Lovely quiet site

Stayed here for 5 nights in June, nice sheltered site down a narrow road (we didn't meet anyone coming or going though). Parked up on the field side as this retained the sun more than the hedge side. Slightly sloping pitch, but borrowed some of Alison's blocks and we were fine. Easy access to the main road and bus routes. You can walk to Lyme Regis via the Viaduct and get the bus back, but we cycled both ways (electric bikes) as there are a few hills, especially down to the harbour in Lyme! Had a lovely day out on the Colyton-Seaton tram. Parked at Colyton station in the free railway carpark. Nice looking cafe here as many people were having breakfast as we caught the train. We bought the all day ticket and hopped on and off at all the stops to have a look around which was fun. Had some lovely fresh fish (Dab and mackerel) at Coast (orange umbrellas on the front at Seaton). BEWARE of the seaguls along this coast, as they were constantly swopping down and stealing your food and icecreams. To be honest it was a bit scary so we ate inside.We went to a local performance (Sharon Davies sycronised swimming) in Colyton Town Hall advertised locally so watch out for these as it was great and we even had food and drink supplied in the interval. There is an historic walk around Colyton every Thursday at 2pm (£7) and the local butchers is here as well. We visited Hugh's River Cottage but was unfortunately full and was too wet to sit outside, and Axminster Town Trail looked interesting but again was a bit wet.

Quiet Site in a Good Location

We spent a week here in September, booking was easy and Alison was very helpful and advised the best route to the CL. The last half mile or so from the main road is a typical Devon lane, narrow with high hedges, so arrival after 1oclock is advised. Gateway into the site needs a bit of care but we got our 7+m van in without any problems. The site itself is a large grass field with a slight slope, levelling blocks required, the hooks ups are well spaced giving plenty of pitching options, there are 2 water taps on the hedge side. The cdp is screened off by the gate and was clean and easy to use. We found the site very quiet with only the occasional vehicle along the lane. The field behind the site can be used for dog walking. The site is midway between Seaton and Lyme Regis and so is well located for exploring East Devon and West Dorset. For Motorhomer's there is a bus stop at the junction of the lane and the main road. Alison sells eggs at the gate which were lovely. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return to this CL. Thank you Alison.

Ideal Rural CL

Pleasant 2 night stay at Rose Coombe Farm, slightly sloping field but short tidy grass with a closed gate and gravel entrance. The adjacent field was available for dog walks and due to zero light pollution the night skies were amazing. Very little passing traffic, well spaced EHU points, a couple of water taps and a good emptying point. Alison made us welcome, OS maps available and eggs for sale. Ideal location for visiting the busier coastal towns, would certainly recommend.

Early Autumn 7 night stay

We were lucky to get a week long stay here in early September at short notice due to a cancellation. Lovely peaceful site 0.7 miles off the main road down a single track road. Despite my concern about meeting traffic, this was not an issue. We did meet an on-coming car on our departure but it immediately reversed up to allow us to get through to the main road. It is worth reading the advice given by the owner about how to approach the site as there are places nearby that you would not want to be towing a caravan. Alison, the owner, was very helpful, relaxed and friendly and made us feel welcome. The area is stunningly beautiful and we enjoyed all of our 7 days exploring the area. We would have welcomed more information on local walks, particularly from the site but I see others managed this so perhaps we could have made more effort ourselves. We did take a walk up to the nearby Musbury Hill Fort which provided a stunning vista. This is a lovely place and I would recommend it.

A wonderful and peaceful place

We booked a three night stay here, I wish it could have been longer, what a lovely place and Alison is so friendly and helpful. Fresh eggs available from the front gate each day, which were amazing. Seaton is only a hour bike ride away. Will definitely be back next year for longer stay next time. Thanks too, to Alison for the lone of your bike pump! See you next year.

Tucked away.

What a gem. Tucked away down a short but narrow lane. Friendly owner. Eggs. A lawned slightly sloping site. Tesco's at Seaton only about 15 minutes away. You might have to walk up the hill to get a mobile signal. TV is good according to the others on the site (I don't have one}. Do not approach through Lyme Regis but make a short loop via A358 and come from the west. The other reviewers obviously enjoyed their stay as did I.

Great place to get away from it all

Great place, views are brilliant and Alison is so friendly. Took two dogs and the field was huge, plenty of space for many dogs to play. Site very clean and tidy, electric points nicely spaced apart. We had the pitch nearest to the gate and were the last to loose the sun in the evening. Fresh eggs for sale via an honesty box and Alison gave us a tour of her free holding. Goats, chickens and horses. No negatives about the site, gate might be a bit of an issue if you have a long van or motorhome. Lane is narrow up-to the site, but directions ate great and easy to follow. Already booked another visit for end of June.

Excellent peaceful site - great area

Spent 15 nights here in July / Aug - what a wonderful peaceful site it is. Plenty of room to pitch wherever you like (subject to power connections of where to pitch. Yes the field side retains sunshine longer into the evening - so that suited us more than hedge / road side. Very little traffic on road past site. Water points, CDP and recycling / litter bins all well provided and clean The site is very convenient for Seaton, Axmouth and Beer in one direction with Lyme Regis / Charmouth / Bridport in the other. The countryside around is very pretty and there are many opportunities for walking. One particular walk we enjoyed took us from the CL into the village, over the hill to Uplyme and then along the River Lym into Lyme Regis. Bus (hourly) back to site drops you at top of lane for short walk downhill to site. Further afield Colmer Hill on the Symondsbury Estate is a super walk rewarding the visitor with great views of the surrounding area. The site owner was superb in responding to emails - recommended places to eat, and the best route to approach the site. Whatever you do DO NOT TOW THROUGH LYME REGIS - very narrow and steep hills. Access to the site from the A35 is very straight forward. The last half mile to the site is a narrow country lane but other traffic was minimal and helpful. There are several eating places near the site - a super bakery / coffee (open till 2pm) stop up the lane in Rousden is quirky (it's in an old garage with some outside tables between redundant pumps!) provides excellent breakfasts and drinks - and the Ship Inn in Axmouth (went twice) provides good food, reasonable prices and very good service. Highly recommended site with helpful owner. Do give it your support!
