Kedvelték Absolutely LOVED my stay here .. if utterly peaceful camping with basic but with fab facilities is your idea of camping the this place is perfect for you.

Its pin-drop quiet amongst the trees and with just 8 pitches you are literally about 500m away from anyone else. Fab hot outdoor shower, kitchen facilities with a kettle & microwave and coffee available at b'fast time.

Super welcome and friendly owner ( thank you Howard!) . 5 mins drive or 30 mins walk to a great pub ( Golden Lion) with amazing food. As a solo (female) camper this place felt super safe and really welcoming. As close to wild camping as you can get .. with a shower & coffee on site !!

Kedvelték Absolute hidden gem in Devon.

​We camped in our tent, and it was hands down one of the most peaceful camping experiences we've ever had. Pitching our tent right in the middle of a beautiful, working orchard farm was really peaceful and calming.

​The atmosphere is laid-back, the surroundings are stunning, and the hosts are fantastic. It felt less like a commercial campsite and more like we had been invited to camp in a secret, sun-dappled corner of a proper Devon farm. As a massive bonus, the cider they make right on the farm is exceptional.

We ended up bringing a few bottles home with us, though they probably won't last long.

​If you are looking for a proper, tranquil Devon camping experience with great views and brilliant cider, this is the place.

Kedvelték My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Bowhayes Farm. We pitched our tent in the orchard which was very peaceful and quiet and had spectacular views. One of the highlights was the outdoor shower, which created a seamless connection with the surrounding nature. Finally, Howard's hospitality and costumer service were impeccable. Highly recommend it. Thank you.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Hi Costanza,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

We're delighted you enjoyed your stay in the orchard and found it such a peaceful place to relax. It's lovely to hear the outdoor shower was one of the highlights too – there's something rather special about showering with the sights and sounds of nature all around you.

Thank you as well for your incredibly kind words about the welcome and hospitality. It was a real pleasure meeting you both, and we're so pleased you enjoyed your time at Bowhayes Farm.

We'd love to welcome you back again sometime. Do look out for late August and September, when the orchard is full of ripening apples and the farm takes on a whole new character before harvest.

Regards,
Fiona and Howard

We're delighted you enjoyed the peace and seclusion of the orchard. Creating a quiet place where guests can properly switch off and enjoy nature is exactly what we set out to do.

We'd love to welcome you back again sometime. Perhaps next time you'll catch the orchard in blossom or return just before harvest, when the apples are ripening and the farm takes on a whole new character.

Kedvelték The farm is really picturesque, the orchard in particular is a really ideal place to camp to keep shaded in the sunshine. Howard was a great host, pointing out some great walks and pubs in the area, and also supplied some exceptional cider made from apples from the orchard. The shower was excellent as well, it warmed up really quick, but was refreshing with a breeze on a hot day. I will definitely stay again

We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and found the orchard such a picturesque place to camp. On a warm summer's day, the shade beneath the apple trees really does make it a lovely spot to relax.

Thank you as well for your kind words about the welcome, the local recommendations, and especially the cider. There's something rather satisfying about enjoying cider made from the very orchard you're camping in!

It's also great to hear the outdoor shower was a hit.

Kedvelték Super campsite with beautiful, spacious, private pitches. The owner Howard was super friendly and accommodating, and gave excellent suggestions for food and drink and things to do in the area. The site had great amenities (inside toilet, multiple washing up stations and even a fridge and microwave!). We had a great weekend and will definitely look to stay at Bowhayes Farm again.

Thank you as well for your kind words about the welcome and the local recommendations. It's always a pleasure helping guests discover a few favourite pubs, walks, and places to explore while they're here.

We're really pleased the facilities suited your stay, and it's wonderful to hear you'll be looking to visit us again.

Kedvelték Friendly and helpful owner. Beautiful location in their apple orchard. Felt like wild camping, with just a few pitches all spread out across the orchard. The homemade cider was incredibly tasty and available to purchase on site. My favourite campsite I've been too on my 7 day roadtrip around Devon & Cornwall. The owners cat was extremely friendly and cute which was an added bonus! Highly recommend this campsite and I'll be back very soon! The highlight of my trip was finding wild otters & beavers just a 20 minute walk away, thanks to the owners helpful advice.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you so much, Jake – what a fantastic review to read.

We're delighted you enjoyed the orchard, the peaceful spacing between pitches, and that "wild camping" feel while still having a few comforts close at hand. It means a great deal to hear Bowhayes was your favourite campsite during your tour of Devon and Cornwall.

We're especially pleased you enjoyed the cider and, even better, managed to spot the otters and beavers. They can be elusive at times, so it's always rewarding when guests get to experience the local wildlife.

Thank you as well for your very kind words about the welcome – it was a real pleasure meeting you.

We'd love to welcome you back again soon. Next time, perhaps you'll catch the orchard in blossom or return just before harvest, when the apples are ripening and the farm takes on a whole new character.
