About

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!"

"Stayed in Owl barn with my young family, as always the host Alex and Nick go to the next level to support and suggest great places to visit. The cottage has everything you need and we can't fault it. The grounds are wonderful, some stunning photos taken with the frost and the sunsets. You have to come here and experience the relaxed peaceful life."
