What to bring with you...

A sense of adventure. Not much else really!

Actually, now I come to think of it, some food and drink would be good. You can of course buy food locally from some fabulous suppliers including farm shops (Fordmore and Mole Valley are our nearest), farmers markets and supermarkets (Tesco and Aldi in Cullompton are the nearest). The Post Office in Kentisbeare also has a little general store for essential groceries and newspapers. Cullompton has an award winning butcher Veyseys on the High Street (Veyseys meat is now stocked in the Kentisbeare store and they also deliver). Cullompton has a farmer's market on two Saturdays each month. Honiton has markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.  

We provide bedding but please bring towels and toiletries (hand soap is provided in the barn shower rooms and antibac hand gel is provided in the yurt compost loos). 

Outdoor clothes appropriate to the time of year and the weather (it can get muddy when wet so wellies are a good bet, plus a rain coat).

Sunscreen and insect repellent are a good idea (just in case). Some antihistamine might be good in case of insect bites or nettle stings - we let our nettles grow as we like the butterflies whose caterpillars feed on them!).

A torch or torches would be handy for night-time excursions and trips to the toilet/bathrooms.  

We provide logs to sit on around the fire and benches around the outdoor table. If you'd prefer a bit more comfort then you may like to bring a folding camping chair for relaxing in and perhaps a picnic blanket for lazing around on. 

Cot, highchair and baby bath loan

If you have really little ones then we can provide a travel cot to save you space in your car (please note this works best in one of the larger yurts where we can slide away one of the smaller single beds to create space for the cot. ​We also have a high chair and baby bath available if you need. Please ask when booking.

"After a nightmare journey and stressful week at work this break was just what the doctor ordered. Comfortable beds, an idyllic setting and a well thought out environment meant we properly relaxed and are now back in London refreshed and full of new ideas. My 12 + 14 year olds read books, painted pictures and did midnight walks to the woods. We saw frogs, listened to baby owls, got really close to rabbits and swam in the river. Thank you Mark and Katie for thinking of everything an creating such a magical natural place to stay, we will be back."
