Hobbit camping pod

Liked: What a beautiful place! We loved the location, loved the pig and the birds and loved the beautifully done Hobbit hut. We were surprised by how spacious the hut was and it was clean and comfortable. The facilities were great too - clean and modern.

Disliked: We were pretty cold despite lots of layers to sleep in - the hut is essentially camping under wood rather than canvas, but the size of the hut means it's a slightly chillier experience than being in a tent!

#1 camping pod

Liked: Clean bathrooms and showers. Quality toilet paper.

Disliked: Camping pod really needed a good sweeping. Mattress covers were a bit grubby and stained. There was a light, but no outlets. I've stayed in other camping pods in the UK for a similar price that included a space heater and electric kettle.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great location, feels like the middle of nowhere and tent pitching area is good. Staff were very friendly and helpful as when our tent broke and was unusable we were allowed to stay in the free pod for the night - greatly appreciated!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Big spacious field, friendly owners that were easy to get a hold of, very clean toilets and the shower was one of the best campsite showers I’ve had, really hot water with good water pressure and liked how you switched the shower on rather than needing to press a button all the time

Disliked: The grass could do with being a bit shorter

William J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Facilities were amazing and very well cleaned, showers were very warm after 30 seconds along with being high pressure which was great after a long hike. Area where we camped was relatively flat however some tents depending on availability in the area may be at a slight slope. The cost for amount of time we were there was brilliant as we were able to get 25 pounds per person for 2 nights which seemed like a great deal for our group size.

Local attractions

As well as all the hiking, seeing the Dartmoor ponies is also a must: you’ll spot them all over the moors even if driving, but if you or the kids want to get up close, pony treks are available from several companies, and the Original Miniature Pony Centre at Moretonhampstead gives kids the chance to take a better look (double check opening times before you book as they have seasonal opening). Also nearby for mini naturalists is the Dartmoor Zoological Park, subject of the book and film We Bought a Zoo and housing big cats, monkeys, snakes and plenty more from around the globe; and the National Marine Aquarium less than 10 miles away in Plymouth. Three top walking trails are within a couple of miles of Harford Bunkhouse: the Erme Valley Trail, the Erme-Plym Trail and the Two Moors coast to coast Way from Ivybridge on the south coast to Lynmouth, Exmoor on the north. This in turn connects at various places to other long-distance paths including the Tarka Trail, the South West Coast Path and the Dartmoor Way. Walking too much faff? Cast off peacefully with the fishing opportunities in the area, from guided fly fishing trips on Dartmoor to fishing for salmon and trout on the River Erme.
