Rosebud Ranch is an off grid, 13 acre, adults only, eco friendly alpaca farm situated between Dartmoor and Exmoor in North Devon. We have lovely views, abundant wildlife and some stunning sunsets! There is a woodland adjoining our land which is home to owls, deer and many other wild animals, we often see hares playing in our fields too!
The Ranch has been built up over the last 6 years from being just fields to a working farm and home for us with our animals, a herd of alpacas, a small flock of very friendly sheep, bees, hens, horses, cats and a dog. We have used reclaimed materials for many projects including animals shelters, we are fully solar powered, we farm organically and we make rugs and horse tack from alpaca/sheep fleece!
We are known for being the first farm in the UK to offer 'alpaca yoga' and appeared on ITV This Morning with our herd, the Rosebud Alpacas. We are very passionate about wellbeing, nurturing mind, body and soul and so we pride ourselves on offering genuine connection to nature and animals in an authentic setting.
The beauty of staying with us is that you have plenty of privacy due to us not being a large site, we much prefer to offer peace and tranquillity to our guests, we have had many compliments about how our farm enables time to recharge and just be.
As the herd are located next to the tent, you will experience the true nature of the alpaca whilst they interact, feed their babies and you can watch the alpaca babies ( cria ) play. Our super friendly sheep are always close by for some attention too!
South Molton town is a 10 min drive and there are a couple of country pubs within walking distance. Our neighbours at Collacott offer riding lessons/hacks and we are within easy reach of some beautiful beaches.
Bespoke rug orders can be taken and we also sell our produce on site such as alpaca yarn, fresh eggs, soap, honey from our own bees, extra fire wood and more. We grow our own veg using horse and alpaca manure so occasionally sell the vegetables and the alpaca poop! It is in great demand, mostly because it doesn't need to be rotted down, used straight from alpaca to garden!If you stay in Dakota you will experience genuine connection to the land, the wildlife, the animals , yourself and to each other, where time does not exist and you appreciate the dark nights and of course the amazing outdoor wood fired retro bath, this is an experience not to be missed. We pride ourselves on providing our guests with privacy whilst experiencing the true nature of the alpaca. Watch the mums feed their babies, the sun go down then the stars appear whilst having a relaxing warm soak.
Dakota is a luxury 4m bell tent with double bed and hand painted furniture. Besides the woodfired bath, there is a fire pit outside along with seating and an outdoor kitchen. The alpaca herd are located in the paddock that is overlooked by the tent. There is a short walk to the compost loo.
There is parking by our cabin on hardstanding, a trolley is provided to take belongings from car to tent as there is a short walk .
There are many things to do locally such as fishing, Exmoor safaris, Quince Honey Farm is in South Molton, there is horse riding at Collacott, many visit to go surfing at our beaches or wild swimming in some of the stunning North Devon areas such as Simonsbath.
