Naturally Glamping
Newton Abbot, Devon, England
Stay in a beautiful bell tent in the Devon countryside. Looking for cosy couples’ getaways under canvas or an adventure packed weekend with friends? Get away from the hustle and bustle and stay in a beautiful bell tent in the Devon countryside. Set up, ready for your arrival, glamping is the perfect way to camp! This peaceful home away from home, with lakeside views and woodland walks makes for splendidly soothing hols. The sloping meadow, with levelled pitches, offers breath-taking views. A stream meanders down the hillside from a small pond at the top, down to a lake at the bottom of the field, connecting to a river in the valley below. A vast wall of trees, and miles of woodland walks in Haldon forest lies beyond! This secluded site is something of a wildlife haven. With no site lighting, and minimal (solar) lighting at the pitches, it’s perfect for spotting glow worms and bats at night. Here you’ll have access to uninterrupted vistas of trees, a fishing lake and a small river, and miles of woodland forest trails. (Which connect up to a choice of different pubs within 30 mins walk.) Or go for a wander to say hello to the horses living on the farm. There are never more than 10 pitches in the 2.5 acre field (even on a busy summer holiday weekend), so there is plenty of space. Bell tents are spaced a minimum of 10 metres apart from one another, for your privacy. If you have friends/family that would like to join, message us for availability and we’ll aim to arrange you to stay in pitches close to one another. The tents can squeeze another single bed in too, if you have a 3rd person (at a small extra fee). DOGS: Dogs are allowed, but the site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act and/or any of the following: Staffordshire bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Rottweiler, any Mastiff or Tosa. PARKING/ACCESS: We have 3 different car parks. For 4×4 owners and braver drivers, there’s parking very close to pitches. For others, access from the main car park involves a 200-metre walk down a steep track, which can be slippery at times. (Wheelbarrows provided for your gear.) Please note, this site is not suitable for the less able. The tents are self check in, but good signage and a site map should enable you to find your pitch on your own. (We provide a contact number for any inquiries and there is someone on-site in case of emergencies.) Please note there is a lot of water around (stream, pond, small lake and river) and you are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of any children that you bring. The site is on a working farm and there are lots of horses around.
