Stunning Stargazing

Exmoor National Park was the first named International Dark Sky Reserve in Europe. Our glamping site is just a stone’s throw away from Exmoor and makes for a fantastic place to star gaze. It is even more spectacular in winter with longer, darker nights and clear, crisp skies. Purely magical next to the crackling fire, sheepskin and blankets for extra warmth and a hot chocolate and a marshmallow or two.

It’s a little piece of glamping luxury in the heart of the countryside with a short drive to the local beaches and fab restaurants. The most perfect romantic escape. Can’t wait to come back!"
