About Giddy Farm

Tucked away near Ilfracombe, Giddy Farm earns glowing praise for its peaceful setting and genuinely warm welcome. Guests love the well-maintained facilities and spotless shower blocks, while the dog-friendly policy means four-legged friends can join the adventure.

Had an amazing night here, partner booked it last minute for us and my daughter, location was amazing , each bell tent has its own little grass area with a bench , bbq and fire pit. The host was amazing and nothing was to much trouble. She meet us on arrival and she took all our cases and sleeping bags ect down to the bell tent in her trailer on her tractor , my daughter loved it. Was very helpful about the local area are directions to the shops ect. The toilet, shower area and sinks was very clean, and maintained by the host daily. Amazing stay and will definitely be back again.

Wonderful weekend stay with the added bonus of looking out for the meteor shower. Lovely location and love the 'back to basics' relaxed feel where it's nice to escape the modern world. Had a nightmare in terms of our car breaking down whilst visiting the beach in Woolacombe and our hosts couldn't have been more genuinely helpful if they tried. From offering us a lift back to camp to firewood to keep us warm and a charging lead to enable us to charge our phones after we had left ours behind. Literally cannot thank them enough in making our first year anniversary the fabulous getaway that it was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all at Giddy Farm...we will be back and will be bringing Dexter with us too. Love from Kaye, Gary and of course Dexy...because we know he'll love it too on our next visit x
