The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm Reviews
The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm are orchard grass pitches and timber tent camping and glamping pods, carefully set within a quiet part of an orchard. Sleeping up to five and dog friendly, they're ideal for couples and families. Stay on an attractive, small farm site, set in Devon countryside and close to a lovely beach. Open year round and only 15 minutes from Torquay and its beach vibes.

I am not someone who goes camping, and my husband is. We have three young children who we've tried camping with before and I've hated it - until visiting the Hens Den! We booked a glamping hut (okay, okay, so not really camping), and I loved it so much that we are already rounding family up to book again with us next year! I sent a video of the accommodation and facilities and they are sold! First - the accommodation is perfect, simple, well kept, we paid extra for a double bed which was all ready for us. It was an absolute ease to find and to "check in". Second- the facilities were beyond our expectations. Each den had its own little kitchenette and bathroom - you've got a microwave, kettle, fridge/freeze, shower, toilet, sink, and BBQ area to yourself. You then also have a washing machine between guests for a donation, and the games room, which my children adored. There is also a fire pit which we didn't get round to using, but certainly will next time! Third - the location. You're on this beautiful apple orchard, my children spent actual hours and hours playing hide and seek tag and playing in this orchard with the farm dog (who is also super friendly!). You're literally 10 minutes from Torquay so we spent visited there a couple times and went crabbing etc - we also visited Paignton which was 20 minutes away and did the beach, zoo, and pier. There's really on overwhelming feeling of safeness here - my children were the most independent they've ever been and I felt safe letting them play in the games room/ orchard without my constant supervision (they're not young young!). It was so peaceful. The little farm shop was great, though sadly no milk there throughout our trip- we did buy ice creams though :) Thank you Hens Den- we can't wait to see you next year!

We were staying for a short break attending a local summer party. I really appreciated the separate bathroom and kitchen. Very clean. We ordered the double bed - which led to a very comfortable night sleep.

Excellent facilities, decent pitch size, perhaps very slightly too small for our maximum size family tent. Farm shop was a very good addition and used frequently by us. Easy to find and access, and very good connections. Would recommend. If I had to give any criticism, it would be that the lighting in the toilets/power stations was very bright and on all night. There could be a 'dark' period. Pitch needed grass growing in a bit more, but this is a minor inconvenience.

Hi Andrew Thanks for the great review and really glad you you had a good stay. We have checked and adjusted the lighting timers and believe you may have pitched up on one of the three 'new' pitches which are not taking bookings until July when the grass has grown. Thanks again and hope to see you again hopefully. Jerry
