Luxurious, eco-friendly glamping deep in the heart of the Devon countryside

May 31 to Jun 4 4 people

Somewhere between Dartmoor and Exmoor, almost midway between the beaches of Devon’s
southern and northern coastlines, is Exe Valley Glamping. We’re not being deliberately vague
about its location; it’s just that it’s somewhere a little o the beaten track. Book here and you’ll
need to set your sat nav for the village of Bickleigh. That’s as far as four wheels will get you. After
that, it’s a ve-minute stroll through woodland to reach the site’s luxurious but eco-friendly,
family-orientated safari lodges.

Thankfully, site owner Patrick will cruise up to the village in his Land Rover to collect your luggage
so you and the kids can walk unencumbered through the trees. Although it’s the lie of the land
that’s made the woodland walk necessary, you wouldn’t blame Patrick if he’d designed it this way.
It’s a perfect introduction to rural Devon, a chance to unwind from the journey and for holiday
anticipation to grow. And when you emerge from the trees you won’t be disappointed as you nd
yourself in a grassy glamping meadow where your lodge is one of just three.

The countryside concierge feel does not end with Patrick’s luggage delivery. Step inside your safari
lodge and you’ll nd beds are made, hot water bottles provided and, if you’ve been sensible
enough to pre-order from the site’s Larder Menu, the kitchen is stocked with your choice of
goodies from locally-sourced breakfast packs to bottles of Champagne. These spacious lodges are
luxurious but not showy; tastefully decorated and designed with the environment in mind. They
are en suite but o -grid with solar energy for lighting and power for your fridge. Natural materials
and muted colours mean that the great outdoors remains the big attraction. There’s no hot tubs
or TVs but there are camp res, stars and board games instead.

The woodland walk, of course, provides a handy link back to Bickleigh, which is more than just a
place to park the car. There’s a selection of crafty shops and a tearoom in a watermill, riverside
walks, a railway museum and a pub that serves food. There’s wild swimming in the Exe too but if
you fancy a dip in the sea, Exe Valley Glamping is within an hour’s drive of sandy North Devon
beaches and closer to the shinglier ones of the south. It’s closer still to the adventures out on
Exmoor and Dartmoor - and the market town of Tiverton is just three miles away. In fact, the
‘somewhere’ that Exe Valley Glamping belongs to is not that far from anywhere in Devon. Stay
here and you might just nd there’s nowhere you’d rather be.

Facilities
Each lodge has three bedrooms; a double with a king-sized bed, a twin room (which can be
converted into a superking) and a cabin bedroom with a double mattress that’s perfect for kids.
Bedding, bed linen and towels are all provided. Each tent has its own toilet and shower room. Hot
water is warmed by a wood-burning stove that you’ll need to light yourself. The kitchen-living-
dining area of the tent is furnished with a sofa, a dining table and seating. There’s a log-burning
oven, a fridge, kettle and sink as well as cookware, enamelware crockery, glasses, utensils and
cutlery. Outside, there’s a gas hob, and seating on the veranda and each tent has an o -ground
re bowl. Firewood for this, and the wood-burning stoves inside, are supplied and sustainably
sourced from within the farm. Power in the tents comes from solar energy.

Suitable For
Glampers only; families, couples, small groups, dogs (for an extra charge) – yes. Campers,
campervans, motorhomes – no.

Nearby
You park your car by Bickleigh Mill (01884 855 419) - a rural shopping centre and tearoom/bistro
within a working watermill that’s worth a visit. From here you can join a footpath along the banks
of the River Exe for picnicking and wild swimming - or to walk the three miles to Tiverton. The
village is also home to the Devon Railway Museum (01884 855671), and Bickleigh Castle gardens
(01884 855363) which you can tour if booked in advance. There’s plenty for active families to do,
including walking, cycling, horseriding and the Dartmoor-speci c sport of letterboxing with both
Dartmoor National Park and Exmoor National Parks within a 20-mile drive of site. There’s also the
Bear Trail (01392 881780), a family adventure-assault course, 10 miles away. From Exeter
quayside, 12 miles away, you can hire bikes or paddleboards from Saddles and Paddles (01392
424241). For beaches, you can choose either of Devon’s coastlines. Saunton Sands is about an
hours’ drive (42 miles) north of site. It’s one of North Devon’s best-loved surf beaches with three
miles of golden sands. You can book surf lessons for the whole family with Surf Saunton (07837
906428). Budleigh Salterton is a closer, shingle beach (22 miles, approx 45-min drive) on East
Devon’s Jurassic Coast.

drive away and there are plenty of shops and a couple of supermarkets in Tiverton. The town also
has a farmers’ market on the fourth Friday of the month. For eating out you can’t get closer than

friendly Cadleigh Arms (01884 855238) and for a smart dinner, The Ring of Bells (01363 860111) is
a recommended pub just over ve miles from site at Cheriton Fitzpaine. To combine eating out
with a little adventure try The Turf, a bike ride away from Exeter Quay or the River Exe Café (07761

Excellent glamping experience! ★★★★★

Exe Valley Glamping is a wonderful camping experience for camping pros or rst timers. We
enjoyed the local area and really kicked back and relaxed at the site. There are some lovely Exe
ricer walks locally where we caught little sh and taught the children to skim stones. We bought a
canoe, which was also great fun and there are some lovely local canoe sites. The tent is equipped
with everything you could possibly need and we loved our time.

Thanks for the review Tom. It's always very rewarding for the team who put everything
together behind the scenes to see positive reviews and hear that you had a great time. We
look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Many thanks. 

What a place! ★★★★★

Wow! What a place! Just spent a week there with our 3 children and we had a wonderful time.
From the moment we got to the tent, having left our car 10 minutes down the hill, to the moment
we left, we have loved our stay in our luxury tent. The tent itself is superbly equipped and the “o
grid” experience is fantastic... time slows down and we have to learn to be patient again (wait for
the water to heat, hing red the wood stove, before our showers for instance). The site itself is
great the boys explored and played around the tent every day discovering animals (we saw a slow
worm, tiny frogs, etc) and just had fun in what felt like a super safe yet adventurous setting. And
the views from across the valley are rather nice too. The location itself is great: perfect base to
discover the region with Exmoor and Dartmoor as well as both coasts of Devon easily reachable. I
also had some of the best mountain biking riding i have ever done in the UK as a bonus. The only
suggestion for improvement would be to have a bit more information available about what to do
in Devon or even a guest book for people to leave their suggestions. We will de nitely come back
to this little piece of paradise!
