Gatcombe Park Farm Glamping

Gatcombe Park Farm Glamping is a charming, off-grid glamping site set on a peaceful family farm near Totnes, Devon. Designed with space, simplicity, and comfort in mind, it’s a haven for families who want a relaxed countryside experience with just the right mix of luxury and nature. And best of all, Pennywell Farm — one of Devon’s most magical children’s attractions — is only a 20-minute drive away.

The glamping site features a small number of spacious bell tents, each comfortably furnished with beds, soft rugs, fairy lights, and cosy touches. Outside, each pitch has a fire pit, seating area, and private space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The bell tents sleep families with ease and create the perfect atmosphere for storytelling, stargazing, and reconnecting.

Facilities include eco-friendly composting toilets, gas-powered hot showers, a communal washing-up area, and a central kitchen shelter. The site is entirely off-grid, making it a fantastic way for families to unplug — but it’s well designed and organised, so even those new to camping will feel at home.

Children can explore the fields, meet the friendly farm animals, and enjoy the safety of a car-free glamping meadow. The surrounding views stretch across the rolling hills of the South Hams, and the setting feels a world away from everyday life.

Families staying here often plan a day trip to Pennywell Farm, and it’s easy to see why. With miniature piglets to cuddle, goats to bottle-feed, tractor rides to take, and live farm shows to watch, it’s a truly unforgettable experience for young children — and a brilliant addition to the quiet countryside base that Gatcombe Park Farm provides.

The site’s small size, eco ethos, and thoughtful layout make it a firm favourite with families who value slower-paced, meaningful getaways. Evenings around the campfire, morning walks through the dewy grass, and a day at Pennywell Farm create a rhythm that feels wholesome and restorative.
