Higher Cheristow Farm Campsite

A aimé We really enjoyed our stay. Good, clean facilities, the owners were friendly & helpful. A quiet campsite, with only the occasional sounds of farm animals and wildlife. With a lack of light pollution the site has the best opportunity for star gazing, at night, that we’ve seen in years. Would highly recommend.

A aimé Very welcoming, lovely view. Very chilled Vibe. Quiet! For a few nights it was just us. Reasonable price. Facilities were fine and perfect for what we needed. Not far from beautiful places. Adult only. Seeing the cows well loved. Watching the milking and they gave us yoghurt!

A aimé What a lovely campsite for adults (and dogs) only. Very peaceful and beautiful location right in the NW tip of Devon. Great walks straight from the campsite out to the SW Coast Path.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your positive review. We are lucky to be so close to the SW Coastal Path, and the wonderful coastline.

A aimé I liked how quiet it was, the toilet/shower block was great, kept tidy and clean, the showers were the best, hot and powerful. The toilet/shower block was part of a cabin which had the pot washing area, you also had use of a microwave and kettle if you needed it and access to jigsaws and some books.
I also liked how when you went to the loo there was a little gaggle of geese that waddled over to see you.

N'a pas aimé The pitch that we were allocated was spoilt by the overgrown hedgerow (we were at the bottom end in the corner) it just needed a strimmer taking to it, so that you could see over the fence to see the lovely jersey cows and also the views in the distance.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for reviewing your stay. The ducks are very popular with guests staying on the campsite. They are very friendly indeed.
There is always a balance to be had with the amount or not of cutting the grass and strimming the hedges. The wildlife love the nettles, but the guests would like the banks strimmed. I will bear your comments in mind, because, yes there is a lovely view of the countryside beyond the campsite. We do have 3 pitches which do not have a hedgebank, and have wonderful views, but the pitch you stayed in is the most sheltered spot and reserved for tents like yourself.

A aimé Small campsite and we had the place to ourselves, it was lovely. It is a working farm and there was cows in the next field that came to say hello, ducks and a lovely unusual cat.
The owners were very friendly and according and would stop for a chat. They went about their day and we enjoyed watching them.
The site is literally in the middle of nowhere, but we like that.
The site provided everything you need from kettle to hair dryer.
We enjoyed staying at this site

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Yes, it is a very quiet site in the middle of nowhere, and the facilities are accessed via our cattle yard. Hope to see you again when you are in the area.

A aimé We use our VW camper, travel light and explore by bicycle…
Quiet location with no ambient light, so good for star gazing if there is a clear sky.
Reasonably sheltered site with good views.
Great facilities shed with clean toilets, showers, wash up, kettle, microwave and a radio that sensed entry & played Classic fm.
Sounds and life of the farm (cattle can be ‘noisy’ if they’re penned for any reason)

N'a pas aimé A bit tricky to find.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Delighted you enjoyed your stay. Kind Regards.

A aimé Liked everything about this site, small and friendly Shelly and Eric are fantastic hosts. Great pitch, love that you pay for the electric you use.
Fantastic facilities, some of the best we've experienced spotlessly clean at all times, with a little radio playing feels almost like a spa. Great kitchen area with fridge, kettle toaster and microwave.
Pitch dark at night so great for star gazing but don't forget your torch. Fantastic area for walking with lots to see and do.

With this campsite it's all about the little touches thanks Shelly for making us feel so welcome

N'a pas aimé That we weren't staying longer. We will be back.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your words of praise. It was a pleasure to meet you both.
We are blessed with amazing dark skies. The moon last night looked a real picture.
Best wishes.

A aimé It was peaceful and we had all the facilities we needed with bringing our portable camping stove and sponges for washing up. The owners were very kind and accommodating and there were only 6 other people on this site at its busiest. Close to some lovely areas of Devon and we were able to take a walk on Exmoor on the way home. Fantastic place.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Lovely to meet you both. Thank you for choosing to stay here on your short break on this adult only campsite. Delighted you were able to enjoy some of our beautiful scenery. The campsite is a bit remote with lovely views, which adds to its charm. Warm wishes.
