About Deer's Leap Retreat
Situated in North Devon enjoying a picturesque setting on the outskirts of Exmoor, the site is a traditional Devon farmhouse within walking distance of an abundance of wildlife and open moorland. There are five luxury bell tents onsite. All have a king size bed and camping sofa, with bed, bedding and towels provided for two guests. You are welcome to bring two camp beds or blow up beds with camping mats and bedding, plus towels for two extra guests. Every tent includes private facilities with a shower, toilet, camping kitchen with gas hob and grill, camping fridge, cutlery, crockery, glasses, tea towel and bin. You'll also find a stove, rugs, floor cushions, tea, coffee and twinkling string lights supplied inside - perfect for a relaxed and magical atmosphere. It's so peaceful here, the only thing you'll hear are the birds singing, the occasional baaing of a sheep or mooing of Jersey cows. Groups are also welcome and can book all 5 bell tents, which can sleep a group of between 10 and 20 depending on the configuration you are looking for. From family holidays to friendly gatherings, or a couple's getaway, guests always comment they immediately feel relaxed and comfortable at the site. Dogs welcome too. Whatever the season, or reason for booking your holiday, no one ever wants to leave Deer's Leap. Guests here become friends, who return again and again to experience the love and warmth of this magical place.
