About Giddy Farm

Welcoming both families and dogs, this glamping site is the ideal spot to escape the modern world for a peaceful back-to-nature glamping experience. Surrounded by North Devon's beautiful countryside and within an easy drive of Saunton Sands and Woolacombe! Stargazing is fantastic at this site, thanks to the brilliant dark skies. There are just four bell tents onsite, one sleeping up to three with two single futons and an extra single airbed if needed. The others sleep up to five with a double futon and up to three single airbeds if required. The bell tents are equipped with thick mats and soft rugs. Please bring your own bedding and camping equipment. Outside each is a picnic bench, fire pit and BBQ for relaxing evenings in the open, toasting marshmallows. Be sure to sit back and gaze up and enjoy the starry night sky above, you might even catch a glimpse of a meteor shower! The site is just a ten minute drive from the beaches at Watermouth, great for days of swimming and sunbathing, or head to the harbour at Ilfracombe and stroll around the pretty town and shops. There is also plenty of space around for games, and be sure to say hello to the goats! Dogs are welcome in the bell tents, but please ensure that they are kept under control at all times due to working farms nearby. One dog is included in your booking, you may add an extra for a small fee. Campfires and BBQs are permitted in the provided fire pits. Firewood can be purchased onsite. Guests are advised to bring a torch with them as parts of the site are unlit.

A note from the site themselves...

Our site is in the beautifull North Devon countryside where we call home. Its important to us that we take care of the environment and protect all the wild animals and birds that visit our little farm. We work hard to be eco friendly and sustainable and we are always trying to improve habitats for the wildlife including planting hedges and trees.

It's a real privilege to be able to share all of this with our guests. We have tried to create a simple campsite that we would want to go on holiday to but with all the facilities you need to make it a lovely place to stay.

We hope to welcome you soon, Gina and Joe

Bell Tent - 5m Bell TentsAug 2024

Gina was amazing from booking until leaving. She kept us updated and shared important information with us before our arrival. Loved the pizza oven and the view. Tent was a good size and was provided with futon bed, BBQ, fire pit and picnic bench. Ideally located to Ilfracombe and Woolacombe with a 10-15 min drive.

Bell Tent - 5m Bell TentsAug 2024

We stayed at Giddy Farm for 4 nights, how I wish I could have stayed longer haha. Lovely, unique breath-taking views all round the campsite, you can't get much better for views and night skies. Gina and Joe were super accommodating and went above and beyond for us. Brilliant local attractions. We have bookmarked the campsite as a gem of a campsite and am sure will be back in the near future. Thanks for having us, photos attached of moon shot one night and landscape image just to show how lovely the surrounding areas are Would highly recommend.

Site's response
