  • Laidback dog-friendly north Devon site with sea views from pitches
  • In Exmoor National Park and on the South West Coast Path
  • Horse riding and 'goat café' on site, plus bar with home-made cider
You’re off to the north Devon coast and Exmoor National Park, so presumably you’re hoping for beaches, coast walks, outdoor activities… and maybe a pint of local cider to round off the day? Well, you’ll get all of those at Caffyns Farm, a 160-acre property 10 minutes’ drive from Lynton and Lynmouth – oh, and you’ll get a ‘goat café’ too… This attractive location has sea views from its pitches, giving you a hint that you’re not far from the coast here. In fact, it’s an easy 20-minute walk to the nearest beach, Lee Bay, and as the South West Coast Path runs along the site perimeter, you’ll also be able to walk to places like Woody Bay, Valley of Rocks and Heddon’s Mouth. So that’s a winning location, but there’s more to come – because this is a friendly and laidback place where you can choose your own pitch, get your barbecue or campfire going and generally chill out. You’re welcome to take a wander around the farm to meet the friendly animals (sheep, alpacas and chickens among them) and maybe sign up for horse riding activities – they cater for all levels from beginners to advanced riders. After a walk through the orchard there’s only one thing for it – a pint of the farm’s own cider, of course. You can sample this alongside other drinks in the site’s bar, and also pick up snacks and barbecue supplies in the farm shop. Meanwhile, meals from breakfasts to three-course dinners are available in the barn café. Essential facilities on site include freshwater standpipes, a chemical disposal point, a launderette, two bathroom blocks and a kitchen with fridge/freezer and microwave.

What customers say

Brilliant views from spacious pitches. Well-stocked shop and popular cafe. Friendly staff. Clean facilities generally, though showers are cold and toilets occasionally need attention. Lovely farm setting with animals. Great walks, mind the steep bits. Some noise from others.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Campsite had everything you could need and more. The shop was well stocked, the cafe/bar was lovely. The pitches were ample, with plenty of smaller areas to make you feel cosy but not crowded. The showers/facilities were great. AND THE WALKS ARE INCREDIBLE. 100% recommend and i will be coming back.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Anytime arrival and no check out time means you can make the most of your stay. Cafe and shop on site, walking access to coast path through their orchards. Friendly welcome.

Disliked When super busy the facilities aren’t quite sufficient for the number of people and cleanliness suffers a bit.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great sea views - we were lucky to arrive at Thursday lunchtime and picked a great pitch sheltered from the breeze with trees giving partial shade (Hares field)
The cafe served good food & drink which also had superb views from the garden.
We really appreciated having space to store our food & drink in the large fridges provided plus having a freezer as well for ice blocks.
The showers were good

Disliked Having said the showers were good, they could be cleaner or at least have some cleaning tools to use after you've showered. Also a good clean of the roof space would avoid things dropping down into the shower space.
The Cafe offered a few gluten free cakes & meals however some of the staff seemed unsure of meals available (thankfully the owner stepped in to organise options for me)

Local attractions

You’ll be well placed for lots of Exmoor’s top spots when you stay here, including the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (10 minutes’ drive), the gorge and waterfalls of National Trust - Watersmeet (15 minutes) and the ever-popular Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes). A little further afield, you may like to make your way across the old clapper bridge at Tarr Steps (45 minutes) or conquer Exmoor’s highest point at the 519-metre Dunkery Beacon (40 minutes). If you’re here on a family holiday, you may like to plan outings to places like Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (20 minutes) or Watermouth Castle (half an hour), which has crazy golf, a toboggan run and rides and activities galore in its 17 acres of gardens. And of course there’s always the option of a day at the beach. Family favourites nearby include Woolacombe (35 minutes) and Minehead (40 minutes), along with Ilfracombe (half an hour), which is also the launching point for boat trips to Lundy island.
