Stop hovering over the ‘Book Now’ button - you won’t regret your decision! We loved our stay in the ‘Maple’ Safari Tent, which featured a log burner, comfortable beds, luxury toiletries, and even an Easter egg hunt.

Emma and Matt have truly thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. There are numerous opportunities to relax or explore the surrounding area. The beautiful River Exe is just a short walk away, perfect for minnow fishing, paddling, and picnicking. The games room and bar were a huge hit with all of us, and we can’t wait to bring family and friends to share this experience together.

Glamping at its very best! We look forward to returning very soon.

Our family had the most wonderful long weekend stay. The bedrooms were cozy, with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was clean with a lovely hot shower and thick towels. We loved the easy to cook-in kitchen, and the wood fire stove was the icing on the cake. It was so nice that the little things were all thought of and the welcome basket was so thoughtful. We especially loved the beautiful walk and picnic down by the river. The location is so convenient to explore the local area and beyond.

Emma & Matt were easy to reach with any questions and super hosts. The boys loved the games room the “vintage” Mario was so cool! We wish we could have stayed an entire week - the birdsong each morning was so beautiful. Such a special place.

"Our three-year old adored the cabin bed, mud kitchen and her own personal playground! We loved the amazing views from the deck, the bbq, and the honesty shop. Everything we needed had been thought of. The location is amazing - you can drive to north or south beaches in less than an hour. Loads of days out nearby - we loved Killerton and Sidmouth beach. There’s also the railway centre next door, and you can take a picnic to the river meadow and have a paddle. Owners Emma and Matt were so welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back - hoping to bring extended family for a big group holiday!"

"Thank you for thinking of everything and making our stay so comfortable. The tent was spotless and well equipped. Our girls (1 and 3) loved the toys, cabin bed and space to roam. The location was perfect and we had some great day trips out. We miss watching the sunsets and can't wait to return!"

“Beautiful location and extremely comfortable glamping pods. Very contained so kids can literally run wild. Lots to explore in the local area and two pubs within stumbling distance. We would certainly recommend ordering the paella, it’s delicious!”

The Ellis Family (August 2022)

“We had a fantastic Easter, 4-day break at Valleyside Escapes. Everything is well thought out and you want for nothing on site. All the best places to visit are within a short car journey. Very dog and child friendly. Emma and Matt are great hosts and on hand should you need them to impart local knowledge. We will be back and will bring friends.”

The Bottomley Family, Wiltshire (April 2022)

“A beautiful location, wonderful, friendly hosts, with lots to do and see! Accommodation is of a very high standard. The location is spectacular, surrounded by breath-taking walks. The whole family had a great time and will make this an annual break!”

The Russell Family, Benfleet (September 2021)

“We have just returned from a lovely break and can honestly say we didn't want to leave. Emma and Matt have thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and stress free. It is the most beautiful location and the tents are amazing. Everything is so clean and well thought out we made some great memories. We really can't wait to go back.”

The Burke Family, Hampshire (June 2021)

“We booked all three tents with friends. The site is fab - contained so that children and dogs can't wander too far, and great facilities including a fantastic play area. The tents themselves are huge, very practical and have everything you need for a few days away. The site is in a great setting - quiet and in the middle of the countryside, facing the sunset and close to the Exe river / a beautiful walk to meadows and paddling plus the Devon Railway Centre which is perfect for young train enthusiasts. Good shops, including a farm shop, are nearby and it's not far to the beach and places like Canonteign Falls and Killerton National Trust. Perfect few days enjoyed by all!”
