You will be staying in a brand new, furnished, 5m bell tent, nestled in a private corner at the top of our nature-friendly field just outside Dartmouth. We have a 4 acre field where we currently live in a static caravan in the opposite corner to the tent, while we wait to build our own eco-bungalow. You may see us around at a distance but we'll give you as much privacy as possible. There is a king size bed with sprung mattress, plus two single futons as chairs which can become beds for extra guests/children. Bedding & towels provided. Our meadow is a work in progress. The field was intensively ploughed and grazed for many years, but over the last 2 years we have allowed nature to come back across most of it, planted many native and fruit trees, started a small flower farm and created both a veg and soft fruit patch. We are trying to provide as much nature habitat and biodiversity as possible and we have swallows, skylarks and many other birds, and if you're really lucky you may catch a glimpse of our resident hare or see our visiting barn owl. Parking is at our gate entrance, and it is a 200m walk up a gentle slope to the tent. You'll go through our newly-planted orchard and veg patch and may see our free-ranging bantam hens on your walk. We can provide a trolley for luggage and help you get it to your pitch if you'd like. An off-grid gas shower with eco-friendly toiletries, and compost toilet are available for your stay. These are a 100m flat walk from the tent. You'll also have shared access to a log cabin with power sockets for charging phones and a kettle with tea and coffee making facilities. You'll have a fire pit and gas camping stove to cook on, and a kit of all the pots/pans and utensils you'd need for a campfire meal. There's an open air washing-up station and we'll provide you with eco-friendly washing up liquid, brushes etc. We're less than 10 minutes drive to Dartmouth with its range of shops, cafes and restaurants and even closer to the stunning Blackpool Sands beach. The rest of the beautiful South Hams is on the doorstep. We're committed to making our site as welcoming, inclusive and accessible as we are able and want to share fresh air and nature connection with as many people as possible.
