  • Secluded Devon glamping site five minutes' drive from Colyton
  • A 10-minute drive to Seaton, Beer and Branscombe beaches
  • Bell tents with eco bathroom, bed linen and gorgeous views
Little Oak Meadow is a secluded glamping site with gorgeous views of the surrounding East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the nearby town of Colyton (five minutes’ drive away and known as ‘Devon’s most rebellious town…’). Set next to a woodland, the site has a bunch of wildlife around. Settle in here and you can also look out along the lovely Axe Valley and catch glimpses of the sea lying beyond the Jurassic Coast in the distance. If you’d like to get down there for a closer look, it’s a 10-minute drive to Seaton (or a little longer to the likes of Charmouth, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth). And of course, the proximity of the coast means that walks on the South West Coast Path beckon, as well as local routes taking in woodland, river and rural views. Bell tents at this Devon site are set up with a double bed (plus inflatable mattresses, if needed) and an eco bathroom that’s got a hot shower and dry toilet. Bed linen is provided, along with a kettle, a cooker, a coolbox, lighting and outdoor furniture. It’s all part of a 25-acre site at a family-run property that’s flanked by wildlife-filled woodlands and meadows of grazing cows. Shops, pubs, restaurants and other amenities are all up in Colyton.

Liked: Beautiful pitch. Spotless toilets. Great view. Rural. Very quiet. The bell tent is so cute inside and outside. The bed is very comfortable. A lovely place to stay.

Disliked: Possibly a bit remote/quiet for us which is the only reason I have put that I would not stay again but as I mentioned before it is an absolutely beautiful location and is perfect for anyone looking to get away from it all!

Liked: Amazing few days away - the tent and facilities were spotless and surroundings were beautiful. Everything you need and some. We could not have asked for a better experience for our daughter’s first time camping. Ian was lovely and nothing was too much trouble and any requests were immediately dealt with. Would not hesitate to recommend this place. Thank you!

Liked: The location is glorious. Cows as your neighbours and glorious walks - theres a vista just round the corner from the tents and it took my breath away. Facilities were clean and I loved having an outdoor shower! Tent was well set up and had everything you needed. Oh and there's 4g which my 16 year old was very happy with :) close to lots of places and beaches. We went to Lyme Regis amd thoroughly recommend Bicton Park. It was peaceful and I loved it. I hope we'll be back.

Liked: We found this little piece of heaven while looking for a weekend getaway to celebrate a friends birthday. From the moment we booked Ian and Nicky (the owners), were immediately in touch with help and advise on any queries we had. They even went as far as to decorate the tent with birthday banners, party hats and a bottle of Prosecco! So thoughtful. The communication from start to finish was excellent. The site is simply awe inspiring. Rolling fields for miles, peaceful, tranquil and breathtaking views. The tent was immaculate with everything you need. We spent time taking beautiful walks in the countryside, visiting the local beaches such as Seaton and Beer, only 10mins drive away, which were postcard worthy, and enjoying BBQ's and stargazing while we had marshmallows over the firepit (also gifted by the owners!). Well, what can I say, but thank you Ian and Nicky, so much, for letting us stay in your beautiful part of the world! It's been such a wonderful weekend, made so by the incredible setup you've created. We all have said it was one of the best weekends we've experienced in forever! Oh and the cows were simply adorable! We loved it all ☺️ You will definitely see us again.

Bell tent (six person)

Liked: It really is a beautiful location, Ian told us where to walk to find a rope swing and where the best views were - and he was certainly right about the views! The tents are in a segmented part of a dairy field, so the cows are there, right there. It was awesome - the kids loved being so close to the animals. We all had a great stay, the tent was well equipped and the beds were comfy. We were only there for one night - wish it was longer. We had a problem with our van as we left, Ian was more than happy to come and help us get it sorted. Thanks Ian - we loved your site
