North Thorne Glamping

Excellent location & facilities with great hosts (Sarah & Andrew). Spacious Bell Tent and own wash room with key. Site is very quiet with beautiful views. Will defo be visiting again x

Nothing to dislike

Lovely interior to the tent. Nice setting. Tents were spaced out well. Good that there was a blanket and bonfire too. Lovely to have own allocated shower and toilet and showers were always nice and warm. The barn with the fridges had a nice feel. Hosts were lovely and very welcoming and came to chat to us and check on how things were going regularly. Close to Woolacoombe, coombe Martin.

Could really do with a tumble drier as when the towels get damp and it isn't really sunny, it's hard to get them dry hanging them outside. Would be happy to pay for a coin operated one.

Friendly hosts, delicious cake on arrival, lovely bell tent with comfy beds, play barn which the kids loved and seating area with kitchen facilities which was great when it rained. Own bathroom which was greatly appreciated. We loved our stay.

The onsite shop didn't seem to be open and we ran out of toilet roll!

Beautiful surroundings. Great bell tent which suited us (2 adults and two 14 year olds). One night was a storm, and the owners took great care in checking the tent was sturdy, which it was, All cooking supplies were helpfully provided, as was kindling & wood for the fire pit. Great for night time barbecues. We also enjoyed the games on offer (ping pong table, tennis).
Sarah had baked us a lovely cake on arrival.
New themed toilets and shower block with our own key for sole use. Showers were always hot. Electricity sockets were also accessible in the same block, as was a kettle and fridges. A memorable stay which we all enjoyed.

The toilets / shower block were a short walk away (less than a minute), so we were glad to have taken our light with us for night time toilet visits.
The nearest supermarket is a 15-20 minute car ride away. Picking up supplies before arriving is a good idea. There is a farm shop which is in walking distance but worth checking opening times as it was closed on Mondays when we visited.
No car parking next to bell tent - a wheelbarrow is helpfully provided!
No / very little wifi signal.

We stayed in the horse box "Blubell" and absolutely loved it, it is cosy and the space has been well thought out. The hosts Sarah and Andrew are very friendly and helpful, and have worked hard to create a beautiful site, but one of the best features is that they haven't packed lots of tents in, so the site has the perfect amount of people on it, a rare find! We had our own themed bathroom which was really nice, just outside the bathroom there are mirrors with sockets next to them for hair drying, which is fab. We also had exclusive use of a fridge within the barn to store our essentials, there is one available for each accommodation which is a great idea. Children are well catered for here with a barn full of games and toys for them to use, as well as some goats and chickens to have a look at on site, a pond and a tennis court. Wood for fires is available to purchase on site and is very reasonably priced, as well as things which you can borrow (lighters, electric lights, tin openers and other things.) The location of the site is great too, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde around 25/30 minutes away which we loved. This is easily the best glampsite we have stayed at, with the most beautiful views and peaceful surroundings, we are looking forward to going again!
