For canines who love country adventures, this safari tent makes a fabulous base for days of energetic walking in the fresh Devon air. With room for six people and two perfect pups, it boasts an enclosed deck with panoramic views, and shares a children’s play area plus a beautiful riverside meadow.
Combine rustic character with comfortable living in this glamping getaway, which has the benefit of electricity, Wi-Fi and hot, running water. It’s set in an elevated position in a pretty paddock, and after you’ve climbed the steps to its raised deck you’ll want to spend a few moments taking in the glorious views of rolling countryside. Follow your hounds inside to find an open-plan space with a wood burner and a sofa, plus a sturdy dining table and a compact kitchen. Whip up quick snacks and simple meals on its gas hob, with a small fridge/freezer and several cupboards for storage. The enclosed cabin bedroom has a wall-to-wall king-size bed – a cosy sleeping space for adults or little ones. You’ll also have a separate king-size bedroom and a twin room, with all three sharing a shower room. Let your four-legged friends run in and out to the enclosed deck, which boasts a large table for meals and drinks. You’ll also have a private fire pit, and access to a shared, seven-acre riverside meadow, a playground, games room and outdoor skittles and boules. Private parking is available for two cars.
Just 50 metres from your door, hop on the narrow-gauge railway at the Devon Railway Centre, where furry friends are welcome. Head out on tail-wagging walks along the nearby Exe Valley Way: a picturesque stroll through fields and woodlands that reaches Tiverton in around 4 miles. For more hikes amid glorious scenery, the Exmoor National park is 12 miles away.
