Browns Farm Reviews

One night stopover

It was only a one-night stopover, but it was perfect for our needs.

Highly recommended- perfect for our Motorhome

Even in middle of storm Bert, we arrived late on the Friday night to a friendly greeting and we were walked to our pitch. They were so helpful and pointed out where the bus stop was to get to Exeter (Christmas market). The pitch had all the facilities, which was perfect in a storm! The setting was lovely and can imagine the summer would have been fantastic! This being our first proper holiday in a motorhome, we had plenty to learn. Thank you to the campsite for their help and understanding. Even extending our leaving time to allow us to pack, highly recommended!

Friendly site

Site is in a good location for visiting the surrounding area, and is good for cycling around the area. We missed the turn off the main road and ended up at a road not suitable for the caravan. Called the owner, who came out and led us to the site by a safe route. There are toilets and showers on site which were very clean, if in need of an update. There was plenty of hot water for the shower.

One night stopover

Lovely one night stop at Browns Farm. Clean facilities, met by owner when we arrived. Set on a working farm. Great stopover on our way west. Worth noting, we walked to The Diggers Rest pub, an easy 10 mins walk but closed on Mondays!

Great place to stay

This campsite is good place to reach many lovely places in this part of Devon: Exmouth beaches, Branscombe, Sidmouth and Topsham, for instance. The pitches are a decent size, there is electricity and water to most of them. The showers and toilets are clean and work well, and the arrival was welcoming and helpful. There is some morning noise from the farm, and the small road next to the site has some traffic at times, but all was low level and manageable. We'd be very happy to spend another few days here. Thanks Stuart.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear that you will visit again, we look forward to seeing you.

Good site

Lovely spaced-out site, with water and drained on pitch. Clean hot showers.

Peaceful and friendly

Only 1 night as we were en route home from Cornwall. The site is very green and quiet with border hedges. The amenities, while basic, provided everything we needed. We received a warm friendly welcome from Stuart who guided us to our pitch and had earlier texted about a local road closure which was thoughtful. The unisex showers could do with mirrors and a chair/table.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As your stay was a short one, you may well have not noticed that there is a seat in the changing area of the accessible shower. There is also a mirror outside the shower units, but thank you for your thoughts.

Great environment for families and couples

It is indeed a great environment for families and couples. Being a farm instead of a holiday park, it is way more relaxing and welcoming for families and couples.

Excellent

Really nice stay. Good check in and nice stay on the farm.

Good value for money

Small site with a mix of tents and campervans. Nothing on the site apart from the shower and toilet block which can get quite busy. Site owner let us book in early as we were about an hour early. Good size plots. Nice location, you can walk into the village if you desire. We tried one of the pubs for a meal and drink which was good value with friendly staff.

Lovely

Very nice owner who greeted us with a smile, even when it was a drizzly day! Was a smallish site but very clean and quiet. Set in a lovely village, pub not far 5/10 minute walk. Yes, I would recommend to others and would stay again.

Family Visit

Lovely family-oriented site. Pitches were excellent.

Caravan

Fantastic site. Peaceful and central to local places of interest, perfect base to travel, I will be visiting again soon.

Lovely spot

Stayed here for 1 night en-route to Cornwall. Great site! Friendly hosts and great facilities. We didn't go but some lovely looking pubs nearby. Nice common area and former castle / fort nearby, which is very picturesque. Would stay again!

Lovely place and would definitely come again

Lovely sized pitches with well tended grass areas and just enough growth to allow wild flowers (some call them weeds, bees call them food!) and nice space around them. They haven't tried to fit in as many as possible which some places do. Very peaceful (apart from the cows who are noisy critters sometimes 🤣). Levelling blocks needed on some of the hard standings from what I saw of other vans, but we managed without. We will definitely be back. One slight problem was that the shower in the ladies was a bit temperamental about maintaining temperature, but since I didn't tell them about it, I can't really fault them on that.

Short break

As described. Clean and well equipped.

Spotlessly clean site

This site is on a working farm, so you need to expect the smell of the country. However, the site itself is spotlessly clean and it is level. The pitch we had was very private, surrounded by a tall hedge on three sides. Showers and toilets were clean. WiFi available and there is a laundry and an outside washing up kitchen with hot water. Definitely recommend.

Bertie

Nice, clean and tidy, small site.

Very clean place

The facilities are clean, there is hot water and it's in a nice area.

Lovely, well kept site

Lovely, well kept site. Had great walks to village pub and the farm shop.

Quiet site

A clean and well run site with friendly staff, pub within walking distance also good.

Nice friendly site

Lovely location. Friendly site with electric hook up and water. Toilets could do with a good clean. Great pub nearby for excellent food. Lovely birdsong in morning.

A lovely, well kept and peaceful site.

Probably the best night's sleep of this holiday. Very peaceful.

Brilliant site!

Friendly welcome, well laid out site, spacious pitches. Well appointed facilities, very clean. Great recommendation for local pub, The Digger's Rest. Will definitely be back!

Stopover

Stayed here for one night, we had a warm welcome from the owner, and he was very informative. Nice and quiet during the night, all in all an excellent site.
