Siobhan's experience

The tent set up and facilities are so well thought out with wonderful attention to detail, comfy beds and a superb shower plus the kids have never played so many games before.  We loved it so much we booked again for next year before we had even packed for the journey home.

Adam's experience

These Safari tents are just amazing, couldn’t fault them. Clean, warm. Sara and Steve provide all linen and towels, coffee and tea on arrival, games for the family to play. Bbq is great. Location is perfect for Bude and Westwood Ho! Beaches. 2 nights simply wasn’t enough, can’t wait to go back!

Laura's experience

Second time back at Beara Lodges, and it was as good if not better than the first time :) the addition of the pizza stove for the BBQ was brilliant for the kids :) Honestly, this is a special spot that Sara and Steve have made, in a really beautiful part of the country. We’ll be sure to be back for a third trip one day! Thanks so so much again. Xx

Rated 5.0 out of 5 We spent a bit of a wet autumn morning at Wildwood with our two year old and had a really nice time. The grounds are beautiful and we saw lots of the animals including the red squirrels in the squirrel woodland walk through, bears, lynx and wolves. Our toddler really enjoyed the pirate ship play area and we all had lunch in the cafe. We would love to visit in the spring/summer and will return when we are next in this part of the world.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 Wonderful place. Went with a 6 and 2 year old and had the best time. Spent around 4 hours there, cooked marshmallows on a fire, saw the bears, lynx and fab wolves. The maze was fun, lunch was good in the pretty courtyard. Very chilled and happy place that I totally recommend to others. Alfie N 13th Apr 2022 Trip Advisor

Stately Homes & Manors in Devon

Devon has some breathtaking stately homes and manors which are open to the public to visit. Visiting a grand old Devon country house is a great way to spend a day. Not only can you step back in time, but you also have the chance to see how the otherside live! There are a host of stately homes and manors across the county with incredible histories, some were used during the Civil War and still retain decor from this period, others were redeveloped from monasteries after the Dissolusion. Whatever the house, you'll find that they are all in magnificent locations and often surrounded by lovely grounds to explore.

Devon's Castles and country estates

Devon has some incredible architecture and a host of fascinating buildings,  from the youngest castle in the UK  to ancient manor houses and homes that have been inhabited by the same family for over 400 years! Whether you want to explore the grounds, which are often vast and full of wildlife, or  you want to see how families lived in years past and having a good explore around their former homes, you can make a whole day out of a visit. Many of these stately homes and grounds have been opened as tourist attractions, even those that still operate as family homes, so you'll find that there are all the facilities you could need for a fmaily day out and most have refreshments on offer too. What could be better than enjoying a  Devon cream tea  with a grand Elizabethan manor in the background?

Whatever you like when it comes to  heritage attractions,  there is something for everyone, from huge National Trust properties that are open all year round, to private homes that only welcome visitors on select days, to castle ruins and more.

Luxury Devon lodge expands to offer 25 posh tents

The retreat offers game bird shooting but wants to diversify

A luxury Mid Devon lodge that offers game bird shooting but wants to diversify has had its plans for up to 25 safari tents approved. Loyton Lodge, which describes itself as a country retreat, in Morebath on the southern edge of Exmoor , submitted a combined proposal for 10 upmarket tents on one part of its site, and a mixture of 15 tents and cabins on another.

The Lodge, a 10-bedroom holiday property where guests can land by helicopter, is a wedding venue, posh B&B, and events venue. But the impact of avian flu and changing sentiment towards shooting game birds means it is seeking new revenue streams.

The application said that high-end safari tents, cabins and bothies would be serviced by a centralised club house, with heated and natural swimming ponds available.

The applicant said guests would buy their meals from the Lodge's existing facilities, with no food deliveries for personal consumption permitted on site.

There will also be no formal kitchen facilities in any of the new accommodation.

The planning application says that while "the cabins will be available during the game shooting season (1 September to 31 January)" it expects the highest occupation will be between Easter and October.

It continued: "Strict codes of conduct, health and safety are required to operate a game shoot. These will remain in force. There is no intention to actively shoot on land where the cabins are located."

The scheme received 100 objections from 51 individuals, including concerns about the amount of water the new accommodation would use, too little community engagement about the scheme and the "excessive scale" of the plans.

There were also fears for an increase in short-term traffic during construction, and longer-term with a potential rise in guest numbers.

In the 12 letters of support, people welcomed the potential for year-round employment, the design sensitivity of the scheme, and that it could enhance Loyton's economic sustainability.

The application was approved by the council's planning committee, with some conditions attached, including a restriction on siting any accommodation in flood zones, and that amplified music can't played on the site, other than in the Loyton Lodge building.
