Howard was extremely accommodating and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay in such a pretty orchard :)

Nothing

Everything!!! So much thought care and dedication has gone into the facilities at this site. The glamming tents are really comfortable, fully equipped outdoor kitchen and breakfast bar and the horse box converted into a bathroom is pure luxury! Great hosts and a beautiful setting in the orchard. What’s not to like 😊

We wanted somewhere to stay overnight for an early flight out from Exeter airport. The location was perfect, the glamping facilities excellent and the owner of the site could not have been more helpful. We have already highly recommended this place to others.

Nothing, I suppose guy ropes slightly off centre would help exit and entrance to tent.

Amazing bathroom, kitchen and tent. The old tree bench was so comfortable. Bed so comfortable.

I think the main draw back is little electricity (I didn’t see that when booking) but to be honest it actually turned out to be a blessing me and my freind were able to enjoy more of each others company and Howard let us use the electricity near the main buildings to charge laptops etc.

Our stay with Howard and family at bowhayes farm was really great. We loved the freedom and space you feel in the orchards. It’s very quiet and peaceful. Howard was a very hospitable host. Nothing was too much trouble. I also really enjoyed the fire pit, evening sitting by the fire chatting and eating marshmallows. The tents and kitchen/ bathroom buildings are all very nicely designed. As there are only few tents and spread out you don’t feel overlooked or crowded, most of the time you don’t see anyone. The kitchen has all the basics you need for cooking food camping style and although I didn’t use there is a microwave etc a short walk from the main camping hub.

I couldn't fault any of it.

Beautiful quiet secluded setting. Was so good for the soul to be in such an environment. Felt connected to nature and far away from the stresses of every day life.

Nil to note

Excellent location and ideal for active people. You can travel light as all rentals, bedding etc is provided for you. There is a kitchen hut with free for all use of the facilities if your glamping. Howard and Fiona were very attentive and were excellent for advising on local areas to visit and places to explore. It is an adult only facility and dogs are allocated to certain areas to ensure it’s a tranquil and relaxing stay if that’s what you’re looking for. We walked from the camp site through the valley all the way to Ladram bay - ~3.5 hike but beautiful countryside and views of the ocean on the coastal path.

It did get a bit cold at night but the tent is surprisingly warmer than you thing!

Amazing views and lovely host. Howard was super friendly and welcoming. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us a tour and a list of recommendations. Went above and beyond! The facilities were also amazing. Proper shower and toilet only a few metres away from us in a renovated horse box (built by the host!). The toilet and shower is locked and only shared by the 2 bell tent guests. Other campers have their own facilities. There was a fully stocked outdoor kitchen if you wanted to cook. We slept really well despite it being a windy night and the tent was well furnished. The fire pit was a bonus and really made the stay extra cosy!

The only downfall was the walk up to the tepee, it’s on a hill, not massive but a big enough hill and you have to carry your luggage up there.

We absolutely loved the tepee tent set up, basic but cute, has everything you need.

The only thing I will say is that there is no electricity for charging that I could see, however this is understandable considering the type of stay it is.

Loved how peaceful and away from real life it felt, Perfect for a refreshing breakaway. The bedroom was super comfy and cosy so it didn’t feel like we were in a big tent at all! The bathroom facility was very close to our tent and was very clean, same goes for the kitchen and breakfast area. The hosts were amazing and so lovely!

Be prepared to walk up the hill to get to the tent at the top of the orchard. It's not so much of a downside as you have a lovely view (and get some steps in!).

Excellent location and facilities. Everything was clean and well looked after. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and had great recommendations for local places to visit.

Lack of toilet paper and only sufficient Ugg milk for one hot drink but as I said to my partner I’d accept that every day of the week to stay in such a wonderful place

Peace tranquility conjoined with nature , hooting owls and Most definitely the dawn chorus

If I was being fussy then maybe some electric up the top

What could’ve been even better was if we didn’t need to leave! :)

Staying at Bowhayes Farm was the best decision for our bank holiday weekend. We felt immensely looked after by the host Howard, had plenty of wood for our fires and received some great recommendations for walks and places to eat. The pitch, surrounded by an apple tree orchard, was so tranquil, the bathroom was immaculate and there even was a shower with multiple shower heads! This was without doubt the best Devon getaway we’ve ever had, and much of this was due to the genuine interest, warmth and care from the owners of the farm. Thank you for our lovely stay, we will definitely be back.

Great location and felt quite private despite others around, the shower was hotel worthy and no problems with sharing as everyone was respectful not to hog. I did however expect some heating in the tent and we got quite chilly in the summer evenings in August so not too sure how it enjoyable it would be in autumn and winter.

Wasn't expecting regular tent pitches next to our bell tent (several metres away but slightly detracted from the secluded feeling).

Lovely rural location Good shower Useful kitchen area Comfortable bed Firepit

All good and the kettle is on its way...

A return visit... What is not to like...sitting around a fire pit under the stars. Listening to the owls in the privacy of a beautiful apple orchard with the only other sounds being the gentle plop of the apples dropping intermittently. The tent and facilities have been very well thought out, great bathroom with posh shower, a camp kitchen with all you need to cook a meal or make tea. And to cap it all the hosts super friendly and very passionate about what they do.

Cannot fault the property at all
