  • Friendly and traditional farm site with fantastic views over Exmoor
  • A 15-minute drive from Tiverton and half an hour from Exmoor
  • Small shop selling farm produce including free-range milk and meat
‘Traditional and uncommercial’ is how the owners of West Middlewick Farm describe their home, making it a champion choice for a chilled break in mid-Devon countryside. It’s also rather a pretty place to have a hol. On arrival, eye up the excellent views out over Exmoor National Park from the main site, a four-acre field circled by farm walks, then amble over to the carp fishing lake to angle for the afternoon. It’s not just about peaceful pursuits hereabouts, though – the Gibson family who own the site say there’s plenty to do, spanning from theatre and film to history and heritage, in the nearby area. Tiverton (15 minutes’ drive) is home to a castle and edges a canal, while Exmoor (half an hour) has walking trails, a cracking coastline and historic villages to explore. Back at the park, a small shop sells the farm’s produce – including raw milk and free-range meat – and stocks other locally sourced ingredients such as butter, cheese, ice cream, fresh fruit and vegetables, jams, chutney and Devon fudge too. Fancy picking up a souvenir? Homemade soap and sheepskin are top trinkets to take away. And as for food? Spread out on your spacious, level pitch for a picnic or pull up a pew at one of the nearby and order a freshly cooked meal.

Camping pod

Liked: 🌟 Liked

We had a really great stay at this campsite! It was very affordable, which made it easy to book last minute, and it was lovely and quiet throughout our visit. The campsite was clean, with beautiful scenery all around, and it was very easy to get to. As advertised, we had full access to the farm, which was a nice touch, and some of the farm and shop staff were really friendly and helpful.

We loved the cooking facilities right next to our pod – the convenience of having a water tap and electricity point nearby was a big plus. The camping pod itself was really well insulated, so we didn’t even need to use the heating! The kids enjoyed playing in the hammocks, and the farm shop was a great bonus with lots of fresh produce. There was also plenty of parking, clean toilets, and the campsite allowed us to arrive late and didn’t rush us out in the morning, which made the whole experience feel really relaxed.

Disliked: 👎 Disliked

There were just a few small issues that could be improved. The biggest one was that there was no hot water in the toilet block or for dishwashing, which made cleaning pans after a fried breakfast pretty much impossible 😂. We also found that a couple of the farm staff just completely blanked us when we said good morning, which was a bit awkward.

Finally, when we arrived, there was a small white tablet left on the side in our pod – could have been absolutely anything. Thankfully, we spotted it before our child did, but it did give us a bit of a scare.

Liked: Loved our stay! Very simple site, just what we wanted. Lovely views and nice and quiet.
Being able to see the farm animals was a real bonus, and the farm shop sold some really lovely things - kids loved the chocolate and strawberry milk (made from their own milk).
Owners were extremely friendly and helpful, thank you ☺️

Local attractions

Clip-clop around the countryside from The Rose & Crown in Calverleigh, which organises horse riding lessons (15 minutes’ drive), or take to Tiverton (around the same distance) to poke around the town’s castle and meander by its canal. Another place to peer at is Knightshayes Court, a turreted house and garden with a tearoom (25 minutes), while Bickleigh Mill – dating back to the 18th century and with a pottery studio for clay-based classes – is also worth a gander. If you’ll be keeping adventures alfresco, set off on the scenic Tarka Line rail journey, starting in Exeter (40 minutes) and finishing in Barnstaple. Or for more lovely landscapes, loop around Exmoor National Park (half an hour), perhaps up to the lush coastal villages of Lynmouth and Lynton and through the vast Valley of the Rocks (an hour). If sandy sunbathing sessions are more your bag, turn in the opposite direction towards Exmouth beach on the south Devon coast (also an hour), stopping by estuary villages like Topsham enroute for a pint at a pub with a watery view.
