Owl Valley Glamping

Likte Gorgeous secluded location which feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, but really it's only a 5 minute drive from Bideford centre.
Tawny cabin was lovely. Has everything that you need and was clean and tidy. Really good layout and thoughtfully placed solar lights. The hot tub was fantastic.

The owner Chris was a wonderful host. He met me at the carpark and transported all of my luggage in his quad bike trailer while I walked down to meet him at the hut.
He also came to heat the hot tub each morning and bring ice blocks for the cooler.

It takes a couple of minutes to walk down to the hut. A few bits of the path are steep and a bit slippery, will be fine for most people, but those with limited mobility might struggle.

I was a little apprehensive of the outdoor shower, but it was lovely! Could get really hot! And with the shower curtain across it feels private enough.

The kitchen was great and had everything I could need, including I couple of things I'd forgotten to bring.

There is an honesty shop on site where you can get additional BBQ coals, wood, firelighters etc as well of lots of other beautiful things. You just right down what you've taken and settle up in cash with Chris when you leave.

There are no electric points, all lights are solar powered which is fantastic. Just make sure you bring plenty of power banks for phones. Signal is fairly good there even though it's in the valley.

I stayed for 3 nights on a solo trip and it was absolutely perfect

Likte ikke Honestly struggling to think of anything.

Likte The beautiful setting, so peaceful and quiet. The tent, cooking facilities and outdoor kitchen were fantastic. All cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery were supplied. Shower was lovely and hot and good pressure.
Wonderful dark skies for stargazing.
Chris was lovely and friendly, he met us in the car park and took all our luggage to our accommodation for us in his quad bike trailer as it’s a small hilly walk to the tent.
Nothing seemed like too much trouble.

Likte ikke This is entirely a ‘me problem’ but the spiders in/around the shower and toilet! 😳But, as I say, that’s my issue nothing to do with the campsite. By the end of the weekend I’d learned to ignore them all!

Likte An absolutely amazing find!

The beautiful tawny cabin had been built by the owner themselves and was absolutely amazing- what a skill to have!

Tucked away in the woods, it felt like a magical little hideaway and we will definitely be back!

The owners were lovely- present but not overbearing and incredibly friendly and welcoming.

The hot tub was emptied, cleaned, re-filled and re-heated everyday and made for such an amazing addition.

The set up inside was perfect- a big bed tucked under the loft area, a futon downstairs, and two single futon style beds upstairs, making it perfect for families.

The gas shower outside was really hot and well-thought out, with thoughtful additions, like hooks to hang your towel on and a slate shelf for your soap, and a waney edge bench outside the curtain for your clothes.

The BBQ area was undercover and again, had a beautiful waney edge timber table for all your cooking utensils and food to go on while you BBQd.

The kitchen was very clever, with a sink with a plug, a two ring gas stove and loads of utensils.

A small path running alongside the cabin connected the units and led to a communal area, including a pool table etc.

Amazing attention to detail everywhere. Just stunning!

We visited in late July, but I can imagine in the Autumn/ Winter, this cabin could make for an amazing stay, with the log-burner inside and the hot tub outside in the colder air!

Likte ikke Nothing!

But a couple of tips for travellers:
Take power banks, there is no mains electric in the cabin.
We had okay signal on Vodafone, but almost 0 on O2.
Parking is not directly outside the accommodation, but the owner will meet you with a trailer and quad bike and take all your luggage down for you!

Likte We had an absolutely fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. The location is beautiful, tucked away in a peaceful wooded area where you can really switch off and enjoy nature. It was so quiet and relaxing, yet there was plenty for the children to enjoy.

Chris was an exceptional host. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he was always happy to help with anything we needed. He was so warm and friendly that our children would get excited every time they heard him coming past on his quad bike and would run over to say hello. It really added a personal touch to the whole experience.

The facilities were exactly what we were hoping for. This isn’t a five-star hotel, and that’s exactly the charm of the place. It’s a true glamping experience with a lovely back-to-nature feel, while still having everything you need for a comfortable stay. We left feeling relaxed and already talking about coming back.

Likte ikke The only downside was the horseflies, but Chris explained that they are only around for a few weeks each year, so it’s very much a seasonal issue rather than something that would put us off returning.
