  • Small and friendly family-run farm between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe
  • Direct access to bridle path linking miles of public footpaths
  • Play area, free hot showers and family shower room
A small, friendly, family-run site and cracking sea/countryside views are among the features of Sunnymead Farm on the north Devon coast: it's between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe too so you can have sand among your toes or be fishing from the harbour within about 10 minutes. Combe Martin and Exmoor beyond it are about 15-20 minutes away. The Sunnymead owners have set the pitch prices to what they feel is reasonable for the area and the location; they've laid pitches out around the edge of two fields, giving each plenty of space and leaving the centre of each field free for play. Sunnymead Farm has a play area, free hot showers, a family shower room and recycling facilities. Reception sells hot and cold drinks, snacks and basic provisions. Going off site, the farm has direct access to a bridle path that links to miles of public footpaths (it can get mucky, so bring your wellies), and is on a public bus route with services that will stop on request at the site entrance. Tourist info and details on local attractions are available on site.

What customers say

This friendly, family-run site has clean, well-kept facilities like hot showers and a good dishwashing area. Owners are consistently praised for being helpful and knowledgeable about the area. It's a great base for Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, offering sea and country views. Generally peaceful, but some note occasional road noise. Kids love the play area. Shower rooms can be chilly.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Clean toilets showers and showers, even though theres a road, its not too noisy. Not a big site so fairly peaceful.

Spotlessly clean, nice to have recycling bins not just one bin for everything.

Amazing links to footpaths out the back of the campsite, approx 1 hour walk to Lee, moderately hard. (Back up hill all the way)

Approx 10 min drive to either to Woolacombe or Ilfracombe. Approx 30 min to Barnstaple.

Great having a couple of chilled horses in a paddock next to our tent (they like carrots)

Sarah was lovely and couldn't do enough.

Would definitely recommend.

Liked Outstanding camp site, big enough to provide the facilities you need but small enough to allow our kids 5&6 to play at the park on their own.

Toilets are clean and tidy, facilities exactly as you want and a great location.

Local attractions

The surfing of Woolacombe and the Victorian town of Ilfracombe are both three miles from Sunnymead Farm, as are the famed Tunnels Beaches, the hand-carved tunnels leading to sheltered coves and a Victorian bathing pool (you can get married at the Tunnels these days, so drop a holiday hint if you think that'd be your thing). Combe Martin Dinosaur Park should whet the appetite for your next south-west England trip (to the Jurassic Coast) and as it's the 'gateway to Exmoor', all sorts of outdoorsy activities lie just ahead. Award-winning conservation centre Exmoor Zoo has over 200 species of animals, birds and reptiles. Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle just outside Ilfracombe has a labyrinth, rides and play areas in a rather splendid setting overlooking Watermouth Cove; buy a return ticket to come back again for a tiny price throughout the season. And if you're feeling active, the amount of things you could get busy at in Devon are too many to list, but could include surfing, horse riding, swimming, tennis, golf, quad biking, ten-pin bowling and cycling (the Route 27 cycle trail is close by).
