Our 1st time camping so nothing to compare but great little site. We pitched up in D3 for the views but we chose the windiest week of the year so in hindsight probably not the most ideal spot, go down in the valley if wind is forecast! Lesson learned. We only used the shower block opposite the goats/sheep - clean, always one available (we was the last week of opening) & plenty of hot water. Hairdryers available to use, hand soap for the sinks & toilet paper in each cubicle. We rented a fire pit which was interesting in gale force winds but we had promised a toddler toasted marshmallows!
On site they had a play park (for older children) and then a small area with a few toddler play pieces in. There was an open fronted area with mini pool table & a couple of football tables.
Broadsands is down 200 or so fairly treacherous steps so we didn’t risk it with our 3 year old. It unfortunately didn’t look like the photos online as it was a pretty miserable day (of course not campsites’ fault :) - but still a worth a little explore without small children I’d say. Not really a ‘pack the bucket & spade’ type beach. Combe Martin beach 4min drive away is great for exactly this! Visited twice - once in the rain & once in glorious sun. Excellent walks around some caves and rock pools, fun exploring for fish & crabs for little ones.
We cooked 2 nights & went to Sawmills pub (5min walk through the site) for 2 nights. Lovely pub, would be great to sit outside in the summer, cute deck. Huge portions! Delicious food.
We walked to Watermouth Harbour (small) in about 20mins (with toddler legs in tow), cute tea room there where we got some brownies to go. Went over to Watermouth Castle for the afternoon - great fun for little ones (I’d say older than 5/6 they’d be bored).
