A nice lodge in an excellent location with Hele Bay within an easy walk and Ilfracombe a short drive. Lovely green surroundings and in a very well kept campsite.

Elm lodge is well equipped, clean and modern. The beds are so very comfortable. The site is well maintained, the village has a pub and petrol station with Spar which is well stocked. The pub has reduced opening hours and food isn't served every evening, rather hit and miss really.

Elm lodge was excellent well equipped and very comfortable. The site was well maintained and a mixture of lodges, mobile homes and caravans. The site was situated in a valley hence its name but local beach and pub were nearby. A walk initially uphill then downhill to ilfarcombe harbour about a 15 minute walk.
