Luxury Safari Lodge set in private field on a farm

GET BACK TO NATURE IN OUR LUXURY GLAMPING LODGE

Lower Whitsleigh Farm is a quiet, secluded world of huge green spaces, BBQ’s & campfires, an abundance of wildlife & late-night star gazing.

Our Luxury five star 6 person Safari Lodge has the most amazing views over the North Devon Countryside & FAR AWAY with its own private ten acre meadow.

A world away from everyday life, at the top-end of the glamping experience with the little luxuries of home & fully equipped kitchen & bathroom.

Relax, Unwind, Escape….…and re-connect with nature!

An exclusive beautifully equipped 6-person luxury safari lodge nestled privately on our 20-acre smallholding. That means you’ll be free to explore the natural surroundings and footpaths on your doorstep.

Our 5-star safari tent is fully equipped with a kitchen, wood burning stove with a luxury bathroom and sleep six adults comfortably. A world away from everyday life, Lower Whitsleigh Farm is at the top-end of the glamping experience with the little luxuries of home.

The Safari Lodge has been built on a raised platform, with a huge timber deck. There is plenty of space to kick back and relax. Read a book, nap in the hammock, sip a coffee and take in the breathtaking views of the rolling North Devon Countryside. Or do nothing but stare up at the sky, watching the scudding clouds or at night indulge in a spot of star gazing under amazing dark skies

Settle around the firepit for long evenings of storytelling or setting the world to rights, or simply gazing into the flickering flames while toasting marshmallows.

At dusk you may spot the residential barn owl hunting in the valley or catch a glimpse of a deer in the early morning mists.

Wake up to the sound of sheep bleating, donkeys braying, pigs snorting and the birds singing. Enjoy the dark skies and the starry nights. Children in particular will enjoy seeing the farm animals and enjoying outdoor activities. We always encourage guests to meet and feed the animals or even take a tour and collect fresh free-range eggs for your breakfast. We offer free daily farm experiences at 8am.

GLAMPING AT A GLANCE
The Living area offers a comfy and spacious place to unwind, with sofa, dining area and books and games to keep everyone amused.

The luxury safari tent is always nice and warm even at the start and end of the season as the wooden floors are off the ground, the walls with wooden dividers instead of canvas and the large wood burning stove generates plenty of heat. If you’re glamping in the summer holidays you can open the windows and doors of the safari tent to enjoy the spectacular views.

The kitchen area has all you need to rustle up a feast, if you’re not cooking al fresco on the fire pit! There is a gas hob, fridge and a sink with hot water on tap. Why not book one of our fabulous food hampers too? Or, we can offer a full catering experience with fresh full English breakfasts or homemade cooked meals delivered to your door.

The bathroom doesn’t scrimp on luxury either. You have a flushing toilet, basin and hot walk in double shower. We also provide fluffy towels for your stay.

Outside, the tent has a huge and well sheltered veranda with a glass enclosure, so that you can take in the fabulous view in all weathers. There’s a table and chairs for outdoor dining and also a lower deck.

For the more adventurous glampers, pull up a log around the fire pit.
During your stay at this lodge, you'll be close to RHS Garden Rosemoor.

Atmospheric and relaxing seclusion
The safari tent is large and well constructed. It doesn’t really feel like a tent when you are inside but has all the charm of a safari tent from the outside. The beds a comfortable and the lounge and bathroom are comfortable and clean. The wood burner is great. The veranda in the early morning and late evening is a beautiful place to just sit and relax. The hosts are lovely and welcoming and being woken by braying donkeys is a most pleasant alarm clock I have had. It’s a bit of a drive on narrow bumpy country roads and you really are tucked away so it’s a 45minute drive to get to a beach. It’s only for people who really want to get away from it all. My daughters thought a wood powered hot tub would add a touch of glamour and relaxation to long dark evenings.
