Welcombe X

A aimé : Every now and again, you come across and absolute gem of a site, Welcombe X is just such a place. Each to their own and chances are it's not everyone's cup of tea but this site suits us perfectly. The old adage of "We'd sooner not tell and keep it to ourselves" applies here but they really do deserve to be praised. It's a small, unassuming site with little on there, certainly not for the kids but if, like us you're capable of making your own entertainment and looking for a quiet site that is really just a base from which to travel out for the day like us, it's pretty much perfect.
The owner of the site "Ratty" as she's affectionally known and her mum, Mary (down to help out) couldn't have been better hosts. On one night we had 40-50 mph winds and asked if we could park our car on the empty pitch by our tent to help shield the tent from the wind. Not only did they oblige but Ratty and Mary also brought their cars around to help aide in the process too. Definitely above and beyond I'd say.
The facilities were kept absolutely spotless throughout our stay and the showers are electric showers as you'd have at home, so no pushing the button every 30 seconds to keep the water running. There is a 20 minute limit they ask you to abide by which is more than generous in our opinion.
Our kids particularly enjoyed doing the recycling on the site (especially the can crusher!) which is well set out and there's Bob's Bar. Not officially a pub but a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks of an evening.
Pretty much on the border of both Devon and Cornwall it's ideally situated for travelling around the beautiful countryside of the area and very handy for Bude, Bideford etc.
There's also Wi-Fi on site, we didn't use it as we're fortunate enough to have good data contracts but it's there if you need it.

A aimé : Central location. Roomy pitch.

N'a pas aimé: Time allocated showers. Spoilt the relaxed feeling of a holiday.
Very small shower in the first shower block. If you dropped the soap, you'd be doomed!
Very close to A39, so traffic noise.

A aimé : Size of pitch and being allocated pitch next to friend. Clean facilities. Helpful owner. Larger shower rooms at top of site rather than small plastic cubicle first discovered.

N'a pas aimé: Proximity of busy, noisy, main road which was also only exit; only 2 toilets for site; found out the hard way that post code not near site.
