  • Small but spacious site overlooking the Devon coast
  • A 10-minute walk from a local bus service to Exeter and Bournemouth
  • Exmoor ponies, sheep, chicken and ducks on site
The clue is in the name – a holiday at Coombe View Farm will guarantee some of the nicest sea and countryside views east Devon has to offer. Oh, and it just so happens to be a farm too so there really is plenty to entice anyone here to pay a visit. This small but spacious site overlooks the Devonshire coast and is the perfect spot to get your fill of sea air and seriously special scenery. It has level ground and custom-made pathways for driving around, along with oodles of green grass so kids can run about and play safely. It may be rural, but you can still take advantage of the local bus service which runs between Exeter and Bournemouth (hop aboard at the stop around a 10-minute walk along the lane). The campsite has no bar, no clubhouse, nor nightly entertainment, but with campfires allowed and a haven of wildlife on your doorstep (along with the handy amenities block with loos and showers, a washing-up area and disabled facilities), this is good old quiet camping in a beautiful natural setting which makes for a truly relaxing retreat. Bring on the marshmallows... Exmoor ponies, a small flock of sheep, geese and an array of chickens on site are waiting for a visit from guests. Grab your binoculars because the hedgerows and fields surrounding the site also make a convenient home for an array of winged types for you to get your beak spotting too. Wifi is available on the farm but not guaranteed because it is in a rural location without fibre.

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked The site owner was welcoming and showed me various pitches we could use, especially ones with a nice view. The facilities are a perfectly functional wooden block containing three showers and three loos and a larger family/baby change/accessible room. They opened up more loos as the site filled up towards the weekend but I don't think there's any more showers. The showers are proper electric showers, no constantly pushing a button!

Disliked Nothing really, but worth noting it's only 6 amp electricity and everywhere has a slight slope so if you're in a motorhome as we were ramps are needed.
Also worth noting that it's a hilly area with narrow roads and a long way to the bus stops if you're in a motorhome and like to leave it sited and explore on foot. Not a problem for us but maybe for some. WiFi is weak the further you are from the office IE the pitches with the best views. There's no play area for children I don't think

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your nice review.
The electric hook ups are 6amp and will cope with electrical camping equipment.
Our site is slightly sloped but motorhome pitches are reasonably flat. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about hilly areas and narrow roads but that is charm of the area!
The bus stop did use to be just down the road however unfortunately the bus compony moved it slightly further away, which is out out of our control.
We are looking at expanding the WiFi signal up the sight in the future.

Very steep hill. Will definitely keep you fit .

Liked View amazing!

Disliked The facilities were very basic in a shed with a tin roof!
The electricity was cutting out randomly.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. It is stated on our website that our facilities are basic, these facilities are cleaned once a day, when the site is busy this is increased to twice or more a day. It is also stated in our details it is a 6amp electricity supply which means it will trip when using anything other than camping equipment. A member of staff would have been able to assist regarding the electric tripping if spoken to.

Liked Peace and quiet, fires and Barbys, we were met by Lyndsey on arrival , who came over with a big smile welcomed us and showed us around the static had to call on her once in our 2 weeks (pilot had blown out on boiler) fixed straight away and no more problems...Met the owner Trevor who seemed to be a gentleman to me told me if I needed anything to ask, then added if you don't ask you don't get as he drove off cackling to himself, he's up and down the field a couple of times a day didn't bother me it's his field. All in all we loved our relaxing stay at coombe view and will return again when we head that way again.

Disliked Water pressure a little low at busy times

Route directions

Satnavs do not always bring guests to the correct location. If you start to travel downhill, that's the incorrect way. Do not turn down Locksey's Lane. Take the next turning, which is adjacent to it. When you turn off the A3052, please stay on the lane and do not turn off. Coombe View Farm is less than one mile from the A3052 on the right-hand side and there are signs in the lane.

Local attractions

Branch out to the village of Branscombe with its pretty beach, just one and half miles from the campsite. Thatched cottages, a working Norman forge and Saint Winifred church make a day out in Branscombe a mightily interesting one. If you’re after a trusty ale or a plentiful helping of hearty pub grub after a day meandering through the scenic village and brushing up on your Devonshire history, then good news - Branscome is sandwiched between two pubs serving the like. The well-looked after Jurassic Coast shingle beach has rockpools for kids to dive into exploring. With fishing trips available, a picnic area and a café serving ice creams on the beachfront too, all in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, everyone’s sure to have a splashing time… Step out on a coastal walk along the footpaths from Branscombe to the fishing village at Beer, just two miles away and with fresh fish available to buy on the sheltered beach to take back for the campfire too. There’s a unmissable all-day brekkie to be had at one of the village’s popular cafés, perfect for prepping you for a guided tour around this history-rich smuggling haven. Can’t decide where to start? Choo-choose a trip to the model railway attraction, Pecorama, to keep the kids entertained with gardens, games and train rides. For a more demanding stroll, around seven miles westward you’ll reach the resort of Sidmouth. If you can drag yourself from a deckchair on the pebbly beach, take a peek at the town’s church with its stained-glass window donated by Queen Victoria herself - it’s a royally pretty sight. While you’re up, climb the 500-foot Peak Hill to enjoy a panorama of the area too - one won’t be disappointed with the view. Music lovers - take a trip in August to have yourselves a merry time at the town’s folk festival. You’re never short of a coastline to explore around here: other seaside towns close by include Seaton (an hour’s walk or 10-minute car journey), home to the Axe Yacht Club. Hop aboard the tram here to take in the views of the estuary - twitchers, don’t forget your binos. Exeter is also just 45 minutes by car to the east. The popular university and cathedral city is home to shopping and dining galore, as well as indoor climbing and bowling centres (perfect for rainy days) and a street food market, cycling and canoeing opportunities (for the sunnier ones). A trip to these parts wouldn’t be complete without a scoop (or few) of Devonshire clotted cream dolloped on a fruit-strewn scone, and with the choice of restaurants and eateries in Exeter, you’re sure to be able to trial and test some of the best.
