Likte Great view, decent facilities.
There is a gradual slope on most of the pitch but there are enough spaces to get a good spot.
It's probably just me but I wasn't sure where to go to check in based on the instructions but it turned out to be the main house before the campsite.

Likte Gives the impression of bare basic camp but actually has a lot of amenities tucked away toward the bottom of the hil. There was a community hut with a table, chairs, some items to borrow like a firepit or wind breaker (wish I'd spotted that sooner!), fridge freezer; a porta cabin with 2 showers, sinks, toilets; and an outside wash station. All with hot water. All cleaned regularly. We didn't check the wifi, but mobile coverage was very good.

If you wanted, a bucket of wood, tinder, and kindling it can be bought from the farmer, who will drop it off at your pitch and make sure you have everything you need.

The view is indeed spectacular, and you have plenty of room between pitches. Even if you were close enough, the wind would drown out most other noise. You are indeed exposed! Bring some warm clothes, even if you plan to sit round the fire. But don't overload the fire pit if gusty, or you will be chasing a tumbling fire log as we saw happen on another pitch!

We only stayed the night, but my 6 yo boy was enamoured with the place, and was excited to show me how to roast marshmallows for smores. The huge open field, the view of Combe Martin at the bottom of the valley and sea is beautiful. There seemed to be a few trails to explore, and you are only 15 minutes from Watermouth Castle.

Likte ikke Nothing to dislike, we stayed during heavy rain spells with 20mph winds gusting to 32mph and it was still a lovely place to revisit!

Just check the weather, prepare for wind. Jet stove recommended if you're not using windbreak, a firepit, or getting takeout.

Likte Vue magnifique sur la baie, au calme, sanitaires propres avec eau chaude, petit espace pratique pour prendre un café à l'abri en cas de mauvais temps avec frigo de courtoisie. On recommande à 100%

Likte What a view Girt down offers. Its a beautiful farm and the owners are really friendly.

Likte ikke Could do with more showers. I can imagine on really busy times the queue would last ages.
and a few pot holes in the lane could do with filling in.

But again these are small issues for the lovely site

Likte Great campsite. Would recommend having more toilets at the top of the field as it’s a long walk down to the bottom. There is one porta loo in the middle of the field but this was full on our last day, so could not use this.
