About Brackenhill Glamping

Just a stone's throw from Dartmoor National Park, the site offers a luxury family friendly glamping experience and has previously won Silver for Glamping Business of the Year at the South West Tourism Awards. Settled outside of Ugborough, you'll find yourself within walking distance of two friendly village pubs, offering delicious food and drink. The safari tents are spacious, beautifully furnished with a well equipped kitchen with electric kettle toaster, hob and fridge. You have your own private decking area with outside table and chairs as well as a wood fired hot tub for two people, a fire pit and BBQ. 'Glow Worm' is a beautifully furnished Safari Tent which sleeps up to 5. It has two separate bedrooms, one with a king size bed and another with a bunk. The bunk room can fit a single fold out camp bed or a travel cot both of which are provided on request. The camp bed is best suited for children and it is a snug fit within the bunk room. The internal shower room can be accessed independently from either room so there is no need to disturb each other during night. This tent has commanding views of the surrounding countryside and is located closer to the honesty shop and car park. The four-poster bed with fairy lights is a lovely addition to this tent. The little kitchen is well equipped with a two ring induction hob, fridge, electric kettle and toaster plus all the pots, pans, crockery and cutlery that you may need. Slow Worm Safari Tent is the larger of the two tents and has three separate rooms. One king, one twin and one bunk room that also has room for a cot bed (provided on request). Slow Worm is more secluded and is located lower down the field near a small stream and is surrounded by mature oak, ash, beech and sycamore trees. Slow Worm has a large well equipped kitchen which includes an electric oven and hob plus a dishwasher! There is a fridge, electric kettle and toaster plus plenty of pots, pans and cutlery and crockery. Outside there is a fire pit plus a BBQ for outdoor cooking and marshmallow toasting. Towels, blankets and hot water bottles are provided. Your Safari Tent comes with a welcome pack containing complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and a pint of milk. Cooking oil, salt, pepper, dishwashing liquid and hand soap are also provided. Breakfast hampers are also available to order either by request (with 24hr notice) or at the time of booking your stay. A complimentary basket of logs will also be provided (more available if required from the honesty shop). There is a little stream, willow den and mud kitchen for the kids. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times in the glamping field.

A note from the site themselves...

We are a small family run site of just two safari tents set in their own little wildlife haven on the edge of the village of Ugborough. If you love your bird spotting, wildlife watching or bug hunting this is the place for you! The buzzards circle over head and you can hear the tawny owls hoot at night. We are lucky to have both glow worms and slow worms in the field to look out for in the summer months too which is a real treat for wildlife enthusiasts. We have just been awarded a Silver Award for our Sustainability credentials in the Devon Tourism Awards too.
