Idyllic spot overlooking the dart estuary. 5 tents with superb views down to the shore. The tents have no electricity, but are amply supplied with wood, candles, tea lights, paraffin lamps - there's no problem with light & heat. There's an honesty shop on site, with a charge bank for phones etc. Getting into town is straightforward - 15 min walk down the road, or 20 mins through fields. Great place to spend a couple of weeks 🙂

Absolutely wonderful place. The location is out of this world, I wanted to sit and look out at the view all day. There’s a really beautiful walk to the coastal path and a beach close by. The huts are amazing! I was so surprised by how much room we had inside. Ample cooking facilities and equipment inside and out. A warm shower! What a treat. The fire kept us warm in the evening whilst we played cards under candlelight. The host was super helpful and always around (with his friendly dogs). It was a truly special weekend spent in nature. Thank you!!
