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! 🐾

🎣 A GREAT CATCH! 🐟 Planning a glamping getaway with us this year and love fishing? Don’t forget to pack your rod!
Matt recently had a reel-y exciting session along the River Exe with expert tuition from English fisherman Lewis Hendrie – and landed this whopper of a brown trout!
As well as our own private stretch of the River Exe another great local fishing spot is the peaceful Grand Western Canal – perfect for a relaxed day by the water.
👉 Tag your fishing buddies who would love a glamping + fishing escape in Devon!

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!
