  • Camping pods at a small Devon site just off the South West Coast Path
  • Adults-only site half an hour's drive from Plymouth
  • Sea views and stunning sunsets; kitchen and lounge area provided
Walking the South West Coast Path? You’ll be made very welcome at Worswell Barton Farm, a small camping pod site on a Devon farm just off the coast path near Noss Mayo. Not walking the coast path (or perhaps only a little bit)? You’re just as welcome to stay here, to enjoy the fresh sea air and the splendid sunsets that often grace these skies – the pods have all been set up to face west and have outdoor seating, so you’ll be in prime position. This is an adults-only site, so you won’t be able to bring the kids, but dogs are permitted. You’ll be staying in cosy wooden pods, each of which has comfy beds and tea/coffee-making facilities, and with bed linen and towels provided to help keep your packing list nice and short. Shared facilities include a shower and toilets, and a micro-shop stocked with basic food supplies to help guests cook evening meals and prep packed lunches for their walks. To do all that, head to the farm’s function room, which has a kitchen with a fridge, hob, microwave, toaster and air fryer. There’s also dining space here, along with table tennis for those who’ve still got some energy, and a sofa, books and board games for those that don’t. A walk along the coast path is a must while you’re here, of course – but you might like to save some energy for the walk to one of three pubs within a half-hour walk. Other outings might take you to Plymouth or Bigbury-on-Sea, although you could also stay local to try out the local beach, Cellar beach, which only appears at low tide.

Rachel A.

Camping pod

Liked Warm welcome from Jane, brilliant barn with kitchen, wet room for a shower and chill out area. Met the other guests and had some lovely chats too. Lovely little pod for sleeping with a comfy bed and extra blankets to keep me warm. There was a seat swing next to it have a lovely view of the sunset :)

Woke in the morning to bird and sheep noises and Jane also managed to squeeze me in for breakfast (extra charge, of course, but so worth it) which was superb.

It was just what I wanted, very relaxing and peaceful, and wish I could have stayed more than one night. I will be back, there's loads of walks to do around there as it's so close to the SW coast path :)

Disliked Extremely rude and hostile owner

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Suzi
I am extremely sorry you had a bad experience. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to have greeted you myself.
As you can see by our other reviews this is not the norm for us.
As a working farm we do rely on eta's and booking times being correct as there are only the 2 of us here. We don't use key boxes as we often have livestock being moved around on the farm and large machinery too, which can be dangerous. It is important we know how many are expected, and at what time so that we can keep everyone safe. You had stated an ETA of 4 - 5pm, but we waited until 8.45 pm for you. Our day starts at 5am, so to stay up late is a little tiring. We don't mind unexpected late arrivals if they keep us informed of a change in their ETA.

Camping pod

Liked We had a great one night stay here whilst walking the SW path.
Phil was great, super friendly and helpful from the moment we met him.
The pod was comfy and clean, with great views and the extra blankets made it nice and warm for a March night !
The communal space is perfect for cooking your own food and we had breakfast in the morning which was yummy.
Thanks for a great stay 👍😊
