Gatcombe Park Farm Glamping

Μου άρεσε: 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.

Μου άρεσε: 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!

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you Emily for your lovely review it’s great to know when people enjoy the space . See you next time Phil

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

Δεν μου άρεσε: Would have been good to have a gravel path between bathroom and kitchen - less wet shoes!

Μου άρεσε: Nice enough, and good location, friendly owners…

Δεν μου άρεσε: …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.

Από τον διαχειριστή: 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.

Μου άρεσε: 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!

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

Μου άρεσε: Lovely campsite. Very easy and relaxed and would recommend. We liked the kitchen area with kettle/toaster and guide books, etc. Easy to find and there is a footpath to Totnes and to the local village - we ate out every night

Δεν μου άρεσε: Nothing

Μου άρεσε: The quietness of the site. A sanctuary of peace away from noisy children. A haven of tranquility and calmness. I liked the small freehold homestead set up, akin to a post-apocalyptic bug out for preppers.

Μου άρεσε: Really nice site! Facilities were excellent - clean showers and a little kitchen with a kettle and washing-up facilities. It was very accessible for us as backpackers without a car, as the no. 7 bus runs hourly from Totnes to a bus stop just up the road (NB it only runs twice a day on Sundays). It's also walkable from Totnes if you don't mind hills. Very quiet and chill even though the site's close to a main road. We got the additional extras of a fire pit and some eggs, which was worth doing. The neighbouring alpacas, chickens and ducks were fun. Seemed a shame that the site couldn't accommodate children as it'd be a great space for them!

Δεν μου άρεσε: Please could you put some information on the location description about how to get to the site by public transport? We walked down the busy main road to get from the bus stop to the campsite and only found out when we arrived that there was a much quieter route around the back of the fields.
