The gravel crunches underfoot as you arrive at this Devon manor house, where ancient beams and stone walls hold centuries of warmth within.
This is one for couples seeking a proper retreat or small families wanting something more sheltered than canvas — the guest house rooms offer traditional comfort, while the camping pods give you that outdoor feel with a solid roof overhead when the weather turns. It's the sort of place where you can wake to a proper breakfast, then set off exploring West Devon's lanes and moors without the faff of packing down a wet tent. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing yours along.
Year-round opening makes this a good shout for off-season breaks when most campsites have shuttered up. The facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so expect a straightforward setup focused on the accommodation itself rather than extensive campsite amenities. Campfires need checking on arrival — likely depends on conditions and where you're pitched. The vibe feels quietly traditional rather than bustling family holiday park, suited to those who value character and a bit of history with their stay.
