Relaxing stay
What a beautiful place to stay! Emily is a lovely host and the set up is perfect. There’s everything you’ll need for a comfortable off grid night. Showers and kitchen were spotless and beds are comfy. The hot water bottles and extra blankets were great as it was cold at night. A lovely stay, will definitely come again.

Unplugged Bliss: A Five-Star Tent C
Imagine the symphony of nature replacing the constant buzz of urban life. That's tent camping. A weekend tent trip grants a five-star ticket to simplicity, where the hustle is traded for serene sunsets and digital screens for starlit canopies.
My experience of tent camping was restorative and exhilarating, with the bonus of an organic alarm clock—the sweet chirps of morning birds. The tent became my humble abode, snuggly and secure, a personal pocket in the wilderness. The campfire crackled with camaraderie, melting marshmallows and barriers between fellow outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Sure, luxury is nice, but the lush greenery, crystal-clear air, and the refreshing absence of Wi-Fi brought a different kind of richness. Every deep breath was a luxury, and every view was a masterpiece.
If nature's serenade isn't lure enough, the practicality of tent camping seals the deal. It’s affordable, adventurous, and the perfect setting to forge unforgettable memories. Whether it's a solo expedition or a group quest, tent camping is a timeless pursuit, delivering unadulterated joy and an epic tale to tell.
Emily our host greeted us on arrival and showed us around. Highly recommended place to stay and soak in Nature.

Relaxing birthday treat
What a perfect girls trip to celebrate my friends birthday, just the two of us and it was exactly what we needed. The safari tent is set on such beautiful land, surrounded by fields and fields as far as the eye can see, so picturesque. We had a fab nights sleep, the beds are so comfy and the stove kept the tent toasty. The sounds of the wildlife, the owls, deer, cows, sheep, birds, paired with the dark skies night whilst roasting marshmallows was magical. The larder/ tuck shop was a great idea so for a small charge you can buy breakfast bars, cereal, soup, crisps etc, there was also a fridge in there too.
Our host JT was really welcoming and helpful, sounds like next year there are plans for a games room possibly which would be a great addition.

We loved the safari tent!
Very spacious and beautiful decking with views.
You’ll need to bring torches and lights for the evenings as there isn’t any light at all in the tent and the torches/lights provided didn’t have many batteries working.
The kitchen in the tent has a really good gas job and kettle. No running water, but this is down in the shared kitchen. I would say to bring a kitchen towel and some cloths or oven gloves as nothing to support with the hot pans when cooking.
Beds are really comfortable and bedding provided.
Shared kitchen down a little hill (2 minute walk) with hot water, sink, washing up liquid, kettle and a honesty shop. But a few items out of date and fridges not cleaned in a while.
Private bathroom with plumbed toilet, cold water sink, hot plumbed shower, just bring your towels and hand towels.
Also, a gas heater provided to keep warm.
Just west layers of clothes and snuggle up!
Overall would definitely come back, but now a little more knowledgeable of little amenities not provided.

Canvas Lodge in Wildflower Meadow
We had a truly wonderful stay at Deer Barn Retreat. As a family of four and with a dog we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The relaxed views and the fact that there is only one other tent on the site appealed to us. The canvas lodge itself is very comfortable, great linen and all the equipment you could ask for. Each tent has its only bathroom which is a very short walk from the lodge and a kitchen with an honesty shop proved very useful.
We found the location great for both North and South Devon visits.
Thank you John, Mike and Emily and we will definitely be back soon.
