Could be Better
Hillcrest Farm
Elizabeth welcomed us with a printout of rules and strict instructions about where to leave the rubbish etc.
Our pitch had mains water, electricity but no grey water drain.
The mobile signal is not great and there is NO WIFI.
The Country view is nice with Wind Generators in the distance.
The grass cuttings meant that grass is often brought into the Caravan.
Overall I would say stay here, but take into account that it not as modern as some CL's.
It is also a working Farm where Sheep can attract flies!

Friendly quiet location
Hillcrest Farm
We had a very good welcome from Elizabeth. This is a good basic site with toilet and Shower. It is extremely spacious which means you need to be near the toilet/shower/bins at one end or the grey/toilet waste at the other. Being on pitch 3 we were in the middle.
The lane at the back of the pitches is hardly used, you may hear an occasional tractor. Coming out of the lane is a challenge as visibility isn't great, but a bit of common sense will see you good. Use the recommended route and don't follow the satnav, although we would approach on A399 if coming from the north.
Grass is cut although not collected, we have brought back half a lawn.
Best of all my concern was a notice in the toilet which suggested that you may need pulling out, daunting for what was a dreadful week of weather, however, the grass did not rip up.
I would certainly recommend the site to others - our 8 days in the height of summer and it never had the full 5 vans - so definitely quiet.
Nice site, room for improvement facilities wise
Hillcrest Farm
This was a nice site located in a great part of North Devon with easy access to beaches and countryside (do follow directions from site owner rather than sat nav). Pitches are wide and well spaced and back on to a really quiet lane so a very peaceful stay. Toilet & shower were in farm building a short walk from pitch, facilities were only just adequate and could be improved with more frequent cleaning/attention. Quite a lot of rules & regulations to follow.

Scenic and central
Hillcrest Farm
Just spent six nights with Elizabeth and Robin on their well-managed farm and CL. Pitches are wide enough to maintain privacy and close enough to be neighbourly. Elizabeth was very welcoming and concerned that you knew where everything was and that you had sufficient information to enjoy your stay.
Centery Lane benefits from 360 far views and Exmoor is a short drive (or long one, depending on where you want to visit) with all of the north Devon coastal resort towns within an easy drive.
We had lovely weather and a lovely time on this lovely working farm. Looking forward to returning in the future.
Complete Relaxation. Brilliant!
Hillcrest Farm
A superb and well sited working farm cl site. The owner, Elizabeth and son Robin made us very welcome on arrival and was instrumental on making our 7 night stay very enjoyable - that is apart from the sheep - who kept us entertained in one way or another throughout the week! The shower and toilets are kept in an immaculate, clean condition and all pitches have EHU and drinking water taps close by. We will be back very soon to enjoy the farm, family and lovely quiet surroundings. And don’t forget - the site is close to lots of superb locations around North Devon. Enjoy!!
