Burrowhayes Farm Riding Stables

Reviewed By Vanlifemum - Bristol, United Kingdom

Discovered this campsite this year. Love it!! Well run and friendly family run campsite. Really welcoming. We liked it so much we stayed twice in August. Great location. Welcomes dogs. Good walks through surrounding woodland to Porlock, Porlock Weir and the beach. We were in the second field which has a slope so if you're in a van (we were) you'll need blocks to level the van. This will definitely become a favourite place to visit.

Porlock Hill

Reviewed By R4437GWrichards - Bracknell, United Kingdom

We always drive up and down Porlock Hill to visit Lynmouth, since the 1970s we have been testing our cars and driving skills! This time as we started to climb, an ancient Ford Ka kept stalling in front of us, reversing suddenly, so we kept our distance, to avoid a crash! Thankfully the driver managed at the 5th attempt to give it enough welly to move upwards, to our great relief. Once we were going, the views were as sublime as ever, with fields of sheep and ponies surrounding the narrow road.

Porlock Scenic Toll Road

Reviewed By 810allanc - Ipswich, United Kingdom

Having done the A39 Porlock ill a couple of times in both directions we took the toll road as a scenic alternative and were glad we did. As easy drive on the whole with one or two tricky points it gave great alternative views of the bay and the countryside and was worth the fee.
