"This is a true slice of heaven in a perfect spot. Just a short drive to North Devon's best beaches. Our kids loved the hut, feeding the animals, playing on the trampolines and making pizza on Saturday night. As a non camper I found the amenities perfect, everything was clean and the fellow site users were nice and quiet. Thanks for a lovely break."

Please note: You park in the campsite car park, then walk through the fields down some steps and across a tiny bridge to reach Lily Pad.  We are electricity free and do not have lighting on the campsite at night, so torches are essential.  Alpacas live in the adjoining field behind the hut and Pygmy goats may be grazing in the pond area close to the hut, but they are fenced out of the hut area.  Our friendly ducks may wander down to visit the pond for a swim and  they have been known to visit guests in the outdoor shower!
"We had a great time at the Lilypad. The campsite as a whole is beautifully looked after and easy to get around. The Lilypad hut is a little separate from the rest of the campsite, overlooking a Lilypad pond. The hut itself was simple, which is exactly what we wanted. The bed was big and comfy, and the little wood burner made the entire place warm in minutes. Recommend to anyone!"
