Great base for visiting beautiful areas of North Devon
Hallsdown Farm
The CL is positioned brilliantly to enjoy the sites of North Devon. We had expected there to be a toilet after reading the reviews; this is usually our minimum requirement; our choice. We mentioned to the owner that we’d expected a toilet and it turns out, after one bad review about it, it was removed which is a shame. The caravan site by the side of the CL does have toilets and showers. We were really surprised to be told we were not welcome to use the toilet there when it was available. We’ve used two other CL’s this year with a similar set up & it was wasn’t a problem for them at all. I do think the write-up about the site should include this information as it’s very misleading having a review mentioning a toilet. We loved having the animals around, especially Thelma & Louise the pigs! The fully serviced patch is great, the recycling and Elson point is immaculately kept and so are the CL pitches and grassed areas. I probably wouldn’t book again without a loo; personal choice, & it seems this season is particularly quiet since it’s removal.
peaceful well maintained site
Hallsdown Farm
As seen in other reviews this site is great. Fully serviced and clean. Grass short with not awful cuttings!
We had rain but the site is well drained so never got muddy. The pond has some wildlife as does the farm with goats and an alpaca sheep horses and a donkey and hidden behind the pond two small pigs, but we never smelt them. Lots to see and do in the area both inland and at the coast even if it rains!!
Our only niddle was you have to pay on top for electric. having said that we used very little as it was summer and used the gas even then when the metre was read it worked out at a little over £2.00 per day.
Would stay again if in this area but be aware of the extra cost.

Fantastic well maintained site
Hallsdown Farm
We’ve just spent a week at Hallsdown farm.
What a lovely CL. Everything was perfect and well kept. The views were amazing. So many places to see and do within a short distance.
The owner Andrew was very friendly and approachable.
We will definitely be revisiting this CL very soon.
Well Organised Great Site
Hallsdown Farm
This is an excellent CL with serviced hardstanding pitches. Everything you need, water, emptying, recycling all easily accessible and well arranged.
There is plenty of entertainment from the variety of animals especially the goats and alpaca which are kept as pets.
Wonderful views and easy access to local spots.
Those people who complain about the facilities should, perhaps, check the details of the CL more closely before booking. We all have on-board bathrooms so what more do you need? CLs traditionally only used to provide water and emptying which is all we want.

A bit of a mixed bag
Hallsdown Farm
On the positve side the pitches are level hardstanding with individual electricity water and grey water and the site is easy to access and convenient for visiting local attractions.
On the negative side there is little outlook and the pond was impossible to see unless standing next to it. The toilet facilities are extremely poor. The glazing bars of what looks like an old wooden summerhouse are falling off, the wallboard has failed and is parting company with the wooden shed with large amounts of mastic trying to fill the gaps. The toilet door- an old internal door has a large gap next to the lock and requires stuffing with toilet paper to ensure privicy and finally the toilet rolls are ends of partly used rolls which presumably have come from the other site. It was one of the worst CL toilets we have encountered.
Finally on booking we received an email advising that we needed to use green Elsan and I immediately ordered it to take with us. We paid in advance and had another email confirming receipt of the money and advising us again we needed green Elsan. We arrived and hadn't even unhitched when someone ran across the field to 'welcome' us reminding us we needed to use green Elsan. I can only think there is a problem with the septic tank as we didn't need to be reminded three times.
