About Exe Valley Glamping

Nestled in the Axe Valley, this peaceful glamping site is ideal for an escape from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. Surrounded by glorious countryside, woodland walks and riverside trails, it is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The site offers just four safari tents welcoming up to six guests each. Each tent provides the ultimate off-grid getaway for friends or family with plenty of space for everyone to unwind. Inside each tent, you will find a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom which can be converted into a large super king, and a cosy double cabin bedroom, perfect for kids with a canopy and under-bed storage. There is a large living area with a comfy sofa, a dining table and chairs and plenty of board games for family game nights! For cooking up that essential full English breakfast, there is a fully equipped kitchen which comes with a fridge, gas hob, log burning oven, sink, pots, pans, crockery, utensils and extras such as salt and pepper. You will also have a modern ensuite shower room. Outside your tent is a private wrap-around veranda where you can marvel at the surrounding landscape. Here you will also find outdoor furniture, an al fresco dining area and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows under a starlit sky. Four-legged friends are also more than welcome, with up to two allowed per tent. You can even have a dog matt, bowl, towel and treats added to your booking so your pup is more than catered for.

Exe Valley Glamping is open from 28/03 to 03/11 in 2024 and from 28/03 to 06/11 in 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

The site was established by the father and son team, Robin and Patrick. They both wanted to diversify their family farm and encourage responsible and sustainable tourism, this led the two country enthusiasts to settle on a glamping site.

Patrick has over 20 years of experience in hospitality. Patrick decided to move his young family back to Devon and felt this was the perfect opportunity to apply his experience to something much closer to his heart.

Safari Tent - Badger SettAug 2024

We were so impressed with the campsite and the tent. It was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend it to everyone and anyone. We stayed as a family and the kids loved it. The tent was fully equipped with everything we could need and had little personal touches. We will definitely visit again.

An amazing stay at Exe

Safari Tent - Badger SettAug 2024

What a fantastic trip to this Glamping spot. The area is absolutely beautiful, peaceful but in such a great location to many areas. Walkable to 2 great pubs! Roger is such a great guy helping out whenever needed and the kids absolutely loved a ride on the quad carrying the luggage. Glamping tent was clean and had everything needed for a great stay. Beds were really comfy and the kids especially loved the bunk bed. Would 100% return again and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely site

Safari Tent - Foxes EarthAug 2024

We had a lovely stay here. The children loved being collected by quad bike with our luggage. Everything was easy to use and the beds and bedding were lovely. The children loved the bunk style bed too. The entrance to the site is via a long farm track, which if you have a low car or the weather is bad, might be a bit tricky. The set-up was perfect for being based at the camp, but I wouldn't have wanted to drive in and out many times, if, for example, we were wanting to venture out for dinner or day-trips (which we didn't). Bickleigh has a nice mill shop and the pub looked lovely. The setting of the site is stunning and it is lovely and quiet.
