Safari Tent - Buttercup Safari TentSep 2024

i can't say enough wonderful things about Sunsets and Marshmallows. The safari tents are spacious, beautifully appointed, clean and super comfortable even for 6 adults. As well as the large veranda, each tent has an extremely generous outside area with a gorgeous firepit and circle of tree truck stools, perfect for marshmallow toasting (fork provided), top range gas BBQ and picnic bench for outdoor dining. The hot tub is continually hot and easy to use. The welcome pack contained high quality, local produce. The owners, Nicola and Chris, couldn't do enough for us - we felt very well looked after from the minute we booked and from the moment we arrived to the minute we left. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing!

Safari Tent - Orchid Safari TentSep 2024

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights with our friends. The location was lovely, close enough drive to Exeter, but enough out of the way of everything else. Nicola and Chris were amazing hosts, welcoming us when we arrived, supplying us with some lovely bits for breakfast and we felt they had gone above and beyond with the little things (like the hot water bottles and blankets for example), definitely made me feel at home! The tent was clean and tidy, it was stocked with everything you'd need for the weekend. The weather wasn't brilliant while we were there but we were still warm enough! I would definitely visit again and it's definitely something a bit different to usual!

Fantastic family break

Safari Tent - Orchid Safari TentJul 2024

What a fantastic place to take the family. The owners were so helpful, the safari tent well equipped and the little extras so thoughtful. From the hot chocolate with marshmallows (which my daughter loved) to the fresh orange in the fridge when we got there. Gorgeous bread on the side. So often you get a safari tent with just the basics. This had everything and more. My eldest daughter fell in love with the hanging egg chair. The BBQ was a very nice touch as usually we need to use the fire pit but here we could have both. This was fantastic, would recommend to anyone.
