“New berry valley camp site, Coombe Martin”
Written on: 25/08/2011 by louisefigges
i would never stay at this camp site again. very expensive, but the grass surfaces are not flat enough (tilted, like sleeping on a hill!!!) so was an uncomfortable nights sleep. Also there were loud animals noises all night, apparently from the wolf farm that they keep... also cars just drive straight past your tent, which i found worrying. the toilet facilities you would expect to be amazing because of the new build facilities they have had put in. but there were no shampoo or soap...

What can I say? Martin Newberry Farm is a fantastic site for tents!
We have been going there for 30 years but since the old owners left it's not the same our kids grew up with them. It is now too regimental!

VERY busy bank holiday. We had a 5 minute walk to the toilet block which was rather tired and old looking. The caravans closest to the toilet block all seemed vary close together with no views at all other than each other. Only one 'fun' area for kids consisting of a climbing frame and slide. They cannot guarantee which pitch you have so you are either lucky and away from the toilet block or not. (read more)

Visited Martin Newberry Farm in Combe years ago before change of owner. Then it was good value for money. The village was better too, now there's not many shops and they close early. Other sites nearby have more facilities and cost less. (read more)

We have had two separate holidays at Newberry Farm in Combe Martin, and enjoyed both immensely.
The site isn't too large, and the washing facilities are OK to good - we've seen better, but also a lot worse in our time!
Plenty of beaches to explore with almost immediate access to Combe Martin Bay
Much more sheltered and better positioned that the bleak looking sites at Watermouth Bay - you have some sort of buffer on at least one side to give you a sense of 'your pitch' rather than being...

Written on: 24/05/2005 by Markerbouy (1 review written)
Martin Newberry Farm is set out with fairly flat terraces in a small sheltered valley with lovely views of the sea and at night its sometimes possible to see the twinkling lights of Wales in the distance. The site is family owned and on the whole they are a friendly bunch. Caravans, large tents and trailer tents are mostly pitched on the terraces and there is provision for back packers in 3 long fields near to the site entrance. There is a lake on site that has been stocked with a variety of... (read more)

Markerbouy's Response to Markerbouy's Review
Written on: 16/09/2007
We thought we would give Newberry Farm another go this year and so I telephoned and talked to the new owner.
<br/>The tariff was very high and this put us off straight away especially as the person I talked to said that they were in the process of updating the toilets / showers but these would not be ready this year (2007). As other reviewers have mentioned there is not much else on site in the way of facilities and even the day ticket for fishing the lake is not discounted for campers.
<br/>The person I talked to said that the new owners are the people that own the Hidden Valley site the other side of Ilfracome, which is a reasonable site.
<br/>If this site does not offer more, and if the town is in decline as other reviewers have mentioned we probably wont be persuaded to return. Its a shame as its the best situated site for the town and beach.
