Apple Grove Caravan – Devon Cliffs, Exmouth

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apple Grove Caravan – Devon Cliffs, Exmouth, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a static caravan. But this four-star setup completely changed my perspective on what holiday park accommodation could be. The caravan sits perfectly positioned within the Devon Cliffs holiday park, and you can actually hear the waves from Sandy Bay just beyond the dunes. There’s something immediately relaxing about the whole setup, especially when you realize you’re literally a two-minute walk from one of Devon’s most beautiful stretches of coastline.

Location & Setting

The location is honestly what makes this place special — couples have been raving about it, and I can see why. You’re perched right on the cliff edge between Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton, which means you get the best of both worlds. Exmouth’s buzzing seafront with its decent restaurant scene is just a short drive away, while Budleigh Salterton’s pebble beach and quieter vibe is equally accessible. The holiday park itself feels more like a small village than your typical caravan site, and the coastal path literally runs past your door — perfect for those early morning walks when the mist is still hanging over the water.

The Accommodation

Inside, the caravan surprised me with how spacious and well-thought-out everything was. The main room flows nicely into the dining area, and there’s actually proper storage space (something you don’t always get in these places). The kitchen has everything you need — full-size fridge, decent hob, even a proper oven, which meant we could cook fresh fish from Exmouth market rather than relying on takeaways. The bedrooms are compact but comfortable, and honestly, you’re spending most of your time outside anyway with views like these.

Coastal Adventures

What I loved most was how easy it made exploring this stretch of the Jurassic Coast. Sandy Bay beach is literally at the bottom of the cliff — you can be building sandcastles or searching for fossils within minutes of leaving your door. The South West Coast Path runs right past the site, so serious walkers can tackle sections toward Sidmouth or back toward Exmouth’s famous two-mile sandy beach. There’s decent parking if you want to explore further afield, and the train station in Exmouth connects you to Exeter if you fancy a day trip inland.

Why Guests Love It

You know what really works here? It’s that perfect balance between having facilities when you need them (the holiday park has pools, entertainment, shops) but feeling like you’re in your own little coastal retreat. Couples especially seem to appreciate the romantic sunsets you get from this clifftop position — I mean, watching the sun drop into Lyme Bay from your caravan steps is pretty special. The whole setup just feels more authentic than a hotel somehow, like you’re actually living by the sea rather than just visiting it. Plus, at this price point, you’re getting prime Devon coast access without the premium resort costs.
