Birch Safari Tent, the perfect family and dog friendly glamping site, Devon

Hidden in the lush valleys of Exe Valley in Devon, Birch Safari Tent offers the perfect escape into nature. Surrounded by fields of grazing sheep with the gentle sounds of birds singing, this peaceful safari tent is as secluded as it is beautiful. Enjoy the breathtaking views of rolling hills in shades of green, brown, and yellow from the open-plan veranda while the distant whistle of a steam train adds a nostalgic element to the countryside. Indulge in the traditional Devon cream tea or toast marshmallows by the open fire as the sun sets. Birch Safari Tent comfortably sleeps up to six people, making it an ideal choice for family and friends. It is dog friendly, so your furry companions are welcome to join in the adventure. This glampsite is conveniently located near charming villages and the stunning National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor, as well as Devon’s beautiful beaches.

Inside, you will find a cosy, rustic interior with a fully equipped kitchen, seating area, private bathroom, and comfortable beds, creating a true ‘home away from home’ experience. The peaceful, secluded location offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This spacious tent comfortably sleeps up to six people, with one king-size bedroom, one twin bedroom, and one with a king-size enclosed cabin that accommodates both children and adults. There is a private bathroom with running hot water, a shower, toilet, and sink, complete with luxury skincare products from 100 Acres.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils you need, including tea and coffee facilities, a small fridge freezer, a gas hob, and a spacious dining area with a wood-burning stove to keep you warm and cosy as night-time falls.

With large windows and plenty of natural light, this safari tent can be ‘opened up’ to bring the outdoors in. Outside, cook up a feast on the firepit or toast delicious marshmallows while taking in the breathtaking sunsets.

To keep everyone entertained, especially energetic children, this glampsite offers plenty of family games and outdoor activities. The children’s play area features a swing, slide, tree stumps, and tyres to explore, plus a special bespoke mud kitchen. Dogs are welcome too, so your furry friends can join in the outdoor fun. Adults can enjoy the skittles and boules court, but don’t get too competitive!

Craving something easy and tasty? Our paella meal kits offer a delicious and convenient alternative to a BBQ. All ingredients are included, along with a pan and clear instructions, so you can cook al-fresco over the firepit outside your safari tent.

The exclusive riverside meadow is just a couple of minutes’ walk and a great place to explore. It is around seven acres, so ideal for children to run around. Why not complete the nature trail and burn some energy! With benches by the River Exe, it is an ideal place for a picnic, completed with a firepit where you can toast marshmallows and enjoy a sundowner here too.

During your stay, you'll be ideally situated to explore the beautiful countryside and coastline of Devon. Just a few minutes walking away, you can visit Bickleigh Mill, which offers a bistro and a retail shopping experience. Additionally, the Devon Railway Centre provides a fantastic train experience for children.

With its own Courtyard Bar, Games Room and Honesty Shop, this is the place you may never want to leave, and you will almost certainly want to book your next stay.

For large family gatherings you can also book the full site or Oak Safari Tent and Maple Safari Tent.
