10. Offas Dyke Retreat

121km from Mortehoe · 5 units · Glamping · England

A holiday taking in two countries – a tad ambitious? Not in the slightest. Take off to Offa’s Dyke Retreat and such escapades are very easy indeed, as you’re almost on the border of England and Wales, with plenty of gorgeous scenery and outdoorsy antics on both sides of the divide. Site is set in 3 acres with new 2023 communal space, including games room sofa snug, dinning area, new wet rooms and kitchen to be complete December 2023. You can start gazing at that scenery without even leaving this friendly glamping site in the little village of Longtown, for the outlook here is one of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park. Ready for a closer look? Get those boots on and set off for a wander. The Offa’s Dyke path passes nearby on its way from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye, and there are lots of little local paths to explore too. A stroll of a much less strenuous variety (barely a 7 minute, in fact) takes you to the local pub for home-cooked meals, local ales. If you can manage a little further (a 6 minutes walk), you can get to a fab village shop stacked with fresh and frozen food, local tipples and homemade cakes. Stock up there and trot back to the site for a picnic or barbecue (firepit provided, with firewood available to buy on site), or use the well-equipped communal kitchen to prep your eats. 5 ensuite railway carriages with kitchenette, 2 pods and 3 further carriages use shared facilities on site include a toilet block with a couple of showers; no need to bring your own towels, as you’ll be provided with these when you get here, along with bedding for your cosy sleeping quarters.

3 nights at The Hobbit House and Secret Garden

Lost for words. The Hobbit House and accompanying grounds kept us warm, secluded and very happy for a three night stay. Although we would happily move in permanently. Worth a visit if you’re looking for somewhere secluded, off the beaten track and something back to basics. Kitchen area is beautifully simple in design and appreance. Toilet and separate shower block were clean and easy to use. The Hobbit House itself was snug, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Theo was an excellent host too. We will be back!

Where to go

Exmoor National Park

Stand atop England’s highest cliffs, wander the rugged moors, or explore accessible Exmoor Strolls walking paths in Exmoor National Park. Home to wild red deer and salmon spawning grounds, Exmoor’s protected areas are a unique chance to experience some of England’s most special species. Stay the night at on-site tent camping pitches, glamping accommodations, and lodgings inside the park, or seek landowner permission for wild camping in the heart of nature.

North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Discover the natural beauty around Mortehoe in North Devon AONB. Head north of the village for a stroll around historic Bull Point Lighthouse, then follow the South West Coast Path down to Morte Point to admire sea birds and spectacular sunset views. Linger overnight at waterfront tent pitches overlooking the sea, complete with conveniences like toilets, potable water, and campfire pits.

Hartland Devon Heritage Coast

Follow the trails of Hartland Devon Heritage Coast to Speke’s Mill Mouth Waterfall for a refreshing day hike, or embark on a longer journey on this section of South West Coast Path, England’s longest walking trail. Campers who love the water can chase the waves at this popular surfing destination, and then find quiet tent pitches and glamping yurts for a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

When to go

Summer is a popular time to visit the area around Mortehoe, when campers can catch the waves at Woolacombe Beach or stroll coastal paths. Book early during the busy season from June to August to score waterfront tent pitches and glamping spots. Autumn is cooler and less crowded, though still lovely for refreshing walks by the sea. Pack for wind and rain in winter, when sea storms tend to arrive.
