The scent of Devon hedgerows drifts across the yard at Jarvishayes Farm, where breakfast smells mingle with proper countryside quiet just outside Exeter.
This working farm offers a neat split between classic B&B hospitality and a camping pod for those who want a roof but prefer sleeping closer to the stars. It suits couples after a rural base near the city, walkers tackling the East Devon hills, or anyone wanting to ease into outdoor sleeping without full canvas commitment. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you've got a four-legged companion. The Exeter area gives you both moorland access and the South West Coast Path within striking distance.
WiFi keeps you connected if needed, though you're far enough out to properly switch off. Campfires depend on conditions and the time of year, so check when you arrive. Open year-round, it's the sort of spot that works for a winter weekend as well as a summer escape—sturdy shelter, farmland views, and a proper cooked breakfast to send you off exploring. Quietly dependable rather than showy.
