Pengellys Farm

Dog-friendly rural farm site 10 minutes’ drive from Exeter city centre
A 20-minute drive to the coast; half an hour to Dartmoor National Park
Pub, ice cream parlour and shop five minutes’ drive; barbecues allowed

Feeling in need of a rural retreat still within reach of city sights? Then take a base at the peaceful meadow pitches at Pengellys Farm, a three-acre working farm site just 10 minutes’ drive from Exeter city centre but also within reach of moorlands and coast. This generously-sized site will set you in good stead for a range of pursuits, including walking and mountain biking through nearby forests, trekking towards waterfalls or making way to the coast (Teignmouth within 20 minutes’ drive and 25 minutes to Dawlish Warren). If you feel like stretching your legs first thing, you can take off along one of the local public footpaths (more routes further afield in Dartmoor National Park, half an hour’s drive). As you’re in a nice peaceful hamlet on the outskirts of the city, there’s an ice cream parlour within five minutes’ drive, for those with a sweet tooth, and fresh organic produce at the next farm. When the time calls for food or for a chilled drink, head to the local pub also within five minutes’ drive. Or perhaps step into the nearby food shop (also five minutes’ drive) and unwind back on site with a barbecue. Save any leftover tidbits for your dog, as they’re also welcome on site.
