  • Spacious bell tents on a family farm in Dartmoor National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to Chagford; 40 minutes to central Exeter
  • Weekend pizza nights and pop-up suppers on site; farm produce to buy
Mixing up the fabulous open space of Dartmoor National Park with the convenience of a ready-made place to stay, the bell tents at Yellands Farm Glamping make a fabulous pick for a family break or a couple’s holiday. The farm is on the southern slope of Meldon Hill, surrounded by splendid Dartmoor views towards Hound Tor and Haytor Rocks. It’s been here since the 17th century, so there’s plenty of history to the place, along with lots of mature trees and well-established hedgerows. And there’s lots of space too – each tent sits in its own individual field of around 3-5 acres, which you’ll share only with the butterflies and other wildlife that like to flit around the wild flowers. To help you make the most of that open space, when it's not too dry or too windy, you’ll get your own firepit for cooking dinners and keeping warm by night. A communal field kitchen with fridge is nearby too (along with a shower and compost toilet). You can buy firewood on site, along with farm eggs, fresh sourdough bread, homemade ice cream and ready-to-heat meals. For anything else you might need, it’s a 10-minute drive (or half-hour walk) to the stannery town of Chagford for a range of independent shops including a bakery, butcher, deli and wine shop – plus three pubs and several restaurants if you’d rather let someone else do the cooking. Alternatively, if you’re here on a weekend keep an eye out for pizza nights and pop-up suppers in the barn back at the farm.

Local attractions

Dartmoor is, of course, a wonderful place for hiking and other outdoor activities. A good way to start is with a walk across the valley to the remains of a Bronze Age village at Grimspound. Beyond that, the likes of Becky Falls (20 minutes’ drive), Canonteign Falls (half an hour) and Haytor Rocks (20 minutes) are good places to aim for. You may well spot various animals as you explore, but for guaranteed sightings of the park’s most famous residents you’ll need to stop in at The Miniature Pony Centre (five minutes). For more exotic species, head to Dartmoor Zoo (45 minutes) or venture into Plymouth (55 minutes) for the National Marine Aquarium. There’s plenty of history to explore as you tour the area too – perhaps you’ll make trips to Okehampton Castle (half an hour) or Castle Drogo (20 minutes) or take a tour of the attractions of Exeter (40 minutes). For a dip on the way home, there’s a heated outdoor pool in Chagford, or you can swim in the Bovey river a few minutes’ walk from your tent.

Bell tent

Liked Everything! Fabulous hosts. We arrived to a warm welcome. Susan and Roly were so helpful. Roly makes a really lovely sour dough loaf. We had the option to purchase fresh eggs, bacon and yogurts.
The bell tent was great, carpeted, big comfy bed. Plenty of extra duvets and blankets. Loved the little touches like the lanterns and books.
The views were stunning. The location feels quite remote but we visited Bude, Torquay, Paignton and Teignmouth. All within an hour.
Had the weather been better we would have stayed on site more and chilled by the tent.
The shower and toilet was quirky. We were able to have warm showers. Kitchen areas were well equipped.

Bell tent

Liked This was our first trip to Yellands Farm. We had a fabulous restful stay . The tent was beautifully decorated and we had a wonderful view across Dartmoor. It was great to enjoy an entire field to ourselves ! The outdoor kitchen was a real highlight especially with the boys. Susan and Roly were really welcoming and helpful. They had a lovely shop full of great local delights and I enjoyed learning more about improving my sourdough bread making! We hope to be back next summer . Thank you 🙏
