Gatcombe Park Farm Glamping

Syntes om The Campsite is wonderful. On a farm with hens and ducks (with free range eggs to purchase) and surrounded by alpacas. What more could you ask for? Also it is a 40 minute walk to Totnes along backroads.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you Ross,
I'm glad that you enjoyed your break here with us

Syntes om The atmosphere, the owners and pretty much everything

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for coming to stay with us, hope to see you again .

Syntes om Everything. The site was beautiful, quiet, relaxing and the views were stunning. Alpacas were right at our tent front and the service from the site owners was thorough and welcoming.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you Chloe,im glad you enjoyed your stay here with us :)

Syntes om Lovely site, great location with short walk to Pig & Whistle, gorgeous bathroom!

Syntes om We stay for one night as we had a wedding nearby, and wish we could have stayed longer. Absolutely beautiful camp site! Everything there you need and super peaceful! We will definitely be booking again.
The highlight was sat on the swinging chair listening to the waterfall with the morning sun shining on me! The toilet was always clean and the shower too. The shower was also lovely and warm with great lighting!

Fra bestyreren: Thank you Emily for your lovely review it’s great to know when people enjoy the space . See you next time

Syntes om The tranquillity, friendly and relaxed owners, lovely fellow-campers, location, alpacas, facilities - everything really that meant we extended our stay by two nights!

Syntes ikke om Would have been good to have a gravel path between bathroom and kitchen - less wet shoes!

Syntes om Distance from the local town, welcoming host. Very quiet campsite. Easy to locate. Tea, coffee and milk available. Toilet facilities were lovely and very clean.

Syntes om Nice enough, and good location, friendly owners…

Syntes ikke om …however, I felt that having to buy a £6 membership to even book in, then £25 for first night, and additional £27 to extend by one extra night (more if I’d have done bank transfer)…totalling £58 for me as a solo traveller in a one-man pop-up tent for two nights was VERY pricey for a campsite with no frills.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your feedback; it's quite a contrast from our previous reviews! We appreciate hearing your perspective. We strive to offer a unique and enjoyable experience at our small campsite, which is part of Natural England. The £6 membership fee is an essential contribution that helps the club's conservation efforts, like our 'Trees for Life' scheme, whereby a tree is planted for every membership enrollment and helps maintain the serene atmosphere our campers enjoy, including the special experience of camping next to our alpacas. We aim to be transparent with our pricing, which is detailed in our listing, and there are other sites locally. Our rates reflect not only the beautiful location and friendly environment but also the amenities we provide, such as our luxury bathroom and kitchen area. Many guests find these facilities add significant value to their stay. We're sorry to hear that the costs didn't meet your expectations, especially during your solo visit in a one-man pop-up tent. We believe our pricing is competitive considering the experience and services we offer, and I wonder why you booked if you felt that £56 for a two-night stay in the middle of the summer holiday was too expensive for you.

We understand that everyone has different budgetary expectations when it comes to travel and strive to offer a unique, valuable experience through our beautiful location, amenities, and contributions to conservation efforts. Nonetheless, we appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we continue to enhance our offerings. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope you find the perfect camping spot for your future travels within your budget.

Syntes om We recently had the pleasure of staying at Gatcombe and it exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning scenery and the peaceful ambiance of the location. The tipi we stayed in was beautifully furnished, offering the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. The bed was incredibly cosy, and the interior was thoughtfully decorated with warm, earthy tones that made us feel right at home.

One of the highlights of our stay was, of course, the alpacas! These gentle and friendly creatures added such a special touch to the experience. It was a delight to wake up each morning and see them grazing nearby. In addition, the hosts were wonderful.

The amenities on-site were excellent, with a clean and well-maintained bathroom area just a short walk from the tipi. There was also a fire pit where we enjoyed roasting marshmallows under the stars, creating a truly magical evening.

The location itself is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It’s nestled in a serene, natural setting, yet still close enough to nearby towns if you want to explore the area. We loved the balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Overall, our stay at Gatcombe was nothing short of perfect. It’s an ideal retreat for anyone looking to unwind in nature, enjoy the company of some adorable alpacas, and experience the charm of glamping. We can’t wait to return!

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for your lovely review, it’s warming to know our efforts are appreciated and enjoyed 😀
