  • Quiet site with lots of space on a working farm: campfires allowed
  • On the edge of Exmoor National Park 10 minutes' drive from the beach
  • Visit the farm animals and gather freshly laid eggs for breakfast
Venture towards Devon's north coast for splendid stays on a working farm, on the edge of Exmoor National Park and 10 minutes' drive from the nearest beach at Combe Martin. Westland Farm is a small working farm in north Devon, half a mile from Blackmoor Gate and well placed for days roaming around the moor or adventuring and surfing around the coast: Ilfracombe and Woolacombe are 20 and 25 minutes' drive away. The farm's mission is to offer back-to-basics stays with plenty of space, where guests can sit by a campfire outside their tent, beer in hand, to watch the night sky. For junior guests, there's loads of green space to run around in, as well as farm animals to meet and say hi to: guests are also welcome to gather the farm hens' freshly laid eggs for breakfast. Although this is old-school camping, Westland Farm doesn't skimp on the amenities: a luxurious heated toilet and shower block is to hand for guests, and there are electric points to charge phones in the laundry room. The farm is half a mile from its local pub, which serves food all day.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A very convenient location for accessing local villages and the South West Coast Path.

Excellent shower facilities.

Disliked: The field only has a few level pitches and these are mainly at the top of the field, closest to the road which is very busy. Traffic noise was consistent all day and early evening but did stop at night.

I think it would be less noticeable if you were in one of the cabins which are further down the hill.

Emily M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Absolutely everything! The site, the facilities, the animals, the host... Couldn't have been better. The showers were hot and huge (family sized!) and loads of loos. Logs and eggs available whenever you needed them. The washer and dryer and fridge freezer were so useful as we had every single type of weather you could think of. But still one of the best holidays we've been on.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Emily :) It's great to see some of the pictures you took during your stay here. We sure have had a mixture of weather here recently!. I'm glad this didn't affect your holiday spirits and you had a lovely time. We hope to see you sometime soon

Liked: Nicky and her family are wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The facilities are clean and the toilets/showers are the best we have seen at a campsite. Our children loved the farm experience, feeding the pigs and chickens and collecting eggs. And the dogs too! Beautiful scenery and great location. Thank you so much!

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Weeks' worth of adventures and attractions start in two directions from the farm: Blackmore Gate and the entrance to Exmoor National Park are under a mile to the north west, and spectacular north Devon beaches, surfing and other watersports are accessible from Combe Martin and beyond, 10 minutes' drive away. The kids will probably clamour for the beach first, so take them to the three splendid Victorian seaside towns close by: Combe Martin, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe (possibly have a separate day for each as there's loads to see and do). At Combe Martin, the dino express, animatronic dinosaurs, meerkats and animal experiences of Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park should prove a monster hit; Ilfracombe is particularly famed for its Tunnels beaches and its harbour, and Woolacombe is the most famed north Devon spot for surfing. And then to Exmoor… access it within walking distance to stride off over the moor, or drive in to reach the closest information centre, Lynmouth (15 minutes), and gather armfuls on info on Exmoor's hiking, horse riding, events, wildlife and towns and villages. In the other direction from the park, it's a mile's walk to the boating, birdwatching, trout fishing and nature spotting of Wistlandpound reservoir, and 15 minutes' drive to a day's shopping and sightseeing at Barnstaple. The team also recommends Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum (10 minutes), and, further afield at 45 minutes, the famed RHS gardens at Rosemoor.
