  • 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).

Liked: Super clean facilities and the bay view. The staff were also super friendly, especially as were able to leave the van on our day of checkout and go for a run! The site has full signal as well, plus WiFi, it that's you're sort of thing (we're now considering coming for a week and working there...!)

Disliked: None!

Bay View electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Stunning campsite with amazing views! The onsite facilities are great and all communal spaces are extremely clean. We found it great for our young dog as there was an enclosed field where we were able to let her off the lead for a run around. The campsite is also very close to the local towns and beach, cannot recommend enough

Bay View electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Top- Platz! Sehr große Stellplätze, dadurch wenig Störung. Trotz der Größe des Campingplatzes durchweg ruhig. Top Service für Gebäck und kleine Auswahl an Lebensmitteln. Personal ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und engagiert. Tolle Zugänge zu Lynmouth und Lynton auch zu Fuß. Für das Wochenende bietet der Platz auch einen Foodwagon an. Tolles Essen vor Ort frisch gekocht.

Disliked: Nichts!

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).
