Tent holiday accommodation in Jurassic Coast

The bell tents were lovely, very spacious with 5 beds inside and lots of lovely touches like tea lights and useful camping things you’d never think to bring. Thanks Nicky and the team for a lovely stay, highly recommended!

The quality of the accommodation is excellent and of a high standard, with the attention to detail plainly evident. We found all the essentials were supplied, tea, coffee, toiletries etc and a lovely touch. We are a family of six and found the quality of the beds, bedding, shower, towels, kitchen amenities, furnishings superb. The accommodation was roomy and comfortable even when it was chilly outside, with lots of heating options including a log burner to keep warm. Jono was on hand to check us in and give advice on local attractions. Thank you. This is an absolute gem and we had a wonderful stay. We hope to see you again. Jason & Denise

The most perfect place!!! Could not have had a more enjoyable time. The views, the facilities, the showers, the beautiful tipis and the local pub ❤️❤️❤️ thank you

Beautiful bell tent, well equipped kitchen and the kids play tipi was great! Pub a few minutes walk away was also lovely and great food! Perfect location for the beautiful Jurassic coast. Thanks for a lovely stay, Lauren, Alex and Rosie x

Absolutely fab weekend away! This place is such a unique experience and has great facilities, including comfy beds and sofas, pots and pans, games, table tennis, and cool boxes which makes a camping trip super easy for everyone. We will definitely be returning next year!

We had a great time here. The location was picturesque and there was plenty to do on our week long stay. The tent was ideal and surprised us with how roomy it was. Check in was easy as in they text to let you know it’s ready and you just turn up at your tent. Each tent has a BBQ kettle, fire pit, two deckchairs and a large beanbag so lounging outside is to be encouraged. The views are great and the animals on site are friendly enough. The only gripe we have (completely not anything the venue can solve) is the Earwigs! They get absolutely everywhere! If you’re going to stay here then be prepared and maybe bring some airtight containers (even then they’d find a way in!). The play barn area and farm activities are spot on and there’s a lot to do to keep you entertained and although you have to pay, if you’re staying on site then it’s pay once and use as many times as you like after. We ate at The Cow twice whilst we were here and the food was great, service was spot on and for a reasonable price as well. We had a great time here and we’ll definitely be making a return visit, albeit we’ll probably try a lodge next time round. Thanks for having us!

Just incredible. Perfect for the dog and the toddler and us adults! We had such a fab time and will be back next year for sure. Chloe was awesome 😎

Linda and Gary are fabulous hosts at this beautiful and peaceful glamping site. From booking onwards Linda sent us lots of really useful information on what to pack and what to expect - really handy when packing for three kids! When we arrived Linda and Gary were there to greet us and show us around. The honesty shop set up is brilliant! The tents themselves are well equipped and nicely kitted out - the views are stunning. We loved the pizza night. Everything is very well organised and really thoughtfully done. The kids loved feeding the farm animals with Gary too. The other campers were also really friendly and there was a great atmosphere. Would love to visit again.

Absolutely beautiful place and location. The hot tub was amazing to be in and looking out on to the surroundings. The bell tent was spacious and clean and the bed was so comfortable! 100% would recommend and look forward to a return trip

We were pleasantly surprised by what awaited us and to be honest, the description or photographs do not do justice to the quality and aesthetics of the accommodation. My family spent a truly magical evening here, sitting around a fire-pit, eating an alfresco meal and then watching the stars.

Beautiful location, very private and incredibly clean and tidy inside and out, Hollie is a very friendly and helpful host, will definitely visit again!

Lindsay was a perfect host, great, clear instructions and came to say hi just after we arrived. The tent was great, spacious and cosy, fully carpetted with fold out beds. There's a small table and chairs outside the front with a firepit. There are logs available to buy, but we bought our own. Perfect for sitting out till late toasting matshmallows. Very simple with no running water, but there are two toilets. It's peaceful, not crowded and back to nature. We were excited to see our first glowworm! The stars were spectacular. Thank you for a lovely stay.

What a fantastic weekend I have had with my partner and two girls (5 & 8) The perfect place to switch off and just enjoy real quality family time around the fire pit! We loved exploring the area, within the copse there are swings and a platform built up on the trees where the view is just stunning. The ideal place for little minds to use their imaginations! The bell tent was comfy and clean, extra blankets needed for those chilly nights which Simon provided. Simon was the best host- so friendly and happy to help with absolutely anything, nothing was a problem! He sent us a guidebook with places to visit around the area, lots to do and see! Could not recommend this place enough if you are wanting to re-set and get away.

Stayed in the bell tent on Wendy’s land, beautiful views and very peaceful, we even saw some deer run through the field in the evening. The horses were lovely and we walked up to see the cows behind the field. Even though it stormed the first evening, it was very warm and cozy with the log burner going. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming was very nice of them to check up on our stay. We couldn’t figure out the stove, after ringing Wendy she helped us with it straight away. It was the perfect location to explore beautiful Dartmoor. We can’t wait to stay again.

