Girt Down Farm

A aimé Gives the impression of bare basic camp but actually has a lot of amenities tucked away toward the bottom of the hil. There was a community hut with a table, chairs, some items to borrow like a firepit or wind breaker (wish I'd spotted that sooner!), fridge freezer; a porta cabin with 2 showers, sinks, toilets; and an outside wash station. All with hot water. All cleaned regularly. We didn't check the wifi, but mobile coverage was very good.

If you wanted, a bucket of wood, tinder, and kindling it can be bought from the farmer, who will drop it off at your pitch and make sure you have everything you need.

The view is indeed spectacular, and you have plenty of room between pitches. Even if you were close enough, the wind would drown out most other noise. You are indeed exposed! Bring some warm clothes, even if you plan to sit round the fire. But don't overload the fire pit if gusty, or you will be chasing a tumbling fire log as we saw happen on another pitch!

We only stayed the night, but my 6 yo boy was enamoured with the place, and was excited to show me how to roast marshmallows for smores. The huge open field, the view of Combe Martin at the bottom of the valley and sea is beautiful. There seemed to be a few trails to explore, and you are only 15 minutes from Watermouth Castle.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike, we stayed during heavy rain spells with 20mph winds gusting to 32mph and it was still a lovely place to revisit!

Just check the weather, prepare for wind. Jet stove recommended if you're not using windbreak, a firepit, or getting takeout.

A aimé Great campsite. Would recommend having more toilets at the top of the field as it’s a long walk down to the bottom. There is one porta loo in the middle of the field but this was full on our last day, so could not use this.

A aimé Beautiful campsite with views over the sea to die for!

The campsite was spotless, facilities are regularly cleaning throughout the day and restocked.

Loved that there is a small cabin with which you can use the fridge or freezer, get yourself a hot drink or make use of the table and chairs.

The owners were so friendly and able to offer some great recommendations for beaches or attractions that we’d enjoy as a family

A aimé Great camp site. The views were amazing and it felt a privilege to cook outside looking down towards Combe Martin. The owners are really friendly and although we stayed on a very busy weekend the toilets and showers were kept really clean. Would recommend with out a doubt.
