodland walks where the owners regularly spot red deer, roe deer and the resident sett of badgers. The tall trees next to the site stream are home to buzzards that frequently soar overhead. Off site, the farm’s setting down a quiet country lane five minutes from Hollacombe and Holsworthy is in rural countryside with walks along fields starting directly from the grounds. It’s 15 miles from the farm to the sands of Widemouth Bay, for sunbathing, swimming and lunches or afternoon tea at the nearby cafés as well as picnics at the secluded bays along the coast from here. Just along the bay from Widemouth is a beach where dogs are allowed all year round. The site’s also within easy reach (25 minutes’ drive) of the seaside resort of Bude, with its wide sandy beaches gently sloping to the sea. Bude beaches are lifeguarded in high season and are a popular destination for family surfing as surf schools offer lessons and kit hire. Inland, Dartmoor is half an hour’s drive away and Tavistock with its weekly markets, art galleries, museum and independent shops is within 45 minutes.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Loved everything about the site, especially the very lovely owners of the site. Nothing was too much trouble if we asked anything and we just adored the peaceful setting and views from our pitch.
The shower and toilet block was top class, clean and well topped up with toilet rolls etc. loved the water pressure in the showers too.
The silence of no busy roads was just perfect on top of every other perfect thing at this campsite.
Thank you!

Dandylion cabin

Liked: Lovely location, the accommodation was ample for what we needed. The little extras of shampoo/toothpaste/shower gel etc were a lovely touch. Everywhere was clean, Natasha welcomed us as though we were family rather than guests. Lovely relaxing weekend break would highly recommend and would definitely come again.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike, just would have been useful to have a sieve and slotted spoon

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it really does mean the world to me. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Hollocombe Hideaway and really hope to see you again.
Noted about the slotted spoon and sieve and have now purchased one.

Local attractions

If your holidays are incomplete without a beach day or two, you'll be well chuffed with this location. The site is 25 minutes’ drive from the nearest beach (Summerleaze, in Bude), and other sandy stretches at Crooklets and Sandymouth Bay are within half an hour; all three are good picks for surfing, sea fishing, swims and sandy strolls. When a break from sea, surf and (perhaps) sun is needed, stick around Bude to wander along the canal towpaths, call in at the castle – where there’s a history museum and art gallery – or have a taste tour (self guided) of the town’s many eateries. Days in urban environs aren’t limited to Bude either… There are plenty of scenic villages worth exploring up and down the coast, none more so than the privately owned, blessedly car free and most pretty cobblestoned village of Clovelly, 40 minutes from base. Nature-filled hours are a cinch hereabouts too: the site is 35 minutes from the edge of Dartmoor National Park and – for a bit more order – RHS Garden Rosemoor is within half an hour. A little stuffy for younger tastes? It’s 20 minutes’ drive to the Gnome Reserve and Wildlife Garden in West Putford.
