What customers say
Top campsite! Super clean, modern facilities (showers with music!). Spacious pitches, amazing sea views. Owners, especially Bridget, are lovely. Great for coast exploring. A few minor gripes (charging ports, narrow lanes) but mostly brilliant. Can't wait to go back.

Liked Oh my goodness, where do we start! Our new favourite place to be. This site is fabulous! Right from easy booking to departure was superb. Bridget is an absolute treasure, she made us so very welcome, always smiling and chatty, lovely lady. Her lovely hubby works hard too keeping the site clean and maintained. The sea views from Atlantic View non electric field are breathtaking. Grass is kept at a sensible length with loads of choice to pitch so as you're not on top of eachother. The facilities are the best we've ever come across on a campsite, everything works as it should and are super clean. There's a lovely lady who I spoke to that's always cleaning. You really cannot fault it. The kitchen wash up area and freezers are modern and clean as are the bathrooms. Theres even individual bathrooms with hairdryers in each one. You can plug your phone in to charge while you have a shower. There's also a kettle and microwave for a ping meal if you're feeling lazy and don't want to cook, like we did! Various food wagons that come to site, we had the jacket spuds which were a really good value and quality. The whole site is immaculate, it is a well run holiday park. We really cannot recommend Westcott Farm enough. Nice little shop in reception too for essentials. Westward Ho beach is literally on the doorstep by car as well as Bucks Mills beach which is great to explore, it's a steep walk back up though! We can't wait to book again next year, we've all said it feels like home and even to sit by the tent and do absolutely nothing was so relaxing. No-one playing loud music or shrieking, this is a really peaceful site. To Bridget and family, we send our heartfelt thanks for such a wonderful holiday. This was just the tonic we needed. We will be sure to recommend your site and will be back next year. All our thanks and love xxx
Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike! We really did not want to come home. I think you can access WiFi, but we didn't need to! Who needs tech when you have these views!

Great campsite for families who enjoy camping
Unpowered grass site
Liked We had a great stay at Westacott Farm camping - we found it easily from the main road and on arrival saw our names on the board welcoming us to the campsite. We could choose our own pitch which was nice - almost too much space to choose from! We settled on the Atlantic View field, giving us amazing views of the ocean and huge space for the children to play, knowing it was a little further from the facilities wasn’t a problem for us. The owners were friendly and extremely helpful giving us advice on local areas and activities. We were particularly impressed with the washing up facilities, always available, under cover and clean. The toilet and shower facilities were also excellent, very clean and tidy and well looked after. There were signs saying these could be busy during peak times however we found there was always one available when required. The campsite seemed to be busy with lots of families however there was always access to facilities and lots of space for us, we didn’t feel crowded at all and the fields were very quiet and peaceful. Lovely stay in a beautiful part of the country - thank you!
Disliked Nothing about the campsite! The weather was windier than we anticipated but think we were perhaps naive about the wind being so close to the sea, just something to be aware of! 😊

From the manager: Thank you Michael for your lovely review and I'm so pleased you had a lovely time with us. Unfortunately when you have a lovely view close to the sea the wind sneaks in too!
We look forward to seeing you another time.

Liked Lovely site. Well signed and easy to find. A friendly welcome on arrival.
Seemed to be a busy site. But didn’t feel cramped and didn’t need to wait for toilets or showers.
Play area with swings slide and even football posts! A handy little shop and a washing up room with plenty of freezer space.
We loved the site and the lovely views and walks. The location was perfect for us. We will definitely book again.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Showers and toilets were really modern and kept very clean. The fields were spacious and didn’t feel like we were all camping on top of each other. Reception was lovely, little shop and Bridget was so friendly and welcoming. Really close to local supermarkets and decent dog friendly beaches. Wasn’t aware there was WiFi hence 1 star rating as we didn’t use it so no idea if it was good
