Swell Camping at The Orchard

Понравилось Great location with sea view in between Braunton and Saunton. Toilet and (hot)shower facilities were excellent. Tea tent very welcome.

Не понравилось The beds were pretty uncomfortable.

Понравилось Quiet site with clean facilities and a beautiful view. Tents set up between trees in the orchard added some privacy.

Не понравилось The single camp beds in the bell tent were not really suitable for adults. General farm noise was fine, even the dogs barking, but not the man shouting at the dogs at 6.30am!

Понравилось The site is really close to 4 or 5 incredible beaches. It’s a very clean, tidy and pretty place with stunning views over the fields all the way to the sea.

Toilets and showers were spotless. The tent was also spotless and set up really well with an extension lead, lamp, lots of mats and a nice outdoor seating area. Loads of room to chill out inside and outside your tent as well as in the tea & coffee tent (genius idea!)

Loads of apple trees in the orchard with beautifully sweet apples.

It’s the kind of place you want to tell everyone about, but also keep secret! Fantastic value for money.

Понравилось We had such a fantastic time camping. Elly’s communication prior to our arrival was brilliant and extremely helpful. The bell tent was very clean, tidy, spacious and welcoming. We had our 2 collies with us who had plenty of floor space to have their beds on. We had a friendly welcome from the farmer on our arrival. The coffee and tea bell tent was awesome, which also housed a small fridge, with a little freezer compartment at the top to allow us to put a few things in and re freeze our ice blocks. It was also a lovely space to chat to other people camping. The toilets and showers were very clean and worked perfectly . The washing up area was great. The Orchard was in a beautiful setting and the views were spectacular, with a footpath next to it where you could go for a nice walk away from the road. Saunton Sands beach was 10 minutes away by car and they allowed dogs all year round on the beach which is one of the reasons why we booked in this location. Putsborough Sands was another beach we went to which was our favourite. There were some restriction's of where dogs could go but it was a massive beach and didn’t have any negative impact on our day.

Не понравилось A very small thing that we would say was a bit tricky and that was walking down the bank from the tent to our van. There wasn’t really anywhere definite to put your feet so at times it was a bit awkward.
The other thing is that a gas powered crow scarer was going off in the distance, this would start quite early in the morning and stop at dusk, but would be doing its job and going off I imagine every time birds were detected, so a lot. It didn’t bother us personally, however, we have a dog who is petrified of fireworks and therefore was a bit of wreck for most of the time, it hadn’t occurred to me that this would be a problem and I could have brought his medication had I known. This is completely a personal thing and probably wouldn’t affect many, but a nice to know to be prepared.

Понравилось lovely campsite, in a beautiful location. so spacious with only having 3 bell tents. Having a communal tent is great with cooking facilities. We had a famtastic time.

Не понравилось fantastic weekend ,but there was a couple of issues. Could have done with soild steps up the bank in front of tent, as my partner fell over a couple of times. Wasn't keen on quad bike been riden through site from farm as our kids and dog were running about

Понравилось We had an amazing time, thank you for that! The location is great, the scenery is to die for, and there is lots of space for kids to explore and have fun in the orchard. The tent was big enough to accommodate everyone, including our dog. The beds are comfy, the facilities clean and the kitchen tent is a bonus. For us, 10 out of 10! ;)

Понравилось Loved everything about this campsite. The bell tents are wonderful & spacious, the view over looking the orchard & beyond is beautiful.

The kitchen tent is very well appointed & had everything we needed. We enjoyed using the BBQ’s & munching the apples from the orchard!

The shower & loos were clean, with plenty of hot water for everyone.

The location is perfect, very close to great beaches. From booking to arriving, Elly’s communication was excellent. She went above & beyond for us.

Не понравилось Nothing

Понравилось We had a fabulous time at Swell camping, staying in the bell tents.There was ample room for four single beds, plus small tables and lights. It was very comfortable. The kitchen tent was well-stocked and had a fridge, as well as being a nice social area. Showers were hot and facilities good. It is a beautiful and peaceful spot, with incredible views, next to an orchard with both eating and cooking apples. It is just a few minutes drive from the glorious stretch of sand and beach and Saunton, fantastic for bodyboarding and surfing, as well as easy access to Croyde, Woolacombe, Putsborough. Elly was very attentive to all our needs. Would definitely recommend.

Понравилось Beautiful location & stunning views across to Saunton Sands. Tents were nicely setup & very comfortable. No condensation or feeling of dampness in the mornings, even after one night of torrential rain. It was great to have use of the kettle, toaster & fridge in the communal tent too. The owner Elly is very friendly & helpful. We would certainly book again and also recommend Swell camping to others!

Не понравилось The steps to the tent we had could use an additional step towards the bottom of the little grassy bank and/or the hand rail moving closer to the steps. My friend & I are both of an age where we needed the toilet a few times in the night and the morning dew and especially the torrential rain we had one night made the grass very slippy in the early hours.

Понравилось Scenery & location were lovely.
Shower was great.

Не понравилось Access track is very poor.
Advertised access to refrigerated storage, we packed a lot of food which went off as there is one small cooler box in a shared tent, that had no ice. Weather was hot so it spoilt.
