Ideally situated on the beautiful North Devon coast and on the border of Exmoor National Park, you’ll discover a whole new world of natural living at Longlands, representing the simplicity of outdoor living at its most magnificent, and the perfect escape from the hectic busyness of everyday life.

You’ll find the friendly, family-run Longlands beautifully secluded in a private valley, with stunning woodland views all around.  Babbling streams and a flowing private lake with waterfalls add to the idyllic natural feel. It’s easy to see why they were awarded Gold in the 2021-22 South West Tourism Awards for the Best Glamping Business!

There’s an abundance of care and appreciation for the natural environment, too – the site has won a TripAdvisor Platinum Green Leader Award for its careful attention to sustainability and low-carbon living. Wildlife-lovers will make plenty of new friends, with deer, badgers, owls and ducks and many more as staple visitors to the 17-acre site.

Simply choose your accommodation from five stunning safari lodges just waiting to welcome you – Lundy, Lee, Luscombe, Lynton and Lynmouth.  Each lodge sleeps up to six people in a king bedroom, a twin and a double cabin bed, and are all thoughtfully designed and furnished to ensure you don’t have to do anything other than indulge in opulent relaxation.

Wood-burners at the heart of each lodge make for a cosy and romantic feel throughout, and the lodges are lit by electric LED lamps – ideal light to get started on that book you’ve been waiting to try …

Prepare a banquet fit for a woodland king in the well-stocked kitchen area, with its own larder, cool box and a spacious oven compartment built into the wood burning stove, where you’ll even find a plate-warming slot.  A small gas ring allows you to whip up the perfect mug of creamy hot chocolate, and there’s a mains-supplied sink for the ultimate camping convenience.

For extra-special evenings, why not fire up the barbecue for a sizzling feast, followed by coffee and conversation under the stars?  Toast some marshmallows for a real treat!  Or enjoy a wood-fired hot tub, positioned in its own deck above the lake and the perfect spot to unwind in.
