This is our 4th year here and we certainly hope to be back next year, it is the perfect combination of feeling wild/isolated and yet with the luxury of your own bathroom facilities and a large indoor kitchen/washing up space with large fridge/freezer and table just a short and beautiful walk away. Jackie and Antony are friendly and very relaxed. The views are stunning and the farm trail always a joy to do!

Site's response

Ah! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review, that's very kind of you. So glad you enjoy the facilities offered here, on your own isolated pitch with country views. The private bathrooms for each pitch are are great hit with everyone. We always like to see happy campers returning, often for longer stays than first stays. We look forward to hearing when you'd like to camp again at Huxtable Farm, until then enjoy life.

The rolling Devon countryside is all around you, with Exmoor National Park just a stone's throw away and Barnstaple a mere 7 miles from the site.

Looking to laze under the sun? There are plenty of beaches that'll fit the bill. Head towards the North Devon coast and soak up some sun at Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and more.

Nature lovers can wander along the Devon wildlife trail on site, taking you through the 80 acre farm. Perhaps say hello to the animals on your route too.