We had the BEST one night stay, we regretted only booking one night. Host was so helpful and nothing was too much to ask. Pre ordered pizza and was ready before they anticipated so bought to our tent. Location is nothing short of stunning and toilets were very clean and well kept. Beds were comfortable and the tent was beautiful. Couldn’t fault it in anyway and we are already looking forward to out next stay. Thanks so much!!

We had an amazing super comfortable stay this last weekend and enjoyed everything about it! The tent was lovely and the beds snuggly and comfy, we asked for our beddings to be provided and all we had to do was arrive, sit back and relax. There are only 4 tents on the site which suited us perfectly and the site is located in a beautiful and very quiet part of the forest. We cooked on the fire and also used the kitchen and the Armadillo barn, you'll find everything you need for a very happy and comfortable stay. We highly recommend Tanya & Andrew's glamping stays, we felt absolutely well cared for while able to enjoy our space peacefully and can't wait to be back.

When we arrived we were greeted by their lovely dog Luna, the kids had great fun playing with her and she is super friendly. James showed us to the tent which was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. James was friendly and was there if we needed anything. The road is quite noisy at night, but it didn't bother our 3 kids who are 11, 9 & 7 and all slept really well. Pop some ear plugs in your bag just in case. On our way back from Pennywell farm we had a blow out 🤦‍♀️ James very kindly picked me and the kids up so we could get back to enjoy the tent, whilst my husband waited for the tyre to get sorted. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return in the future. Thank you

Amazing! Beautiful, peaceful, like our own little slice of paradise! Laura has done an amazing job making this lovely little spot. The glamping was indeed glam, everything we could have possibly needed was there. The kids loved helping with the eggs and playing with the dogs. Laura was so helpful and welcoming and it was great that friends could join us for a couple of nights. We will definitely be back.

We stayed for 6 nights in May half term in one of the Safari tents for our first glamping holiday (we had done camping before we had kids), it is idyllic. We are a family with 2 young children (5 and 18 months) in addition my 79 year old father came with us as well as our dog. There was plenty of room for us all in the tent and the facilities were perfect, everything was immaculately presented when we arrived and we had everything we needed. We were out doing something everyday so only used the accommodation during the morning and evening, our only issue was that we couldn't spend a little more time enjoying it! We got lucky with the weather as it only rained on 1 day and that day we were out on Brownsea Island which had good weather, so although it was wet when we returned to the campsite it didn't affect us all that much. The only issue was that since it had been raining during the day and again overnight, that night was noticeably colder than the other nights so we had to start the fire in the wood burner earlier, but we used 2 slow burning bricks in there as per each night and it wasn't really an issue. All instructions and information was clearly laid out, living on a farm is great for the children to enjoy and the honesty shop works really well to allow you to get the basics that you need when you need them. We opted to have some of the homemade pizzas on the first night for convenience, which you need to preorder by 4pm the day before and I would definitely recommend trying these. The staff were incredibly helpful pre, during and post arrival as I enquired if they knew of any local dog boarders since we wanted to spend 2 days doing activities we could not do with our dog. They provided 2 recommendations the one we picked was perfect and allowed us to enjoy our 2 days without worrying about how our dog was. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Safari tents at Gambledown Farm as a fantastic glamping experience for anyone who wants a great staycation with a bit of rustic charm and fantastic access to the New Forest and surrounding attractions.

What a beautiful setting to relax and have fun with the children. We had a wonderful first night, unfortunately we had to cut our stay short due to personal reasons but we will definitely be staying again and have recommended to family and friends.

Cleanest port a loo ever! We had a great time. Susannah and partner had thought of everything you might need: BBQ, firepit, stove, kitchen/cooking stuff, camping chairs, coca cola gummies and more!! It made it a really easy trip and the tent was super cosy. Perfect with the kids lots of space to play, and picturesque walks to the local pub/village. Located in a beautiful and quiet spot. Lovely people making it a lovely place. Be back again!

The most perfect weekend in beautiful the countryside Nick was a fantastic host so knowledgeable about the local area and gave us some great recommendations The bell tent was perfect Great night sleeps bed is super comfortable Wood burner and candles make the most perfect evening Facilities as so well done Fresh towels and dressing gown when we arrived. Amazing weekend can’t wait to return Thank you so much both!

We recently had our first camping experience on a farm, and it was truly enjoyable. The tent house was well-equipped with all the facilities we needed, including a equipped kitchen, a firewood heater, and a private bathroom and toilet. Outside, there was a porch, an area for a campfire/BBQ, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We were warmly welcomed by our lovely host, Heather, who made us feel right at home. As a thoughtful touch, we were treated to some delicious scones with clotted cream and jam upon arrival. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed every moment. Budleigh Salterton Beach was just a 20-minute drive away, and there’s a Sainsbury’s supermarket within a 5-mile radius. Although we didn’t explore the local area much, the peaceful environment away from the city made our stay truly wonderful. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d love to return!

We had a wonderful night's stay and wish we could have stayed for longer. Absolute bliss from the moment we got there: just the sounds of the birds and the rustle of the trees. Hoping to return again in the future (twice a year if the kids get their way as they lived the selection of games there to borrow). Attention to detail was second to none. Thankyou so much!!
