Our stay

A lovely campsite with friendly owners and good toilet and washing facilities. There is a superb beach within walking distance and buses into to Torquay and Dawlish. The only disappointment was the local pub where we felt the owners wanted us out before the bingo started.

Long weekend away

Lovely stay and will happily return.

Lovely site

Park seemed lovely from the little I saw of it, unfortunately, our great British weather and 2 moany kids made for a very enjoyable experience. Campsite and facilities were lovely though. The toilets and cooking areas were exceptionally clean. The location we had made us feel like we were inside the orchard itself. Lovely pubs close by and nice walks along the coastal path.

Lovely place!

We really enjoyed staying here. The facilities were really good, plenty of showers and toilets & everything was really clean. The pitch was nice and flat and plenty of room. The location was lovely and quiet, but definitely remote, with not a lot of walks around. So if you were staying longer than a night, you would probably want to plan trips out.

Lovely, out of the way place to stay

Lovely place well equipped! Would definitely recommend.

Great find

Fantastic bathroom and shower facilities, and lovely kitchenette area. Really family friendly.

Thank you for the super review, much appreciated, Rebecca. Great to meet you and thanks for staying with us. See you again in better weather hopefully. Many thanks, Jerry.

Lovely Stay - really beautiful

A super lovely stay in the farm orchards. Great facilities, really valued having an area where we could set up our gas stove and eating area. Having heated bathrooms also makes such a difference when winter camping so that was a great touch. Also nice to have extra little touches like the kettle, we didn't have to get our stove out for a morning cuppa. The thatched tavern (about 15 min walk away) was a stunning pub, as was the walk along the coast from there. We also loved getting in the sea at Babbacombe beach for a cold winter dip and walking along for a coffee after. A lovely little area and farm. It was super good value and we felt very comfortable there, we enjoyed sitting at the firepit too. 🙂

Great hosts, clean facilities and personal

I stayed over for a single night on probably one of the worst days in terms of tent camping weather this year with high winds and constant rain. The pitch (Greensleeve) didn't flood and was well drained and more importantly for a tent, was well protected from the 35mph winds. Ablutions were very clean with plenty of hot water & good water pressure as well. It's not a huge sprawling site, so peaceful and calm. There's a shared fireplace near the kitchenette/wash up facilities which I didn't use but looked great. The hosts are very helpful and went the extra mile to help out with a piece of equipment I didn't have, which was much appreciated. I'd definitely use The Hen's Den again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quaint & personal place to stay.

Great to meet you April and thanks for the review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Jerry, The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm

Peaceful stay in a fabulous orchard location

The pitches are angled into the orchard and so you are surrounded by apples and greenery. There are only about five pitches, so there's no danger of feeling overcrowded. We found our stay very peaceful and comfortable (loved the fact that the shower rooms were heated).

A totally relaxing site

A totally relaxing site. Private pitches with discreet clean shower/toilet block close by. Set in lovely apple orchards that happened to be ripe during our stay. Delightful countryside offering long walks for us and our dog off the lead. It was by far the most relaxing, quiet site we have stayed in and will definitely return if we decide to holiday in Devon in the future. Full marks to the owners.

Rustic and quirky site

Great rustic and quirky site set in an orchard. Super, if strenuous, walking along the coast to Teignmouth. Good pubs nearby. Friendly staff and lovely fresh eggs.

Thank you for the super review, Lauren, and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Many thanks, Jerry.

Short stay

Small site - 6 tent hook up pitches and individual shower and toilet units with plenty of hot water- 20 metres from the tent area. Washing up facilities ✅ lovely beaches walking/run distance depending on fitness. 2 miles to Teignmouth or 2 miles the other way to Torbay. Will be going again - shouldn't really have given a great review as I don't want loads of people knowing about it - wanted to keep it to ourselves, but that's not in the spirit of camping.

Ha, thanks Louis for the review. Really glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks, Jerry.

Beautiful campsite, very friendly and accommodating

Stayed over bank holiday weekend and it was a perfect getaway. Close to the coast with only short walk to the Maidencombe beach and the coastal path. Really friendly and helpful owners and a beautiful campsite :)

Tranquil site

Eco aware site. Lots of hot water for washing dishes and showering. Kettle, toaster and washing machine available, which was a great addition. I'd love to come back in the spring when the trees are in blossom!

Beautiful!

Set in a beautiful spot, in the prettiest of villages. The facilities were spot on, very clean and had everything I needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the owners dog made a lovely companion to play a bit of fetch with.

Tucked amongst the apple trees

We wanted somewhere near the sea and near Bovey Tracey and Dartmoor too and this was spot on. A lovely snug place with pitches within the orchard and good facilities. The owner was very friendly and helpful and we had a visit from his border collie, who kept offering a stick! There was also a fire pit there which I enjoyed when I woke early….that full moon 😁 My only slight concern was the steps down to the facilities were uneven and quite a lot of loose stones…but perhaps this is a work in progress?
