Set on a raised platform with a commanding view of the North Devon countryside, this impressive glamping retreat offers the chance to live like kings under canvas and immerse yourselves in nature in style. Sleeping six guests and welcoming two well-behaved dogs, the property is situated in a private field and features access to beautiful off-lead walks down to the river across a further 200 acres. Venture 10.5 miles to the bustling town of Bideford, with its independent shops, eateries and market. Pack your swimming or surfing gear and venture 14 miles to the golden sands of Westward Ho!. Delightful Appledore, with its narrow streets, colourful houses and galleries, is the same distance, catch the ferry from here over to Instow. Hire bikes in Torrington and cycle along the Tarka Trail or plan a family trip to The Big Sheep farm and theme park, 14 miles away.
Return from long walks and cycle rides to climb six steps up to the huge timber, glass-balustraded veranda of this serene holiday hideaway. Ideal for groups of friends and relatives, it offers stylish, high-quality accommodation where you can be at one with your picturesque surroundings. Enter to find yourselves in an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where rustic meets chic. This gorgeous living space features an abundance of natural wood, a vaulted ceiling and ample space for everyone to spread out. Light the wood burner and sink back into the comfortable seating to watch the Smart TV. Prepare light meals in the kitchen area on those occasions you choose not to cook out in the fresh air, then dine together at the wooden table. When you are ready to turn in for the night, choose between the king-size bedroom, the twin or the delightful double, tucked away in a cosy cabin. The lodge comes with its own modern shower room with a WC. Guests are welcome to meet and join in with feeding the animals on the farm, including: Daphne and Delilah (the gentle rescue donkeys), Dave and Roy (the playful young donkeys), Joe and Ferdie (the horses), the cheerful ex-battery hens, Rufus, the retired guide dog and his sidekick pup, Daisy, plus the growing family of rescued pigs and sheep.
Savour the glorious opportunities for outdoor living at this special getaway. Kick back and relax as you doze in the swinging hammock, bask beside the glowing fire pit or open a bottle of wine on the veranda and simply enjoy the far-reaching views. As night falls, toast marshmallows in the flames and look for shooting stars in the clear, dark skies. When the sun rises, look out for deer in the early morning mist. Challenge each other to lively tournaments in the shared games room, featuring darts and a table tennis table. There is private parking for two cars.
