A truly lovely place to stay! We had our own very large and secluded pitch with a private shower room/toilet. The facilities were a little wander down the farm lane but that was fine, in fact, we enjoyed riding our bikes back and forth! Jackie and Anthony were very helpful and made us feel very at home. There were chickens, a peacock, sheep and lovely Bella the dog living on the farm. The washing up room was great with everything we needed, we had fridge/freezer space and a large table to sit at if required. Our children loved doing the puzzles which were provided. There was also a games room for them. We drank lots of farm apple juice and ate homemade jam. The grounds of the farm are charming and we were quite taken by the idea of having so much space to enjoy. We did a 2 mile trail (provided by our hosts) and enjoyed seeing where we were staying. Just a wonderful place and we will return!

A lovely peaceful couple of days, only three camping pitches and each with their own private bathroom at the farm which was a bonus. A really spacious and private pitch from which we could watch an owl fly back and forth feeding the owlets in the tree next to our field. Pedro the peacock made regular visits to check we were OK. Chickens roosting high up in the nearby trees was a first for us. Nice friendly owners showed us around the facilities and happily advised on local walks.

Fantastic pitch, ideally located to see Exmoor and the Devon coast but feel worlds away on your secluded pitch. Only 3 pitches make this an exclusive site. The en-suite facilities are a 3 minute walk and there's a magical walk around the farm. We had our campervan and dog.

We loved our stay at Huxtable Farm. Just 3 pitches spread out around the farm gives each plenty of privacy. Location was great for us, with plenty to do nearby. Each pitch has its own bathroom, which is clean and spacious, although a little walk from the pitches (being at the main farm buildings). There is a washing up room with fridge and freezer, toaster, kettle and microwave, which is very useful. There's a little games room and some home-made produce, which is delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will return 😊

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here for 4 nights and we honestly cannot recommend this site enough! From the moment we arrived Jackie and Antony were so polite and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and they really made us feel so welcome! The farm is absolutely stunning, and we definitely recommend using the map to go exploring! It's so worth it! We weren't lucky enough to see any deer but we still saw so many animals, and the views are wonderful - even in the rain! The pitch itself was perfect. We had a stunning view of the hills and it was the perfect size for our setup. Be aware there is barely any signal once you get onto the pitch, but there is free WiFi in the communal areas which is really useful! The facilities were amazing and clean, there's even a fridge/ freezer in the communal washroom which was incredibly useful! We couldn't get over the amount of facilities here, the best I've seen at any campsite! The games room has no shortage of activities, and there's plenty of information available for places to eat and attractions to see in the local area. The little touches throughout the farm really go the extra mile, we bought apple juice and jam and really recommend giving them a try - they're delicious! Our only comment is that our bathroom came with the bath and a shower attachment. This was no issue for myself, but as my boyfriend is 6 ft 3 he struggled to use the shower attachment as it lost water pressure. That being said this is a 16th century farmhouse; so this is to be expected, and the water was always lovely and warm! Also having a private bathroom on a campsite really is an amazing luxury. Overall we had an absolutely amazing time staying at Huxtable Farm, it's definitely my favourite campsite I've been to. It's the perfect location for a romantic couples getaway, a family holiday, or even a solo trip! I really could go on about how lovely this campsite is, I cannot recommend it enough!

I was searching for a peaceful and quiet campsite and have finally found one! Huxtable Farm only has three pitches, all on different parts of the farm, and you would never know anyone else was there. My pitch overlooked the next valley. I had my own shower room and use of a kitchen with a fridge/freezer. Jackie and her husband were really friendly and welcoming as well. I couldn't fault the site. I will definitely be looking to return at some point.

Fantastic setting, lovely hosts. Very much appreciated access to communal kitchen and private bathroom. Couldn’t fault anything … bathroom was a bit further than we thought (probably didn’t read into properly!) Would absolutely return 🥰

We have just had the most relaxing few nights at Huxtable Farm. I would like to keep this place a secret but that would just be rude. We stayed on pitch 3 and the second we arrived we were awed by the view from the pitch and then the sun setting behind the village church in the distance. It was a great start to the holiday. Each pitch has its own toilet/bathroom facilities, which was a real bonus. There was a short walk to them but no long queues for showers! The shower was also nice and powerful. The washing-up room again was brilliant. Fridge freezer, microwave and toaster along with plenty of plugs if you need to charge any items. A small games room was a big hit with our son and we all enjoyed the treasure trail around the farm. If you want the feel of wild camping with a spot of luxury this is perfect.

We booked for 5 nights, but would have happily stayed 2 weeks. We booked pitch #1 (of 3), a private, secluded pitch ideal for a small family. We had woodland to one side and fields of sheep & lambs to the other. Plenty of room for games of frisbee, football, Kubb etc. We got regular visits from Pedro the peacock, a confusion of guineafowl and chickens (complete with chicks), which were always welcome. Being amongst the working farm was totally relaxing, the private shower and toilet (2 mins walk away) made this a perfect balance between camping and glamping - exactly what we were looking for and totally unique! We enjoyed local days out to Woolacombe Beach, rockpooling at Combe Martin, Segway Experience and Quad Biking, but equally enjoyed the walk around the farm where my daughter discovered a hidden community of fairies - nice touch! My 10 year old boy absolutely loved the site, being surrounded by nature and wildlife. He's obsessed with hedgehogs right now and Jackie showed him camera footage of a hedgehog entering the farm at night. She even setup the camera again for us one evening, but this time he was a no-show. All this topped off with a games room meant that for him (8 years camping, averaging 3 x per year) this was the best site he had ever been to, demanding we come back again soon. Apparently (discovered on the journey home) the addition of a few rope swings is the only way this site could be improved!!! :) Can't rate this site highly enough and cannot wait to return for longer. Can't think of a thing to improve, and hope it stays very much the same! Such a warm welcome from Jackie, Antony and Bella the dog.

Dear David, Lesley, Beatrix and George, Thank you so much for taking the time to post this wonderful review, we are extremely pleased that you enjoyed your stay and would like to return sometime. A few rope swings could be the next project!!! ;) A bat detector is available for you to use on your next visit, as well as the nature camera. Take care and thanks again, with warm regards Jackie, Antony, Pedro Peacock & Bella the dog.
