Leslie
We had the most wonderful stay. Our little one loved Betsy the Pig and speeding around on his bike in the field. The hot tub was lovely and the accommodation was fantastic. We will be back :)
Michelle
The safari tent has everything you need for a fabulous glamping experience the hot tub, fire pit, indoor fireplace and the amazing rainfall shower were all highlights of the property. Our children enjoyed the daily visit from the peacock and pig and other animals around the farm.
Elizabeth
Absolutely fantastic!!! Had a truly magical weekend staying inside this gorgeous safari cabin. The most beautiful setting surrounded by fields and woodlands. We loved seeing the Guinea fowl and peacock that live there. Hosts were really friendly, super helpful and very kind with supplying and bringing over extra wood so we could take full advantage of the fire pit and hot tub. The cabin is super cosy, clean and had everything we needed! The beds were also super comfy! Highly recommend!
Jonathan
Had a lovely weekend glamping on the farm with kids and dogs. Great scenery and location to visit good spots in Devon and Dartmoor is right on the doorstep. The hot tub was a challenge to get up to temperature but I think that was more my technique. Be prepared to wake early to the sound of peacock, cows, sheep and birds! Only difficulty was that w e have small dogs who were able to squeeze out with the door shut so be mindful. Would definitely recommend!!
Richard
Such an amazing place to stay. Myself , my partner and the dog were in heaven. Loved it! Its made us appreciate the beauty in life. Totally recommend!
Elizabeth
Absolutely loved the safari tent. The drive to it was a bit hard as was narrow lanes but was managed. We loved waking up to the peacock and the pig, we spent our evenings on the veranda reading or popping in hot tub. We will be back.
