  • Peaceful and secluded farm site with views of Dartmoor
  • Over 30 acres of farmland with woodland walks from the site
  • Wildlife haven: spot red and roe deer, badgers and buzzards
Searching for a Devon getaway close to the beach and to Dartmoor and where the whole family is welcome? Look no longer… make tracks for Hollocombe Hideaway, a family- and dog-friendly site half an hour’s drive from the coast at Widemouth Bay and with views of Dartmoor from the grounds. The site covers over 30 acres of woodland, including woodland walks where the owners regularly spot red deer, roe deer and the resident sett of badgers. The tall trees next to the site stream are home to buzzards that frequently soar overhead. Off site, the farm’s setting down a quiet country lane five minutes from Hollacombe and Holsworthy is in rural countryside with walks along fields starting directly from the grounds. It’s 15 miles from the farm to the sands of Widemouth Bay, for sunbathing, swimming and lunches or afternoon tea at the nearby cafés as well as picnics at the secluded bays along the coast from here. Just along the bay from Widemouth is a beach where dogs are allowed all year round. The site’s also within easy reach (25 minutes’ drive) of the seaside resort of Bude, with its wide sandy beaches gently sloping to the sea. Bude beaches are lifeguarded in high season and are a popular destination for family surfing as surf schools offer lessons and kit hire. Inland, Dartmoor is half an hour’s drive away and Tavistock with its weekly markets, art galleries, museum and independent shops is within 45 minutes.

What customers say

Lovely, private spot with awesome views and super-clean facilities (especially the showers). Owners are real gems – friendly and helpful. Great for families and doggies. Most enjoyed it, just a few quibbles about grass clippings and no sieve. Definitely a winner, lots of return visitors!

Bell tent

Liked We had the best time. The accommodation was lovely and clean. The toilets and showers were a bonus - again lovely and clean. The outside eating area with the BBQ and the fire pit was perfect. My son loved the draw of goodies
Perfect for the dog.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We stayed for 3 nights with a camper van, a tent and a gazebo. We were really pleased that we could pitch together and enjoy a family group holiday. We loved everything about this site. Stunning views, clean toilets and showers. Mini play area for children, large field to walk dogs. Reminds me of camping as a child, and Natasha is an absolute legend. What a truly lovely human being. We will definitely be back.

Disliked Nothing. Can't fault a thing.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We have just came back from the pitch with very good memories. Our children loved it too, they played on the little playground with other kids and loved looking at the horses. Owners are the most polite people. The place is very clean. And the view you get is stunning. Really recommend this place we will be back again next year.

Karen W.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything!
The field was lovely with stunning views, flat pitches, clean and well kept toilets and showers.
A great addition of a small children's play set which kept the kids occupied all week.
Natasha was amazing and would go above and beyond.
The horses were beautiful and so friendly, myself and the kids enjoyed or morning cuddles with them.
It was so peaceful and relaxing ☺️
There is a small shop on site which also sells essentials that you may need during your stay (the kids loved the marshmallows).
We even lucked out with the weather and only had a couple of mornings of rain too!
We had a fantastic 11 days here and will definitely be back again!

Local attractions

If your holidays are incomplete without a beach day or two, you'll be well chuffed with this location. The site is 25 minutes’ drive from the nearest beach (Summerleaze, in Bude), and other sandy stretches at Crooklets and Sandymouth Bay are within half an hour; all three are good picks for surfing, sea fishing, swims and sandy strolls. When a break from sea, surf and (perhaps) sun is needed, stick around Bude to wander along the canal towpaths, call in at the castle – where there’s a history museum and art gallery – or have a taste tour (self guided) of the town’s many eateries. Days in urban environs aren’t limited to Bude either… There are plenty of scenic villages worth exploring up and down the coast, none more so than the privately owned, blessedly car free and most pretty cobblestoned village of Clovelly, 40 minutes from base. Nature-filled hours are a cinch hereabouts too: the site is 35 minutes from the edge of Dartmoor National Park and – for a bit more order – RHS Garden Rosemoor is within half an hour. A little stuffy for younger tastes? It’s 20 minutes’ drive to the Gnome Reserve and Wildlife Garden in West Putford.
