The Orchard at Fairlinch

Tyckte om Lots of space, clean bathroom/shower. Free fruits (apples and figs). Richard is very welcoming.

Tyckte inte om indications on how to get to the campsite.

Tyckte om Peace and tranquility, views, electric hook ups, welcoming hosts. Clean amenities.

Tyckte inte om Only 2 toilets and 2 showers. There was only a couple of other tents there during our stay but if the site was busy, one can imagine queues forming!

Tyckte om Sad to be leaving this beautiful quiet place. Very peaceful with only the occasional sheep bleat.Lovely to camp in the orchard where I was met by a dragonfly with copper wings. We saw bats and rabbits too there. Under super starry skies we slept like babies and our tortoise enjoyed himself too. Wonderful beaches, swimming and surf at Saunton and Croyde. The rock pools were like underwater forests and it was fun to explore the magical rock formations when the sea retreated.
Outstanding food at the Williams Arms. We had a beautifully wild coastal walk at capstone hill in Ilfracombe Our camping hosts were kind, friendly and helpful and we look forward to returning soon.

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

Tyckte inte om 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!

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte inte om 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.

Tyckte om 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.
