Guyscliffe farm with the five acre woods

  • Devon site with views out over Exmoor’s hills and Combe Martin bay
  • A five-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 Combe Martin beaches are only five minutes' drive away. 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 five 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 drive up to the top, so they're sure you can make it.)

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked The most insane views and quietest area, was the first holiday for me and my boyfriend by ourselves and was so perfect for actually relaxing and having a BREAK, such sweet people with a beautiful land and view to go up to. The sheep were awesome neighbours and would come up to our tent which was adorable, and having wolves howling as an alarm was definitely an experience in itself😂 could not recommend enough for a cheap and peaceful trip away!!

From the manager: Wow what a lovely review
Glad you had a great time here and good to make fantastic memories to look back in years to come hope to see you again ;)

Eve S. 1 review

Electric optional grass tent pitch (XL)

Liked We loved our stay at Guyscliffe Farm. It was very peaceful with beautiful views, just a short drive down into Combe Martin. As there are only a few pitches, it felt very calm. Caron and Tony were very friendly and the facilities were good. We were even able to charge our car overnight which was really useful!

Disliked We could hear the animals from the Wildlife Park nearby on several occasions during the night, which can be a little eerie if you don’t know what it is!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi glad you enjoyed your stay nice meeting you too. I know what you mean about the wolves and the monkeys, can you imagine when there were lions too wow now that was really scary 😂 thanks for showing us the ropes with the EV charger too

Liked Stunning views and the owners were lovely. Facilities were nice and clean

beautiful campsite and lovely location. Would stay if I had a smaller set up

Disliked Pitch not big enough for our set up and I didn’t enjoy not being able to park by the pitch.

If you would like to stay again try the secluded pitch where you can park near and it is the biggest pitch which could fit two big tents :) you would be very welcome back

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.
