Small Tent - Riverside Grass Pitches (Optional Electric - Middle Willow)Sep 2024

We had to move because they did not want a motorhome, which we thought we had booked, not the small tent which appeared on our booking form, near the stream. So we were on a hardstanding pitch, not an issue but not what we thought we had booked. Staff were friendly enough and the place was very clean. Showers of the push button kind, but hot water was readily available, such a treat. Shop did not appear to be open the whole time of our stay, bit of a shame. The dog walking which was pictured was very wet and muddy, which can't be helped, but really very slippery. It was also on quite a steep incline, which was not shown or mentioned. This would have been nice to know, as I suffer from arthritis and hill walking is difficult. Quite a lot of road noise, particularly early morning, 05:00am to 06:00pm, but the convenience of access to get to other places is a plus point.

Hi Debra, Thankyou for your feedback, as we mentioned prior to your arrival, we moved your booking to the hard standing pitch because you were in a motorhome and not the small tent that is stated on the booking. We felt that this was the much better option for yourselves due to the recent heavy rain we had experienced prior and during your arrival Best wishes, Willow Valley

Lovely secluded site

Great to meet the new owners on their first day. They are enthusiastic and keen to keep up the great work from the previous owners. Well-kept site with a number of facilities. Fantastic location for Bude and the north Devon/Cornwall coast or passing through on the A39. Good luck with your new venture. See you again soon

Great location. Excellent amenities. Staff do a great job at making your stay a relaxing one. We had a lovely week at Willow Valley. Had a lovely warm welcome, and we were impressed with our accommodation. The site has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is clean and tidy throughout. It is a great location for exploring North Cornwall and is only a couple of miles from Bude town centre and beaches.

Excellent stay

Stopped for a week. No issues whatsoever. Staff were attentive, polite and chatty - always happy to help. We stopped in the Yellow Bus and it was comfy and quirky. Showers and toilets were spotless. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay.

Lovely site

Single Axle Caravan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric - Middle Willow)Aug 2024

Lovely site, flat and large pitch. However, we were near the small stream with lots of midges in the evenings. We were pitched behind the shepherds hut and quite often were hit with the dreadful smell of the toilet septic tank. The showers were lovely and hot and free, which is a bonus, but could do with a good grouting clean and new racks for shampoo and bits. The loo roll holders are terrible and must make so much work for the cleaner because you have to fight to get the paper out which then turns to confetti. Could also do with hairdryers in the loos. Pizza horsebox twice a week, very nice chap and good pizzas. He actually told us it's now new owners, so hopefully they will address these little things and the place will be fabulous. In general, a lovely, quiet site, even though there's kids play area in the middle. Easy access and good for beaches and shops. Thank you.

Bell Tent - Bell TentsJun 2024

Lovely quiet, clean site and good value for money. We stayed in a Bell tent in a pretty country setting which felt private with its own large decking area. Only a short drive to Bude and larger supermarkets. Would definitely stay again.

Really lovely site

Accommodating, helpful and kind. The bus glamping was great. Great facilities, well thought of. Wood for warming. Chris and Jen were kind enough to also allow us access to one of the lodges which greatly helped with the kids.

Really good, Chris was very helpful and friendly

Booked online the night before and arrived a little later than thought. Chris greeted us and showed us our pitch and helped me get the van connected. Very friendly and helpful. Showers and toilets were immaculate. Highly recommend staying here.

Yes, I would recommend it. Stopped before. Clean and tidy. Only a few minutes drive to beaches. It has other forms of accommodation, but we stayed in our van with an electric hook-up. It has a playground and is great for families.

Beautiful, secluded area

VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric - Middle Willow)Sep 2023

Beautiful, secluded area. There is road noise from traffic, but nothing serious. Site itself is well laid out. Signage to get to the site itself needs to be looked into, due to narrow roads and trying to concentrate on traffic. The site was very clean and tidy. Staff very courteous and helpful. Peaceful and quiet. Pitches are excellent. Only issue is signage to get to site. Otherwise, a great place.

Good

Lovely site, owners very accommodating. Had a few questions prior to arriving and were very prompt at replying Close to Bude and surrounding areas. Nice small site, with a range of accommodations. Showers nice and hot all of the time. Didn't really use any of the other facilities as didn't need to. Pizza van a bonus. We didn't travel with children, but is a lovely, safe, family friendly site if you were travelling with little ones.

Lovely, small campsite. Everything is extremely clean, showers, toilets, pitches etc. Helpful owners. Close to a main road, so a little noisy. 20 minutes to the local pub, Preston Gate Inn, have the steak. Dog friendly.

Great Site

Glamping - Bluebird Refurbished School BusMay 2023

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The bus was very quirky and filled with amenities. Bude town centre was roughly a five-minute drive, so cannot fault location and the value for money was excellent. We came with our two-year french bulldog who is very reactive, but the bus was able to keep the noise out from people walking past and other fury visitors, so he was able to relax fully and he also enjoyed his stay. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you!!

Good base camp

VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric - Middle Willow)Dec 2022

Lovely, level site with a combination of grass and hardstanding pitches and plenty of electric hook ups available. Very close to the A39, so at busy times it maybe could get a bit noisy with traffic and whilst clean, the facilities are limited, so when site is full this may be an issue. Very enjoyable stay and will use again as we never go away in peak times.
