Glamping in Devon with Hot Tub
Cuckoo Down Farm glamping in Devon is tucked away in beautiful countryside near the World Heritage coastline at Sidmouth and its beautiful, safe beaches. Enjoy a relaxing holiday in this stunning location. We have four beautifully decorated safari lodges and two gorgeous yurts, all providing relaxed and easy glamping and designed with couples and families in mind. Our latest addition, Blackberry safari tent, also comes with a wood-fired hot tub.
This farm is dog friendly and we welcome dogs to stay. Experience all the fun of the farm including ponies, chickens, bluebell woods, campfires and 30 acres of unspoilt meadow.

Our glamping tents are all in the same six acre meadow, spaced at about 30-40 yards apart from each other.
