Emperor bell tent (no pets)
Liked: Very well thought out - amazing attention to detail Spacious- only 6 tents and a small horse box in the field Close to the barn with access to toaster and electric kettle, charging points and sinks. Private fridge and bathroom Really friendly hosts - great breakfast recommendation! (Charlie Fridays at Lynmouth)
Disliked: Cooking was tricky in the wind. Not sure there’s much you could have done about it as the burner was shielded in three directions.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay, Charlie Friday's is certainly worth a visit. We will look at how to shield the cookers better from the wind.
Lovely site with clean facilities, friendly staff.

Emperor bell tent (no pets)
Liked: Own fridge, toilet/shower with own key. Kids loved the play barn All cutlery, plates, cups etc all there on your pitch for you to use. BBQ and has two burner hob. Kettle and toaster in barn to use as this was quicker than using kettle on stove Nice location but shops a 20 mins drive, so don’t forget provisions on your first night if you are arriving late as no shop on site. There are cows in the next field which didn’t bother us but they are loud first thing, take ear plugs.
Disliked: No electric in the bell tents. I’ve tried to find where it says it on the listing but it doesn’t. You can charge your phone etc in the barns, but they are a walk away. On a hill so when the wind comes it’s really windy. We went in august and the wind was terrible (can’t help nature) so it became really cold at night. Quite a walk to the toilets from the tents if you are at the bottom of the field, up a slope (definitely got our steps in) No site shop. I feel it would benefit from this especially as the shops are not very close. Even just the basics maybe? No Wifi

From the manager: Thanks for your comments. We don't list electrics in our tents but do state that there is electric in the barn for phone charge etc. There is an ariel photo on our listing showing the site and how spaced out things are, we feel people love the amount of space we offer. The onsite shop is a work in progress and will be available in 2023. We supply extra blankets if required, you just need to ask. Unfortunately we are unable to offer wifi and our listing does indicate this.
Friendly site with accommodating hosts, excellent for families

Bluebell Horsebox mobile home (pet friendly)
Liked: Wow! The converted horse box was stunning, so comfortable. The kids and I adored it. Beds we incredibly comfortable and all bedding was supplied even mattress toppers. The site was peaceful and clean and very well equipped. You own have you own proper bathroom with a key so you don’t have to walk back and forth with all your stuff! Full size fridge, kettle , toaster in the barn with power points and sofas and the barn next door is the game barn table tennis, connect 4 , badminton outside! The kids absolutely loved it. The hosts Sarah and her family are lovely and give you a lovely friendly tour and on hand if you need any help!
Disliked: Nothing!!

Bell tent
Liked: North Thorne was absolutely beautiful. My 6 & 9 year old boys were asking when we could go back as we were leaving, they loved all the space to run around, feeding the Goats and exploring the pond. Having a personal bathroom was lovely as you could leave stuff in there instead of having to carry stuff back and forth from the tent. The stars at night were spectacular. Sarah and Andrew were incredibly friendly and helpful and recommended some great places to eat and visit.
