Primrose Safari

Set amid the tranquil hills of West Hill near Ottery St Mary, in a spacious seven-acre meadow with only five glamping tents in it, allowing lots of privacy and space for children to play, this inviting safari tent captures the very best of Devon glamping. Blending natural beauty with creature comforts, it’s an ideal retreat for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the great outdoors.

Spend your days wandering the lanes around Ottery St Mary (2 miles), discovering the coastal trails at Sidmouth (7 miles), or enjoying a family day at the seaside in Exmouth (11 miles). Further afield, Dartmoor National Park (18 miles) offers wild moorland walks, hidden tors, and incredible views across the county.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-plan living area that brings everyone together. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up hearty meals in true glamping style, while the dining and lounge spaces invite long, relaxed evenings by the wood-burning stove.

Thoughtful touches like cosy rugs, board games and solar lighting give the space its warm, welcoming feel. When it’s time to rest, retreat to one of the comfortable bedrooms – a double and a twin – each fitted with soft bedding and blackout curtains.

A private shower room and an adjoining compost loo provide the finishing touches to this well-equipped retreat. Outdoors, life slows down.

Enjoy lazy breakfasts on the decking as the countryside wakes up around you, or spend the afternoon soaking in the wood-fired hot tub as birdsong fills the air. As night falls, light the campfire, share stories under the stars, and savour the peace that only the countryside can bring.

Adjacent to the glamping field is a centuries-old three-acre oak and bluebell woodland, which is private to the farm, where children can dam streams, make dens and play hide-and-seek, it's also perfect for dog walking. There is private parking for 2 cars available.
