Bovey Heath Retreat

Likte We had the most wonderful stay at this gorgeous glamping spot tucked away in the woods near Bovey. The location is absolutely ideal – we were able to explore so many stunning places and beaches, all within an hour’s drive.

Evenings were pure magic, sitting around the fire pit under the fairy lights, toasting marshmallows .The tent itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, with so many thoughtful touches. There were games to keep the kids entertained( 2x older ones and 8 year old), picnic blankets, and all the essentials like plates, mugs, and cutlery.

The kitchenette was brilliantly equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the large gas BBQ was a real blessing – it made cooking breakfast and dinner quick and easy. The bio toilet was kept immaculately clean and was emptied daily, which we really appreciated.

The host is truly amazing – it’s clear how much care and effort has gone into creating such a special place. Every detail has been thought of to make the stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.

We absolutely loved our stay and the kids didn’t want to leave. Can’t recommend it highly enough – we’ll definitely be back!

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We’re absolutely delighted to hear you and your family had such a magical stay with us. It means the world to know you enjoyed the location, the little touches in the tent, and evenings by the fire pit toasting marshmallows under the fairy lights – that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create.

We’re so pleased the kids enjoyed themselves (even if it made leaving harder!) and that you found the facilities comfortable and well-equipped. Your kind words about the care we put into the place really do make all the effort worthwhile.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back for more adventures and cosy evenings in the woods!

Warmest wishes,
Bovey Heath retreat

Likte 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.

Likte ikke Nothing to dislike here.
