Tente Safari Bouleau, site glamping parfait pour familles et chiens, Devon

Hidden in the beautiful Exe Valley in Devon, Birch Safari Tent is a peaceful countryside retreat surrounded by rolling hills, lush green meadows and ancient woodlands. Unwind on the spacious veranda with far-reaching views while enjoying a traditional Devon cream tea. Sleeping up to six guests and dog friendly, it's perfect for families and friends, with a football pitch and river for wild swimming on site. Dartmoor, Exmoor, charming villages, heritage steam railways and Devon's stunning coastline are all within easy reach.

Inside, you will find a cosy, rustic interior with a fully equipped kitchen, seating area, private bathroom, and comfortable beds, creating a true ‘home away from home' experience. Comfortably sleeps up to six people, with one king-size bedroom, one twin bedroom, and one with a king-size enclosed cabin that accommodates both children and adults. There is a private bathroom with running hot water, a shower, toilet, and sink, complete with luxury skincare products from 100 Acres.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils you need, including tea and coffee facilities, a small fridge freezer, a gas hob, and a spacious dining area with a wood-burning stove to keep you warm and cosy as night-time falls. With large windows and plenty of natural light, this safari tent can be ‘opened up' to bring the outdoors in. Outside, cook up a feast on the firepit or toast delicious marshmallows while taking in the breathtaking sunsets.

This glampsite offers plenty of family games and outdoor activities. The children's play area features a swing, slide, tree stumps, and tyres to explore, plus a special bespoke mud kitchen. Adults can also join and enjoy the skittles and boules court, but don't get too competitive!

Craving something easy and tasty? The paella meal kits offer a delicious and convenient alternative to a BBQ. All ingredients are included, along with a pan and clear instructions, so you can cook al-fresco over the firepit outside your safari tent.

The exclusive riverside meadow is just a couple of minutes' walk and a great place to explore. It is around seven acres, so ideal for children to run around. With benches by the River Exe, it is an ideal place for a picnic, completed with a firepit where you can toast marshmallows and enjoy a sundowner here too.

During your stay, you'll be ideally situated to explore the beautiful countryside and coastline of Devon. Just a few minutes walking away, you can visit Bickleigh Mill, which offers a bistro and a retail shopping experience. Additionally, the Devon Railway Centre provides a fantastic train experience for children.

With its own Courtyard Bar, Games Room and Honesty Shop, this is the place you may never want to leave, and you will almost certainly want to book your next stay.

For large family gatherings you can also book the full site or Oak Safari Tent and Maple Safari Tent.
