  • 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.

Friendly, family-run farm campsite with spacious pitches & lovely countryside views. Owners' warm welcome, farm shop with local produce, & farm animals are highlights. Showers are coin-operated & facilities can be a walk away, but it's a peaceful, relaxing stay, great for families.

Charlotte G.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Everything. Pitch was close to the toilets. Being a working farm you can walk around and see all the animals. Cows, pigs, goats, donkeys and more.
Spotless facilities. There's also a farm shop that sells everything you might need as well as a cafe.
Just make sure you either have 20ps or a pound coin for the showers.
Will definitely be coming back.

Mr P M.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked An excellent quiet location.
Farmland surroundings.
Useful farm shop and excellent cafe on site.
Spacious.
Friendly hosts.
Reasonable pricing

Disliked Facilities rather limited in quantity when busy.
No wash basins suitable for a shave - all suitable for use post the loo only (busy location, no clothes hanging)
Poor presentation/maintenance in places (eg. untidy/uncontained rubbish collection immediately inside the gate on the left and further down the track to site, overhanging ivy in the black water waste chute disposal causing a problem).
No identified recycling facilities.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Viel Platz. Der große Hofladen und das Restaurant für Frühstück und Mittagessen war bis 18 Uhr geöffnet
Wer nichts gegen ein wenig Landluft hat und Tiere will ist hier richtig. So wie man die Kinder gesehen hat haben die die Freiheit und den Platz genossen.

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.
