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.)

What customers say

This small, friendly campsite offers spectacular views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the accommodating and helpful owners. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean. Some guests noted additional charges for showers and electricity, with one reviewer finding the ground uneven. Parking is a short walk from pitches, which can involve a hilly path. The location is considered excellent for exploring local beaches and attractions.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked We really enjoyed our stay here as part of our wedding anniversary trip. The location is beautiful – peaceful countryside with lovely views across Exmoor, but still close to Combe Martin and the coast. The pitches were well kept and easy to access. Caron was very friendly and helpful, always quick to reply to messages, and made everything simple for us. The site felt safe, calm and perfect for couples

Disliked Showers are charged separately (£2 per person/day) which is good to know in advance, but they were clean and worked well.

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.
