Guyscliffe farm with the five acre woods

Personal space for non electric small tent

Devon site with views out over Exmoor’s hills and Combe Martin bay
A 10-minute drive from Combe Martin beaches and 15 from Ilfracombe
Wildlife haven circled by woodland; shared barbecue and firepit area

Seeking somewhere secluded yet not too remote? Guyscliffe Farm is just the ticket for a top trip. Set high above Combe Martin, overlooking the hills of Exmoor National Park and Combe Martin bay, it’s close to the coast, countryside and a dreamy Devon village. The site is known for its friendly vibe – mostly thanks to the hard work of semi-retired owners Caron and Tony, who have years of hospitality experience under their belts from running a B&B in Bristol. They’re on hand to help you organise your trip, whether you’re after a quiet beach break or adventure-filled forays around Exmoor (15 minutes’ drive). Surrounded by extensive land and woods, Guyscliffe Farm has direct access to several hikes. One of the best walks in the area – through the Valley of Rocks, a steep natural vale dotted with rock pinnacles carved out during the Ice Age – takes half an hour to reach, but the South West Coast Path is less than 10 minutes away for relaxed roams closer by. Wherever you choose to stretch your legs, gather around the logburner in the barbecue area back on base while surveying the spectacular sea view. Or expend even more energy by strolling around on site – there’s plenty of scope to watch the wildlife that often scampers across the vast grounds. Note that the driveway to the site is steep but worth the drive (they once had a double decker bus up there.)

Unpowered grass tent site (secluded)

Liked: We had an amazing experience with the friendly host at the beautiful area. They even allowed us to set up our tent early in the morning so we wouldn't disturb anyone when we returned in the evening. We can't wait to go back!

Disliked: There was absolutely nothing not to like.

Liked: The most beautiful views to wake up to! Camping nestled into the hillside, with a stunning view looking down on the Combe Martin below, to the sea on one side and a valley to the other. Caron was so kind and accommodating, we felt very welcome. Perfect location for exploring the area, so many pretty villages and the most gorgeous beaches.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much Caron. All the very best to you and your husband.

Liked: Loved the car parking vw theme, it’s nicely laid out from the 1/2 a VW beetle upwards you just park in line with a vw hub caps on the fence. The view is breathtaking 🤩 you really need to see it! Caron came to give us a warm welcome us on arrival, and was nothing but lovely throughout our stay, she really gave the impression of nothing is much trouble, and was great with my young kids. The toilets were always nice and clean. The location is great for the Wildlife a Dinosaur park, We had such a good time we actually stayed an extra night!!

Jen M. Jul 2024

Power optional grass tent site (large)

Liked: Beautiful views. Warm helpful welcome. Nice quality/well maintained toilet and shower facilities. Very peaceful and quiet location a short drive from Combe Martin. You can faintly hear the Gibbons and the nearby wildlife park in the morning: a unique wake up but not loud.

Disliked: You can’t park near the tent so have a short but hilly walk to get your stuff to and from the car. You have to pay extra to use the shower

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank Jen for chosing to stay with us at guyscliffe farm. I am glad you enjoyed it here and thank you for your comments.
The short walk to the car park its not very far it is under 100 yards.
Paying extra for the shower is so that we can offer the best prices for our campsite, so instead of adding all the extras on top of the price as not everyone wants to shower. Or has a dog or requires electric, that way we feel we are very reasonably prices. 😊

Really lovely experience. Excellent facilities and stunning location.

ILARIA I. Aug 2023

Power optional grass tent site (medium)

Liked: A small quiet campsite with a breathtaking view of Combe Martin, the hills and the sea. Just opened so we were honoured to be their first ever customers! The campsite is very cleverly equipped. Automatic lights allow walking to the facilities without the need of a head torch at night. The toilets, shower and washing block is well designed with plenty of hot water. The fire pit/BBQ area is just lovely, with a beautiful view and Pic nic benches. Caron and her husband are lovely and friendly people with plenty of suggestions for local walks! Would definitely use again and recommend without reservation!

Disliked: Nothing really. Just important to keep in mind that the pitches are on the small side and placed at the side of a hill. The pitches are flat but the access is not, to be kept into account especially when loading/unloading equipment. It can get windy. We pitched in quite strong wind and had to use 3-4 pegs on the key points of the tent. Could have done with storm straps. Definitely not good for ball games 😁

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you both for being our first customers from pitch up. arriving in the windy weather but lucky the weather changed for you and gave you some beautiful pictures. Take care and look forward to seeing you again

Local attractions

During days on site when the wind’s blowing in the right direction, it’s said you can hear the wolves and monkeys from the nearby Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park. Rather admire animals than listen to them? Then head five minutes’ drive down the road over to this zoo or drop by the aquarium in Ilfracombe’s harbour (15 minutes). Watermouth Castle (10 minutes) is right within striking distance, and a trip there can easily be combined with some surfing or watersports at Woolacombe beach (20 minutes), Croyde beach (half an hour) or Saunton Sands (half an hour). While at this seaside spot, you can’t miss the 63-foot-high Verity Statue towering over town. Snap a photo of the striking structure, then – if it’s high tide – take a dip in the natural Victorian bathing pools at its feet. Brimming with marine life and a touch warmer than the sea, they’re stellar for snorkelling. To set eyes on other coastal creatures, take a boat trip from Ilfracombe and see the seals basking on the mainland, or speed towards Lundy Island for a chance of sighting seabirds, porpoises and dolphins. Back on dry land, the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (half an hour) – linked by a Victorian-era water-powered railway – are also well worth a look.
