  • Peaceful organic farm and apple orchard a mile from Stokeinteignhead
  • A mile from a sandy beach and the South West Coast Path
  • Firepit/barbecue area and kitchen facilities provided
A peaceful spot among the cobnut trees and looking out to an organic apple orchard… it’s quite possible you’ll want to nest at The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm for some time… Grab a perch at this family-friendly site in the south Devon countryside, 15 minutes from Newton Abbot, and you’ll be in for a real rural break, at a farm that produces organic apples and veggies and is home to a flock of happy hens that peck their way around the place. A few lungfuls of fresh air may well tempt you out into the open for meals, so it's handy that there are picnic benches, firepits and barbecues provided to keep you fed and toasty while you take in the rural views, the sunset or the starry skies. If the weather doesn’t approve of such antics, take refuge in the local pub, a mile away in pretty Stokeinteignhead, or head into a covered cooking area that's got a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. Guests also have access to an outside tap and wetsuit rinsing area, and there's plenty of space for kids to play among the trees. Free-range folks will find plenty of roaming to be done in the area: Maidencombe beach and the South West Coast Path are a mile away and Torquay’s a 15-minute drive. Exeter and Dartmoor National Park are both within 35 minutes.

ALEX S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Greensleeve fully-serviced grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful location. So peaceful and secluded.
The pitches were perfect for our campervan, and as it’s a small site we never felt ‘overloooked’ or crowded.
Location is great for exploring the local area. We walked to the Thatched Tavern in the evening for dinner which was lovely.
The toilet/shower facilities were great. Loved that they were essentially individual bathrooms. Which made it really easy with the little one.
We didn’t use the kitchen area but it looked well appointed.
Check in and check out was super easy.
Loved it. Will be back. And also will be recommending!

Local attractions

Being a mere mile from the south Devon coast, you’ll no doubt be wanting to get down there, whatever flavour of seaside sojourn you favour. Get your boots to stride along the scenic South West Coast Path, or totter along to quiet Maidencombe beach, a mile away, for sandcastles and sea paddling. No need to restrict yourselves to one beach though – there are plenty of gorgeous specimens along this stretch of coastline. Try Ness Cove (five minutes away by car) for fishing and rockpooling or Teignmouth (10 minutes) for traditional amusements along the pier and prom. Babbacombe Model Village and Paignton Zoo Environmental Park are both within a 20-minute drive if you need a break from the beaches. Active types may like to head north to Dartmoor National Park (35 minutes) for all sorts of walks and bike rides, plus horse riding, climbing, canoeing and wild swimming. Folks with more of an eye for history and culture will want to wend their way towards Exeter (half an hour) instead to take in the cathedral, museums and 600-year-old Powderham Castle.
