Liked: Just Wow !!!! What a beautiful site!!! Very clean and picturesque site. Had great sized pitches, that were nicely separated. The top of the site overlooks the sea which had stunning views over the bays. The toilet’s and shower rooms were very clean and there were 3 blocks. The shop was pretty good too, selling local burgers and sausages for BBQ’s etc. Great Launderette and dish washing facilities. Staff very friendly and helpful. A walk to a Pub through the site. A great little bar which had Pizza and curry night. Owning a dog there was an absolute pleasure with the fantastic dog field at the top which was massive!! Over looking the sea and the bays and the site had its own beach further down the coastal path. The steps were quite steep ….. so don’t carry too much !!!! All in all couldn’t recommend enough this site an absolute 5 star site at very desirable prices compared to others.
Disliked: Nothing !!!!

Allocated primitive grass tent or campervan campsite (sea view)
Liked: Our 1st time camping so nothing to compare but great little site. We pitched up in D3 for the views but we chose the windiest week of the year so in hindsight probably not the most ideal spot, go down in the valley if wind is forecast! Lesson learned. We only used the shower block opposite the goats/sheep - clean, always one available (we was the last week of opening) & plenty of hot water. Hairdryers available to use, hand soap for the sinks & toilet paper in each cubicle. We rented a fire pit which was interesting in gale force winds but we had promised a toddler toasted marshmallows! On site they had a play park (for older children) and then a small area with a few toddler play pieces in. There was an open fronted area with mini pool table & a couple of football tables. Broadsands is down 200 or so fairly treacherous steps so we didn’t risk it with our 3 year old. It unfortunately didn’t look like the photos online as it was a pretty miserable day (of course not campsites’ fault :) - but still a worth a little explore without small children I’d say. Not really a ‘pack the bucket & spade’ type beach. Combe Martin beach 4min drive away is great for exactly this! Visited twice - once in the rain & once in glorious sun. Excellent walks around some caves and rock pools, fun exploring for fish & crabs for little ones. We cooked 2 nights & went to Sawmills pub (5min walk through the site) for 2 nights. Lovely pub, would be great to sit outside in the summer, cute deck. Huge portions! Delicious food. We walked to Watermouth Harbour (small) in about 20mins (with toddler legs in tow), cute tea room there where we got some brownies to go. Went over to Watermouth Castle for the afternoon - great fun for little ones (I’d say older than 5/6 they’d be bored).
Disliked: The day before we were due to arrive they changed their website to say the on site food & bar were to be closed the week we were there. I only knew this because I wanted to remind myself of the themed nights. This didn’t really affect our stay, but I was disappointed as the menus looked delicious and was excited to try. I get that it probably doesn’t make sense to open them if super quiet.

Liked: Efficient book in. Very clean and tidy site. Friendly staff. Bus stop right outside plus a friendly pub right next to site. We stayed on their last week of opening. We noticed that they had catered with games tables etc for the younger members. Shop was well stocked as well. They also have a bar which is open on a Friday and a Saturday.
Disliked: Knew the site was not on level ground but even with our ramps we were still not level. We managed, WIFI not brilliant.
