Liked This was such an amazing find! Only 2 pitches but well spaced apart. A proper woodland camp with so much provided:- The tent: huge bell tent with double bed with linen/pillows, 2 sofa beds and so many nice little touches: a welcome box full of goodies, some games and books, phone charger points and nice lighting. Outdoor: private table/chairs picnic table, a large, decent gas BBQ as well as an outdoor firepit which makes any camp so much cosier! Composting toilet was clean and odourless and private, and the shared outdoor shower was quirky and large. I stayed with 3 children (9,13 and 15) who love the outdoors and have stayed in quite a few places over the years. They rated it as one of, if not, their favourite! Even without WiFi - though that is never really that important when camping like this! The phone signal was decent enough and managed to stream a few sports events over the stay. The owners could not be more helpful and are on hand to help or top up wood/sawdust/water etc. Clearly a hardworking family with a passion for nature and a desire to make guest stays comfortable and memorable. Bovey Tracey is just down the road with loads of food shopping options, takeaways if needed, and the community swimming pool which always gets a visit when we're down this way. A great location for Dartmoor and springboard for other Devon and Cornwall activities. Eden Project this time - 1hr 20m. Feels safe and secure with a pin activated entrance gate and allocated parking. We had a wonderful 4 nights and really didn't want to leave. A great little place...outdoors, in the woods but with so much on your doorstep.

Disliked Nothing to dislike here.

Until then, thank you once again for taking the time to share your experience! Warm wishes, Bovey Heath Retreat team

Liked Peaceful small site, well spaces out pitches. Basic but more than acceptable and that was the reason for choosing.
