HARTA RETREAT
VAST GREEN SPACES AND SLOW-COOKED CURRIES
At HARTA retreat you get proper space and time to disconnect from unnecessary obligations and switch off autopilot. The glamping tipis are rooted in a private, sheltered valley on the edge of Exmoor National Park, surrounded by 46 acres of sustainably managed grounds: meadows and pasture to wander, a stream-fed wildlife pond, an orchard and a young copse on the hillside.
Warm up in the wood-fired sauna at Santai, right beside the water, then cool off in the cold plunge. Swing in the hammock by the pond, play a set on the tennis court, or have a lazy breakfast and a slow-cooked curry brought to your tipi. Your only job? Make yourself at home.
THE TIPI MEADOW
Right outside your tipi door
Your tipi sits in a secluded, stream-lined meadow. By summer it's swimming in buttercups, long grasses and cow parsley, and buzzing with birds, bees and butterflies. Mown paths make it easy to wander, whatever the season.
ORCHARD & WOODLAND WALKS
Views over Exmoor
The orchard and woodland at HARTA retreat is home to all sorts of flora and fauna. Take a walk here to see fine views over Exmoor from the highest point above the farmhouse. Or bring a picnic and daydream together under one of the apple trees.
WILDLIFE POND & HAMMOCK
Spaces to find rest and relaxation
The stream-fed wildlife pond lies a short stroll down the valley from the tipis, beside Santai, across a small bridge through the trees. It’s a peaceful place with a wooden jetty and a lazy hammock – the ideal spot for a glass of wine and a good book.
SANTAI, WATERSIDE SPA
Heat, cold and quiet
Tucked beside the pond and sheltered by trees, Santai is where the day softens. Heat up in the traditional wood-fired sauna, take a bracing dip in the cold plunge, then sit by the water and let your breathing slow.
Book a private sauna session, add a massage or treatment to your stay, or come back for a wellness retreat.
TENNIS COURT
Game, set, relax
Set beside the pond in our wellness area Santai, HARTA’s outdoor tennis court offers a peaceful place to move, play and unwind. Complimentary for our glamping guests and available to book by non-residents, it’s a calm alternative to busy public courts. Whether you’re up for a friendly match or just a gentle hit-about in the open air, it’s yours to enjoy. Rackets and balls are yours to borrow.
THE TIPI VENUE
Waterside tipi event space
The waterside event tipi is where everyone comes together: celebrations, yoga, pilates, soothing gong sessions, and live music from wonderful musicians from across the UK and further afield.

LOCAL AREA
On the edge of the Exmoor National Park
At HARTA retreat you're miles from the hurried world, yet close to everything this part of North Devon has to offer. Woolacombe is around 15 minutes by car, with Croyde and Saunton Sands 20–25 minutes away: world-class beaches on the North Devon Coast National Landscape, still better known to many as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Just to the east lies Exmoor National Park, a unique and historic landscape of moorland, woodland, valleys and farmland. Come for adventure or for deeper peace and quiet. There are cosy pubs and tea rooms, charming villages, dark skies to bathe under and exceptional wildlife to spot. Trust us, you won't want to return to normal life.
