Electric grass pitch
Liked: Quiet countryside site. Beautiful views. Great place to relax. Friendly welcome from owner. Really large pitches, with water taps adjacent to every pitch and 16amp electric (not just 5 amp) Ground accepted a peg nicely but also held them firmly. No rocks or loose sand! Grass cut short and well-maintained site. Hedges around the field with natural border, giving good shelter from most of the coastal winds. Good mobile signal on O2 network. Lovely clean toilets and showers with loads of hot water. Useful utility room with freezer, Dog-friendly but not over-run with dogs! (Separate exercise area)
Disliked: Important to be clear that we really enjoyed our time at Ashcroft Farm and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if travelling to the same area, but I also believe it’s important to be honest in reviews about things that might make the stay less perfect for others or where the owners can improve… There is only 1 toilet and 1 shower(which includes a toilet) for females and the same again for males. This did mean occasionally having to wait for the facilities… we didn’t find this a problem but it might have been different if we’d had younger children who couldn’t always wait for the toilet…. The showers are push-button with pre-mixed water (no temperature control). Often campsite showers are a bit cold, but we found these a bit too warm… owners could reduce their energy bills by turning the dial down a little! The approach is via narrow country lanes, so take it steady and don’t be surprised if you need to reverse occasionally!

Liked: Loved the whole site - even in bad weather! A very warm welcome from the lady that owns and runs the site. We had a lovely pitch near to the toilets/showers/washing area which were all kept clean with plenty of hot water. It’s a small site but huge pitches and because of its size, the amount of showers was never a problem. Great dog walking field for our two Springer Spaniels. We loved that we could make a garden for our dogs although next year, we will hopefully be able to sit out more and will have them on a spike. You camp around the outside of a huge field so ideal if you have children too as plenty of space to burn off energy or ride a bike. The perfect base for exploring North Devon and not too far from the Cornwall border. Westward Ho is a short drive away and one of my favourite places to visit. On a nice day, you’ll see the best sunset from here. Northam Burrows beach which leads on from Westward Ho is so dog friendly. £6 daily for cars but you can pay for the week and it works out much cheaper. It is free after a certain time (late afternoon). Bring your chairs and a windbreaker and just enjoy the views. Supermarkets a short drive away. The perfect site for us and we won’t bother looking elsewhere again when visiting Devon, but will go directly to them. If you want rowdy then this isn’t the place for you. If you want to relax and switch off for a few days then this site is perfect.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.
