5th Stay Celebration!🎉Last weekend we welcomed back one of our favourite regular groups - one family enjoying their 5th stay and the other two on their 4th! They had the whole site to themselves and were treated to an extra special lime & coconut cake 🍰 (yes, it was as delicious as it sounds!).
They made the most of our new football pitch ⚽ and even got to meet some new sheep who’ve just moved into our Valleyside field 🐑.
We love seeing families return year after year – thank you for making us part of your holiday memories! 💚

BEACH DAYS & NIGHTS! One of the reasons for moving to Devon nearly 8 years ago was so we could feel like we were on holiday every day. The reality is slightly different 😜 but this week the weather made us feel like we were on holiday. We took advantage of this glorious sunshine and headed to the coast post-school for some beach fun and an early evening BBQ. ☀️This is Budleigh Salterton ~50 minute drive – not only does it have this gorgeous beach but the Otter Estuary sits just behind it and is a nature reserve where you can see a variety of birdlife. An added bonus - dogs are allowed on one section so Lila could join in the fun too – check out our stories for her beach selfie! 🐾

Deer Spotting Alert! 🦌 We’ve had sightings of roe deer in our glamping field before, but never one in our garden - until now!
It was our cat Luna who first spotted it from the window, she was on high alert! 👀🙀
You can often see deer in the field opposite our riverside meadow, it’s always amazing to see!
