The smell of toast and strong tea drifts from the guest house kitchen while woodsmoke curls from the pod field beyond — this is camping with a safety net, tucked into the red Devon hills around Tiverton.
Perfect for campers who want a proper bed as backup or families mixing generations under one booking, The Quarryman's Rest offers both camping pods and guest house rooms. It's canal country here, all towpath walks and market-town pubs, with Exmoor's edge close enough for a day on the moor. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're bringing one.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so check what's included with your pitch type when you arrive — some pods are fully kitted, others more basic. Campfires are sometimes allowed but need confirming on the day, depending on conditions. Open all year, it's the kind of place that works for a winter escape as much as a summer week, with that rare mix of outdoor sleep and indoor comfort when the weather turns.
