Tyckte om Helpful Howard. So clean and well set up.

Tyckte om Howard was lovely and really helpful and responsive. You couldn’t park near the bell tents so it was a little bit of a walk up through the orchard so be prepared to pack light or lug your kit. Howard provided us with wheelbarrows to help which for us just added to the whole experience but appreciate this may not be for everyone. The site was well kept and exceptionally clean. The camp kitchen was basic but had everything you needed. The shower and toilet facilities were also very clean. We stayed in the Michelin bell tent which was spacious and cosy- the mattress and pillows were very comfortable. If you’re wanting an escape without having to travel miles from civilisation I highly recommend. Thanks for accommodating the three of us.

Tyckte om 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 !!

Top of the orchard with views of Neighbouring farms and incredible clear skys at night of the stars. We brought some of his own ciders which were very taste so definitely buy yourself some which your visit.

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte om 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.

Från föreståndaren: 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

Från föreståndaren: Thank you so much, Jon.

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.

Tyckte om 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

Från föreståndaren: Thank you so much, Stephen.

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.

We'd love to welcome you back again. 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.
