  • Small, multi-award-winning and peaceful site in a secluded valley
  • Putsborough beach and Croyde village centre both 15 minutes' walk
  • Immaculate amenities; campfires allowed; pubs within walking distance
If you haven't been to the beach at Woolacombe yet… why ever not? These stunning and award-winning sands have been hailed as the best in all of Britain and among the top in Europe (sometimes even on the entire planet): you'll see why the second you get there… Glimpses of this spectacular stretch of sand can be had from Combas Farm, a family-run site in a secluded valley within sauntering distance of Croyde village. Guests have been returning here for years for the spectacular and handy north Devon setting, as well the warm vibe that owners Gwen and Sally and their team have created: the words 'friendly' and 'helpful' crop up time and again in guests' reviews. Most folk also mightily appreciate the spotlessly kept and modern amenities on the farm too, set in a converted barn and including powerful hot showers, immaculate toilets, a washing-up area and sockets for gadget charging. Camping is in four fields – one with those stunning views over Woolacombe Bay and the others closer to the swish facilities. A half-mile trot along a farm track leads to the shops and pubs of Croyde village; the site is also about a 15-minute stroll from Putsborough beach. Firepits and barbecues are allowed: pick up all you could need for either of these in Braunton, 15 minutes' drive away. Several pubs and restaurants are also within walking distance.

Ashleen W. 1 review

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely campsite, good clean facilities and reasonably priced. Owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Easy walk to Croyde down the lane.

Disliked The orchard is on a hill but you are camping in Devon so most sites are on hills.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review Ashleen, hopefully you will visit us again in the future.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The facilities were very clean and we did not have to wait at any point, the pitches were spacious and well kept. The staff were helpful and the site overall had a great atmosphere and was peaceful. The location is great with a 10 min walk into croyde for the beach and pubs one way and a 10 min walk to Putsborough beach the other way.

We had an amazing stay here and would highly recommend this site and will be retuning on our next visit to North Devon.

Liked This was our first time staying at the farm and would definitely like to stay again.
The place is very relaxed and friendly and the facilities are excellent and well maintained.
We enjoyed the fact that there were fridges we could use and felt comfortable leaving our items in (wine, beer, food etc)
Great short walk down a pathway into Croyde too.
Weather was fantastic too which helped
Thank you

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Stayed three nights at Combas farm. Very warm welcome and a great campsite. We camped in the field next to the farm so were very close to the excellent facilities.
Campsite is in a beautiful rural setting and is 10 minutes walk from Croyde village.
Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend and would certainly stay again.

Local attractions

The nearest beach is Putsborough Sands, at one end of Woolacombe Bay. It's generally a quieter spot than the rest of Woolacombe beach and is just one of the north Devon surfing destinations near the farm. Surf's also up at Saunton Sands, 20 minutes' drive from the farm, and at Croyde and Westward Ho! as well as the main Devon surf spots of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The spectacular South West Coast Path is also a must if you're anywhere around the shoreline of England's south west: join it at Croyde for the five-mile stretch to Woolacombe past the National Trust's fably-named Baggy Point, or hike a hefty 15 miles to go further south on the route from Woolacombe to Braunton. Another scenic option for walking – and cycling – is the Tarka Trail, the looping paths following the route of Henry Williamson's fictional otter. This one's accessible from Woolacombe too, but the most popular part is probably the car-free 31 miles between Meeth and Braunton: drop into the Museum of British Surfing at Braunton for the story of south-west surf if you have energy afterwards. More walks? Exmoor National Park is within 40 minutes' drive.
