TWITCHEN HOUSE HOLIDAY PARK
Leisurely coastal Devon holidays
Twitchen House Holiday Park is charming, and it's not the manor house setting that's gone to the head. Hidden away in the trees with lots of woodland walks, one leading to the beach, this leisurely North Devon holiday park has got a lovely laidback mood with a range of self-catering accommodation options to choose from. 'Twitchen' is old Devonian for the crossing of two paths and you'll get the best of both worlds here. You might even forget you're just 20 minutes’ walk to Britain's best beach here in Woolacombe.

We had 2 adjacent pitches, one for our motorhome and one for our tent which worked well. The facilities for families were good with plenty of choice of things to do. The staff were all very helpful and accommodating and the faculties (showers etc.) were very good.

First time going to Woolacombe caravan park and really enjoyed it - so much so, we rebooked for September. The caravan was clean and well equipped. The pools was great and plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. The staff were polite and helpful - especially when doing the Crazybugz. Overall, we had a fab time away.

Twitchen House is not as close to the beach as Woolacombe Bay but it is a gentler walk along the pretty ‘donkey path’ through National Trust land. This path is less steep and suitable for smaller children, with open grass and woodland. It will take about 15-20 minutes to walk to Combesgate beach, whilst Woolacombe beach is around 25-30 minutes on foot. By car it's about 8 minutes (1.9 miles) through the pretty adjacent village of Mortehoe.
