  • Motorhome pitches on a large field overlooking the Jurassic Coast
  • South West Coast Path 15 minutes’ drive; Lyme Regis 20 minutes
  • On-site restaurant and bar with gin menu; hot tub; dog park
In a privileged position between the East Devon, Blackdown Hills and Dorset National Landscapes, Hills Farm is a pop-up site stretching across 100 acres of glorious Devon countryside, a five-minute drive from Axminster. You might think that putting you within easy access of those three protected areas in the South West would be Hills Farm’s best selling point, but you’d be mistaken. This site goes one step further by sitting high on a hill, giving its guests far-reaching views over the Axe valley and the Jurassic Coast. Simple grass pitches for motorhomes sit on a vast camping field, next to a dog park for your four-legged buddy. There's a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus afternoon teas (just remember to load up your scones the Devon way while you’re here: cream first, then jam) and a cosy bar with an outdoor patio (and plenty of seating) and a gin menu that might take repeated visits to the site to complete. After scrambling up hills or walking through woodland or along the South West Coast Path (accessed from Seaton, 15 minutes’ drive), you might want to end the day with a refreshing swim at a local beach – whether Seaton, Charmouth (15 minutes) or Lyme Regis (20 minutes) – or with a relaxing soak in the wood-fired hot tub (you'll need to book this in advance).

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked The advert.

Disliked No clear instructions as to where to find the site. We are happy with a self check in but had no information emailed to us. On arrival we found a chap who directed us to the pitch where there was an open field and tap. Walked 5 mins from there into what appears to be the hotel/wedding complex and found stable toilets and a shower. Both were really grubby and run down.
The photographs on the advert are correct but they are a 5 min walk from the pitch. The restaurant and bar were shut Monday/Tuesday but this isn’t advertised. We planned to have dinner with a nice view and were disappointed. I also can’t help but think, if a wedding were on, you’d feel uncomfortable walking through the middle of it to use facilities.
Emailed to raise a complaint and had no response. Wouldn’t recommend.

From the manager: We're sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations.

On arrival, a member of our team directed you to your pitch and also pointed out the toilet and shower facilities. Our campsite facilities are located separately from the hotel and wedding areas. All weddings take place at the top of the farm, and unless you choose to walk through the wedding gardens or into the function suite, there is no need to pass through a wedding to access the campsite facilities.

Regarding the restaurant and bar, we appreciate your comments. As a small, family-run business, we do not always have the capacity to open on quieter days, particularly Mondays and Tuesdays. We understand that this information may not currently be as clear as it could be on Pitchup, and we will review our listing to ensure guests have the correct expectations before booking.

We're also sorry to hear that you felt your complaint was not addressed. However, our terms and conditions state: *"In the event of a complaint, please speak to reception immediately. Complaints which are not brought to the management's attention during your stay cannot be dealt with once you have left the site."* As no concerns were raised with our team during your stay, we were unfortunately not given the opportunity to resolve any issues while you were on site.

We value all feedback and are continually working to improve the experience for our guests. We always recommend contacting us ahead of time to book for the restaurant.
