Branscombe Airfield and Camping

Liked Loved the shop, had little things we needed. Check in process was so easy! Liked you could choose where to pitch up.
Loved that they had a bar and pizza van on Sunday night (bank holiday) with a singer! Made such a lovely evening!

Disliked Toilets and showers could be slightly better but loved that they had port a loos dotted around the airfield so you didn’t have to walk really far for a wee

Liked The welcome was great and the information issued was also very useful. the pitch sizes are great and the facilities always clean and usable. The pop-up bar and pizza on Sunday were very enjoyable as was the sing along. The dog walking area was definitely a good idea

Disliked Can't say there was anything that I could list as a dislike.

Liked Just back from an amazing weekend stay at Brancombe, we travelled a few hours to get there we arrived early and asked if we could check in early we were told we could which was a great help to us, we were greeted at reception with a lovely welcome.
We chose a lovely pitch, plenty of space there were plenty of toilets situated around the site, lovely hot showers that were cleaned regularly. The dog paddock was huge a great space for our dog to run around. The pizza van was a great added extra, couldn’t have asked for anything more, would highly recommend!

Liked Owners were really lovely
Campsite was peaceful with great views
Amenities looked great but didn’t use them
Shop had lots of basics and camping items if you forgot anything plus toys for the kids
Location was great to get to the beaches nearby

Disliked Would’ve been ideal to be pre warned about the single track road which leads to the campsite. Was hairy at times!

From the manager: Thank you for your review on your 1 nights stay with us. The road into us is normal for this part of the country with plenty of passing places and the local bus and lorries use it daily

Liked Great fun watching the planes take off. Tracey was lovely and welcoming. Good games room for the kids. Good location between sidmouth and beer.

Disliked Chris was pretty unkind to my kids, I went with them to check for myself at one point when they asked for change to spend on the pool table, he didn't say a word to them, really unwelcoming sadly. My son put his bike in the games room (our fault as we drill it into him to leave it safe) bearing in mind this games room was a little rough around the edges, a worker came in and instead of asking him nicely to put it outside he asked him if he thought it was clever bringing it into the room, very passive aggressive and just not nice. There are also not enough facilities on this site, only 4 unisex showers, 1 male and 1 female with 2 or 3 toilets. Very dirty at times. Although we were there bank holiday weekend when they opened the airstrip for extra campers. The approach to this site is very tight, make sure you research which way to come because if you're in a motorhome or with a caravan and you take the wrong route in you are in serious trouble.

From the manager: We are sorry you feel this way, this is certainly a first for us saying Chris was not kind to your children. We need to however point out there are more toilets and showers than you mention in your review, as for the approach into us, the bus and larger motorhomes get into us with no issues

Liked Our stay was excellent everyone goes above and beyond to make your stay great.
Great pizzas and pop up bar on the Sunday,

Disliked Nothing

Liked We've been here twice now and the kids love the open space and the planes.
Its clean and tidy.
Very good location
Quiet at night

Disliked There was no where to bath/wash our baby. He went nearly a week without a bath.
The campsite could do with another block of toilets. Theres only 4 female toilets for the whole campsite, I understand its a smaller campsite but it just didnt seem enough.
The shop was closed ALOT of the time even when it said on the door it would be open.
The ground is very very hard, we had rock pegs and found it very difficult to put the tent up.
The park needs some TLC, the play equipment is very old and can easily splinter a childs hand. The kids didnt enjoy the park especially as it was for under 7s which seems a shame for slightly older children.

From the manager: Its a shame you fell this way after being here twice before knowing we have no baby washing facilities. There are actually only 2 female toilets and a gents all the rest are unisex. The convince shop sign says its open when we are in it or core hours, and was not closed ALOT as you say, as we are in it nearly all the time at this time of year. The ground is especially hard this year as we have had no rain for months

Liked Absolutely amazing stay. Wonderful, helpful and friendly owners. Great place for children to stay as very child friendly. The games room is a great. Showers and toilets clean and tidy. And its lovely that you can watch the planes take off and land. Would definitely recommend and will be back for another stay.
