We love welcoming new and returning glampers to our hidden gem to help create holiday memories to last forever! We have three luxury safari tents with picturesque and panoramic views of the Exe Valley. Each tent sleeps up to six and is fully-equipped with electricity, Wi-Fi, small kitchen, outside BBQ, play area and bathroom pod.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It is always great to receive 5-star reviews! This was from Kaitlyn who stayed with us last weekend...
I can’t find enough great things to say about our stay at Valleyside Escapes. The safari tent, hillside location, and small number of other guests made this an ideal weekend break for us. We’re a family of two young boys and an energetic dog - so the glamping field with a small playground inside was the perfect balance of convenience /amenities whilst also getting that ‘camping’ vibe and options for kids (and dog!) to explore.
We loved exploring the local meadows & stream, meeting baby sheep, and spending the afternoon at the miniature railway in walking distance from the tent.
I would highly recommend Valleyside Escapes for young families needing some of the ‘creature comforts’ but also wanting to get the camping experience in an idyllic setting. We’ll be heading back soon!

We look forward to welcoming Kaitlyn and her family back soon!☀️⛺️

💜FOXGLOVE SEASON!💜These pretty pinkish-purple flowers are popping up everywhere on the Valleyside at the moment. Head over to our stories to see them on the walk down from our glamping tents to the river meadow.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the The Woodland Trust it contains a chemical that can be used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure. However, the plant is poisonous if consumed directly.

We love seeing these pops of colour and they are an important source of pollen for bees! 🐝

COMPETITION WINNER! Last year for our 5th birthday we ran a competition to win 50% off a glamping break and the lucky winner was Liane Smith. Last week during May half-term we welcomed Liane and her family for their glamping stay. They had a lovely time enjoying the play area, seeing the lambs and sheep on the way to the river meadow as well as venturing out and about in Devon. They visited the Devon Railway Centre next door, saw the horse-drawn barge depart in Tiverton and also had a trip to Dart's Farm just outside of Exeter! We hope to welcome them back another time!

Why we received a GOLD award!

JUDGES COMMENTS! 💬Our GOLD award from the recent Tourism Awards - South West was the result of a vigorous process! Stage 1 involved the submission of an extensive questionnaire backed with evidence about why Valleyside Escapes is impressive, how it has developed, what successes there have been and future plans. We passed this stage which then led us onto stage 2… A judge came to stay for first-hand experience. Following the visit it was then decided if we should progress to the final stage where a gold, silver, bronze, or commended is awarded. We were thrilled to be awarded GOLD!🥇 Earlier this month we received the report from the judge who came to stay with us and we thought we would share some of her 'sound bites'. We couldn’t agree more in that it has been a ‘labour of love’ and continues to be…we’re busy now adding new facilities for our glampers for this season. If you’re booked to stay with us this year this is what you can expect…⛺️☀️ #devonglamping #midweekbreak #luxuryglamping #glampingweekend #glampingnotcamping #glampingholiday #visitdevon #familyglamping #visitmiddevon #staycationuk #glampinguk #dogfriendlytravel #dogfriendlyholidays #dogfriendlyaccommodation #dogfriendlyholidays #dogfriendlyholidaysuk Visit Devon Visit Mid Devon Love Glamping Glampsites.com Away with the Kids BabyBreaks Around About Britain Campsites.co.uk The Good Dog Guide Britain's Finest Holiday Tots

Putsborough Beach!

🏖SEPTEMBER BEACH FUN!☀️This is the beautiful Putsborough Beach in North Devon. It is one of our favourites - when the tide is out there are rock pools to explore and dogs are allowed on part of the beach. There is a cafe and toilets too so it has eveything you need for a fun day at the beach! The sea is warm at this time of the year too so there is still chance for a swim and body boarding!🌊 #glampingnotcamping #glampingholiday #VisitMidDevon #visitdevon #familyglamping #staycationuk #glampinguk #beachday #beachlife #beachvibes #lastminuteholiday #lastminutegetaway #lastminutetrip #lastminuteavailability #emptynesters #emptynesterlife #emptynestadventures Visit Devon Visit Mid Devon Glamping Love Glampsites.com QuirkyAccom.com Away with the Kids BabyBreaks Around About Britain Campsites.co.uk The Good Dog Guide Britain's Finest Holiday Tots Pitchup
