  • Scenic farm site with direct access to South West Coast Path
  • A three-minute drive to Combe Martin beach; 15 minutes to Exmoor Zoo
  • Pizza nights and cooked breakfasts; a mile from the village centre
As you'll have seen from its pics, Girt Down Farm has a pretty dramatic setting. With direct access to the South West Coast Path and Combe Martin village centre's pubs and cafés about a mile away, it's also a mightily convenient spot for family-oriented stays. This is a working farm that’s home to Exmoor sheep and cattle; you'll most likely spot the farmer going about his daily business on his quad bike with Willow, his trusty pup. Other than those two whizzing about there'll be little to disturb you here, so make sure to pack that book you've always wanted to finish or perhaps some paintbrushes if you're feeling creative… Girt Down Farm also has an old railway carriage that's been repurposed as a chillout area where you can sit back and bask in the Devon sun (even when it's not shining quite as brightly, there are still some great vistas to be had from this undercover area). Essentials (like loos and showers) are also on hand. Barbecues are allowed here (off the ground), so feel free to get grilling. Seasonal greens are available – you're free to pick a few salad leaves to go with anything you've rustled up, but please make sure there's some left for other guests. The site staff also do cook-up nights, putting their wood-fired pizza oven to excellent use. And breakfast? A full English can be ordered the night before and picked up at the farmhouse in the morning.

What customers say

Spectacular views, peaceful setting, and super-friendly owners make this site a winner. Clean facilities, a handy communal cabin, and awesome Saturday pizza nights are big pluses. Great for coastal path access. Some note it can be exposed if windy and pitches aren't always level.

Liked What a view. The facilities were excellent and a perfect base to explore north Devon. Only a couple of flat pitches but this did not take away from a fantastic week camping here.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The view is incredible, it's very relaxed no stress everything was great. Couldn't fault our experience would return 100%

Disliked Camping on a hill but that's camping lol! My mistake for not bringing a proper camp bed nothing the farm can do about it, and wouldn't change my mind about staying again.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The view was stunning, hosts were friendly and helpful. Plenty of space.

Disliked Could do with a few more toilet/shower facilities. No ones fault but quite awkward that the couple were having a very lovely intimate time, but VERY loud. 😉 A little off putting when cooking my sausages.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely campsite with amazing views.
All the facilities are well maintained and cleaned on a regular basis.
Lots of nice little touches in the toilet / shower cabin and washing up area. Also, a very practical and functional shepherds hut with everything inside a camper could need, including sofa, dining table & chairs.
Simple recycling system with crates that were emptied every day we were there.
Great position for South West Coast Path.
A seasonal site run by a team who really care about their guests. We will definitely be back - thank you.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I loved the view out over the sea and down to Combe Martin. I enjoyed being high up, it had a great feeling from the top of the hill.
Toilets and showers were generally clean. There was cleaning solution available so you could clean before you used the facilities, if it was needed.
Good to have the little cabin for charging phones too. It was right on the SWCoast path which made walking our route easier.
Friendly site, all very easy and relaxing.

Disliked Only two toilets, so it can get busy at certain times of the day.

Local attractions

You could well find yourself shuttling your travel tribe back and forth between Girt Down Farm and Combe Martin beach (three minutes' drive), a family-friendly swimming spot with a range of cafés, bars and other eateries. Watersports fans can also get paddling here, while kayak hire is available for those who haven't brought their own. Pre-teen palaeontologists will be particularly easy to keep occupied here, as it's also home to Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (five minutes). If non-extinct creatures are called for, it's a simple 15-minute trip to see Exmoor Zoo's vast array of cute critters. Tots still got energy to expend? Take them to The Milky Way Adventure Park (45 minutes) to let off any remaining steam. This part of Devon also has oodles of natural spots worthy of your attention: on the coast, Heddon Valley (15 minutes) and Woolacombe (20 minutes) are likely to win many hearts, while inland there's Tarr Steps (40 minutes) in gorgeous Exmoor National Park.
