Collaton Farm

1 review

Semira on a lovely april evening looking south west

Luxury safari tent in quiet countryside 15 minutes’ drive to Dartmouth
Less than 30 minutes’ drive to beaches or Dartmoor National Park
Kitchen, shower room, TV, balcony with seating and firepit

Down a little lane with nothing but a farm, fields and footpaths beyond, Collaton Farm is a rural hideaway 15 minutes’ drive from the historic harbour town of Dartmouth in south Devon. Drive north for around 30 minutes to reach the moors and tors of Dartmoor National Park, or head south for around 15 minutes to half an hour to hit the coast and a string of sandy beaches from Blackpool Sands down to Salcombe and round to Bantham. But with such a comfy place to call home – and such lovely countryside to dive into right from the site – you may feel the urge to set your car keys aside for a while. Central heating, fully kitted-out kitchen and living areas, TV, king and double bedrooms with memory foam mattresses and a shower that lets you choose monsoon or massage settings… there’s not a hint of roughing it here. Outside is a balcony designed for lounging, with seats to snuggle up on while you get the firepit going or cook up some grub on the barbecue. Pick up all your provisions, including fresh-off-the-boat seafood, in Dartmouth. You can also arrange for a breakfast package or seasonal veggies to be waiting for you on arrival. For the times you don’t fancy cooking, you could take a 45-minute stroll through the valley to reach the village pub in Blackawton, or drive 15 minutes to Dittisham to dine out at the riverside pub or café.

Local attractions

There’s enough great countryside and coast all around Collaton Farm to keep you busy for the whole of your stay. Messing about on the river Dart is a favourite pastime, or you could nip across on the ferry from Dartmouth to Kingswear and go for a jaunt on the Dartmouth Steam Railway. To see the sights of south Devon by bike or on horseback, check out the cycle hire options in Kingsbridge (15 minutes) or Salcombe (25 minutes) and equestrian centres at the edge of Dartmoor (30 minutes). There are plenty of watersports providers in Salcombe too, or you could just chill out on the beach (or take a visit to the gin distillery for a locally produced tipple…) Five minutes down the road from site is Woodlands Leisure Park, plus Dartmouth Golf Club and Spa. For shopping with an ethical eco vibe, head to the historic market town of Totnes (15 minutes’ drive). Or if haggling for antiques is up your street, a visit to Ashburton (30 minutes) should also be on your list.
