Fantastic pitch, ideally located to see Exmoor and the Devon coast but feel worlds away on your secluded pitch. Only 3 pitches make this an exclusive site. The en-suite facilities are a 3 minute walk and there's a magical walk around the farm. We had our campervan and dog.

We loved our stay at Huxtable Farm. Just 3 pitches spread out around the farm gives each plenty of privacy. Location was great for us, with plenty to do nearby. Each pitch has its own bathroom, which is clean and spacious, although a little walk from the pitches (being at the main farm buildings). There is a washing up room with fridge and freezer, toaster, kettle and microwave, which is very useful. There's a little games room and some home-made produce, which is delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will return 😊

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here for 4 nights and we honestly cannot recommend this site enough! From the moment we arrived Jackie and Antony were so polite and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and they really made us feel so welcome! The farm is absolutely stunning, and we definitely recommend using the map to go exploring! It's so worth it! We weren't lucky enough to see any deer but we still saw so many animals, and the views are wonderful - even in the rain! The pitch itself was perfect. We had a stunning view of the hills and it was the perfect size for our setup. Be aware there is barely any signal once you get onto the pitch, but there is free WiFi in the communal areas which is really useful! The facilities were amazing and clean, there's even a fridge/ freezer in the communal washroom which was incredibly useful! We couldn't get over the amount of facilities here, the best I've seen at any campsite! The games room has no shortage of activities, and there's plenty of information available for places to eat and attractions to see in the local area. The little touches throughout the farm really go the extra mile, we bought apple juice and jam and really recommend giving them a try - they're delicious! Our only comment is that our bathroom came with the bath and a shower attachment. This was no issue for myself, but as my boyfriend is 6 ft 3 he struggled to use the shower attachment as it lost water pressure. That being said this is a 16th century farmhouse; so this is to be expected, and the water was always lovely and warm! Also having a private bathroom on a campsite really is an amazing luxury. Overall we had an absolutely amazing time staying at Huxtable Farm, it's definitely my favourite campsite I've been to. It's the perfect location for a romantic couples getaway, a family holiday, or even a solo trip! I really could go on about how lovely this campsite is, I cannot recommend it enough!
