Enjoy the comforts of home in nature — including real toilets, showers, and kitchen.

Moorland Holt is a private hideaway nestling in a corner of south east Dartmoor, where a stunning 4m lotus belle tent offers a unique camping experience in a peaceful meadow glade surrounded by woodland, adjacent to open moor. This will be an offgrid experience but with the luxury of a 'proper' toilet and shower. The space includes a field kitchen equiped with a gas burner and cold box, along with a firepit for BBQ, campfire cooking, or just toasting marshmallows under Dartmoor's famous night sky. Moorland Holt is a nature-lovers paradise, home to a wide variety of insects and birds, as well as resident tawny owls, and with fallow, roe and red deer, badgers and foxes regularly passing through. Stoats and lizards have also been known to make an appearance. Our location is secluded and peaceful, and with only 1 unit you get the whole place to yourself. It's ideal for walkers and those who want to be immersed in the wilds of Dartmoor, but is easy to reach from the A38 (Devon Expressway), and is just 10 minutes from the historic stannery town of Ashburton. It's 15 minutes walk to Buckland Beacon with views to the coast, and stunning night skies, and just 10 minutes walk to Ausewell Wood, one of Dartmoor's rare temperate rainforests ( looked after by the Woodland Trust and English Heritage) which includes wild, rugged wood and heath with dramatic rocky outcrops. As well as nearby Ashburton, with a 12th century inn and award winning restaurants, just 10 minutes in the opposite direction is the moor town of Widecombe, an ideal destination for a morning's walk and pub lunch. Landmark tors are also within a 10-minute drive, including one of Dartmoor's most popular attractions Haytor, and neighbouring Hound Tor. The River Dart is 20 minutes drive away, the famous medieval clapper bridge less than half an hour and Devon's stunning coast within 40 minutes drive. Our Moorland Holt lotus belle tent is kitted out with a standard double bed but an extra air mattress could be added for a third person, but please note the site is not suitable for young children. One dog would be welcome but would need to be on a lead or tethered at all times to protect wildlife and livestock as the site is not secure.The lotus belle is no ordinary bell tent, and this one comes with a luxury insulated liner to keep you cosy on chilly nights, as well as helping to keep the tent cool on hot summer days. It's a hybrid design and comes with two doors, both with insect mesh to let air in and keep the bugs out. Our 4m tent offers plenty of room for two, with a proper double bed and memory foam mattress, with 100% cotton sheets for that touch of luxury. There are also comfortable bean bag chairs (that can be taken outside), and a hanging rail for clothes. There is a spacious porch that offers extra protection on rainy days and a place to leave wet coats and muddy boots. Next door is a field kitchen equiped with a gas burner, BBQ and Igloo cold box (along with ice packs replaced daily), sturdy food storage, a washing up sink and everything you need to be self-sufficient during your stay. We will supply water for washing up and cooking but please bring drinking water. There is also a campfire pit for those wanting to while away the evenings with a fire, or have a go at a campfire BBQ. The lotus belle is pitched in a peaceful meadow surrounded by a small woodland of mixed trees that you will get all to yourself. This will be an offgrid experience but with the luxury of a 'proper' toilet and shower (towels provided) that is less than 2 minutes walk from the tent. We will also charge your phone battery pack if required.

Moorland Holt Lotus Belle

Nestled in the heart of a gorgeously wild yet maintained plot of land, the bell tent setup was really convenient, it was close enough to the owners to feel safe and able to ask for anything but far enough to feel independent and surrounded by nature. Inside the tent were soft beds, big pillows, and a carpeted floor, creating a very comforting space. Thoughtful touches like a small bookshelf and lanterns added a personal touch and made it feel totally welcoming. The toilet, although closer to the owners' home, was better than any camping bathroom I've been to. Throughout our entire stay, the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of crickets made a magical soundtrack, enhancing the overall sense of tranquility. There are two gorgeous and very different scenic walks that are a very reasonable distance, one being a 360 view of the moors, the other being a circular walk around an ancient woodland. Both are an experience that rejuvenated the soul. My mum and I have been left with a lasting impression of peace and definitely hope to return 🥰
