Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lack of road and vehicle noise in the background.
Views of the Moors
Wildlife, especially the swallows swooping across the grass in front of the tent.
Friendly Peacock

Disliked: The only contact was by phone on arrival, to say pitch tent anywhere in the field. So no contact with staff.

No Bunkhouse Sign on the road at the entrance to the site.

Being woken at 4:30am by cows eating grass next to the tent on the first night.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful place, easy to find in a very convenient location. Perfect for walks on the Dartmoor or the beach! The sheep come “to say hello” in the morning and they are adorable, specially the baby ones.
Toilets and shower were clean with hot water.

Hobbit camping pod

Liked: Showers were great, really hot, no timers😊. Really nice feel to the site, peacock wandering around, along with chickens and pea hens.

Disliked: No electricity in the bunkhouse, weather was not great when we were there so very cold, luckily we had a gas camping stove that we used as a heater, without this I think we might have left after the first night. I think for the money we paid we should have had electricity. Bunk house could do with a good clean as well. No Wi-Fi in the bunkhouse, had to walk to the car park to get any signal. Could not park next to the bunk house.

Cabin

Liked: The area was lovely. Close to Ivybridge that was a really nice small town with independent shops.
Nice outside, undercover area at the cabin to sit in the evening. Comfortable night's sleep.
Facilities were clean and easy to get to.
Children liked the farm animals on site.

Disliked: Not greeted on arrival to show us around, however owner did stop by to say hello in the evening.
The cabins don't have parking alongside as advertised.

We loved the fact we could go camping without needing all the gear!

Hobbit camping pod

Liked: What a beautiful place! We loved the location, loved the pig and the birds and loved the beautifully done Hobbit hut. We were surprised by how spacious the hut was and it was clean and comfortable. The facilities were great too - clean and modern.

Disliked: We were pretty cold despite lots of layers to sleep in - the hut is essentially camping under wood rather than canvas, but the size of the hut means it's a slightly chillier experience than being in a tent!

Local attractions

As well as all the hiking, seeing the Dartmoor ponies is also a must: you’ll spot them all over the moors even if driving, but if you or the kids want to get up close, pony treks are available from several companies, and the Original Miniature Pony Centre at Moretonhampstead gives kids the chance to take a better look (double check opening times before you book as they have seasonal opening). Also nearby for mini naturalists is the Dartmoor Zoological Park, subject of the book and film We Bought a Zoo and housing big cats, monkeys, snakes and plenty more from around the globe; and the National Marine Aquarium less than 10 miles away in Plymouth. Three top walking trails are within a couple of miles of Harford Bunkhouse: the Erme Valley Trail, the Erme-Plym Trail and the Two Moors coast to coast Way from Ivybridge on the south coast to Lynmouth, Exmoor on the north. This in turn connects at various places to other long-distance paths including the Tarka Trail, the South West Coast Path and the Dartmoor Way. Walking too much faff? Cast off peacefully with the fishing opportunities in the area, from guided fly fishing trips on Dartmoor to fishing for salmon and trout on the River Erme.
