Fantastic glamping tent that is really well equipped. Comfortable beds and excellent shower, the hot tub, log burner and fire pit are all great additions. Lovely quiet surroundings tucked away from the hustle and bustle. If you want a quiet break its perfect but its also not too far from Plymouth, Torquay and Totnes should you want to visit them. RRead moreeally enjoyed a short break and will definitely return. Hide

Beautiful remote place, loads of wildlife and percy the peacock was a real hit!! Was cosy by the fire and the hot tub was lovely!! Watching the bats flying around in the evening was amazing!!
Alexandra
Superb accommodation. Hot tub and fire pit are a great addition. Need to keep dogs on the lead as poultry present! Julie was very welcoming and helpful throughout answering any questions we had immediately.
Neil
Amazing time, beautiful surroundings, loved heating up the hottub manually and the inside burner in the safari tent, I would definitely do it again!!.
Craig
Lovely stay in the dart safari tent.
Anys
Beautiful location. Excellent accommodation. Everything was easy to find and use. The beds were comfortable and the shower hot. In terms of location you do need a car but the supermarket is close by and most attractions in Dartmoor are 20-40 minutes away. Plus being surrounded by the farm animals was an added bonus for both our children.
Jessica
We stayed in the most fantastic safari tent for the weekend and it was incredible. Most definitely a 10 out of 10 holiday. The owners were so accommodating and helpful. Everything was very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend it.
