beautiful countryside and stunning coastline
Welcome to Strawfields
Strawfields is an 8 acre smallholding consisting of our farmhouse, three cottages, shepherd huts, hobbit yurts and a very small rustic campsite. A fantastic location, hidden away in the beautiful North Devon countryside, yet only minutes drive from the sea. The breathtaking sandy surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Saunton, Croyde and Putsbourough are all within easy reach. The small fishing harbour towns of Ilfracombe, Lynton and Lynmouth are close by, as are the many hidden coves to discover. There is a public footpath running directly behind Strawfields across the fields to the local village of West Down, which boasts a well-stocked community village shop and a great local pub.

"We had a fantastic week staying at Strawfields. A perfect spot for a quiet week of camping. Wonderful, natural campsite with all the amenities you could need. The kids loved playing in the stream and we all enjoyed the pizza night. Perfect location to explore the fantastic local beaches. Plenty of rock pooling and swimming to be done!"
