Hidden Gem
Electric grass pitch
Liked: Everything!!
Received a very warm welcome on arrival from Natasha who explained what had changed since our last visit(aug 2023 with previous owners) which includes a small onsite shop selling a few bits and bobs(More stock to come shortly) a new shower and toilet which were all kept tidy and clean throughout our stay - the water pressure in the showers is better than i have had in some hotels!! Natasha is a fantastic host and nothing was too much trouble even our very inquisitive 7 year old daughter who grew very fond of Natasha during our stay, she was always just a call/text away and was very prompt with anything we needed. Was also nice to chat away with a like minded individual and made you feel at home throughout!
Hiring a firepit is a must if like us you love to watch the stars and all the things required for a fire can be purchased onsite.
The pitches were of good size and seemed well looked after, and although the site was quiet i cant see it being crammed if at capacity unlike some sites i've previously visited.
Theres a field and a wooded area you can walk and explore with your four legged friends and/or children which was especially nice to get out of the blazing heat of the past week!
Is located down a track from the road so there isn't really any road noise. The only real noises you hear are from the farmers in the neighbouring fields but this is expected in this sort of area and being big clarkson farm fans we actually enjoyed sitting there and watching them at work!!
Nearby Holsworthy has a few different shops and a waitrose and if you venture further afield to Bude you'll find everything else you need. Bude is also home to some awesome beaches and i can recommend duckpool beach which is about 30mins drive and a national trust car park so if you are members it doesn't cost anything. Some epic sunsets can be seen from here aswell!!
Nearby Roadford Lake and Lyford Gorge is also a must if you have the time and thats your sort of thing!!
Now to probably the best part!! The horses!! Although they aren't Natasha's she helps looks after them and even let our daughter and myself brush and groom the horses which was a treat in itself but an even bigger treat was in store on our final morning we woke up and realised during the night one of the mares had given birth and there was a foal only a few hours old looking at us from no more than 10 ft!! I swear Natasha timed it perfectly it try and entice us to stay longer (we'd already booked an extra 2 nights whilst there) and would have succeeded had we not needed to get back to the real world and work!!!
This site really is a hidden gem and once you go it will pull you back time and time again. so much so we are already planning our next visit in the coming months!
Disliked: Packing up and leaving then the long drive home regretting not staying forever lol

A great place to stay!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: We were greeted as soon as we arrived by the camp owners and were happily welcomed - they gave us a brief over view of the campsite and where to find anything. They gave us a number to call if we needed anything at all during our stay. Because it rained heavy the first night we couldn’t use our fire pit but as soon as the weather picked up on our second evening as soon as we called up they answered and the fire pit was with us within minutes. The campsite itself was lovely and clean, the showers had amazing pressure and temperature! They had 2 horses that you could say hello to throughout the stay which was lovely and it has great views from the campsite field.

Very level pitches
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!

Welcoming host in a peaceful location, clean and comfortable
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.
