The scent of moorland heather drifts through the valley here, and on still mornings you'll hear little more than birdsong and the distant bleat of sheep across the Devon hills.

Annacombe offers a proper mix for groups or families who want a base with a roof but fancy keeping some camping in the mix — there are pods for those who like sleeping close to the outdoors, plus guest house rooms for anyone who'd rather have four solid walls and a proper bed. It's the kind of spot that works when you've got different preferences in the same party, or when the weather forecast looks dodgy but you're determined to be out in the countryside anyway. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing yours.

Open all year, so it's there for those off-season escapes when most campsites have shut their gates. Check the campfire situation when you arrive — policies can shift with the seasons and the ground conditions. The vibe's relaxed and rural, a quiet retreat rather than a bustling campsite scene.
