The smell of Devon earth after rain and the sound of nothing but birds — Barfield Cottage sits in proper countryside quiet, the kind where you notice the hedgerows.

This is a straightforward site for tent campers, caravanners and motorhomers who want space without fuss. You're deep in South West lanes here, classic Devon patchwork of fields and high-banked roads, so it suits anyone after a rural escape — couples touring the region, families happy with simple pitches, maybe retirees doing a slow loop of the coast and moors. The facilities are kept simple: showers and loos onsite, nothing fancy.

Expect a low-key, owner-run feel rather than a holiday park vibe. Campfires depend on conditions so check when you arrive — often fine if it's been wet, banned in a dry spell. It's the sort of spot where you pitch up, crack open a camp chair, and remember why you like canvas and grass in the first place.

South West Coast Path (Section 7: Instow to Westward Ho! )

National Trails logoNational Trails

Follows Devon's north coast along clifftops and sandy beaches with gentle inclines and some steeper sections near Abbotsham Cliff. Suitable for families with older children who can manage 3-4 hours walking, though not buggy-friendly due to uneven coastal paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards with sweeping Atlantic views, rock pools at low tide, and charming seaside villages – quintessential South West Coast Path scenery without the leg-burning climbs found further south

South West Coast Path (Section 8: Westward Ho! to Clovelly)

National Trails logoNational Trails

Follows dramatic clifftops between two iconic North Devon villages, with steep, strenuous ascents and descents throughout—definitely not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. The coastal scenery is outstanding, passing through ancient woodland at Hobby Drive and offering sweeping Atlantic views, but requires good fitness and sturdy boots for the rocky, uneven terrain and challenging gradients.
