Great base to explore North Devon

Just had another wonderful long stay at Collacott Farm which is our favourite CL site. We have been coming here for years. Situated on the hill above Fremington there are views of the Taw estuary and big, sometimes starry night skies from the site. For between 10 and 40 minutes of driving you can access loads of gorgeous, mainly dog friendly sandy beaches - Instow, Westward Ho, Northam Burrows, Crow Point, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Woollacombe and Putsborough. The South West Coast path provides spectacular cliff top walks at Morte Point, the valley of the rocks above Lynton, Baggy Point and Hartland Quay. The Tarka Trail is great for biking. There are lots of interesting towns and villages nearby - Barnstaple, Bideford (the art gallery is really nice), Appledore, Clovelly and Combe Martin. There is just loads to see and do. The owners, Ian and Linda, are really friendly and helpful and although the site is basic it is well organised and follows Covid measures carefully. The entrance to the site angles off the main drive so you need to follow Ian’s instructions and approach it carefully and slowly on your first attempt (but we now get round it in one with our estate car and lunar clubman so it is doable once you know how to tackle it). If you want to explore North Devon you couldn’t pick a better location and we can highly recommend the Hocking’s ice cream.
