Rosebud Ranch

Luxury bell tent on a secluded Devon alpaca farm with moorland views
A 20-minute drive to Exmoor National Park, and 45 minutes to Dartmoor
Outdoor kitchen and woodfired bath; pubs within 20 minutes' walk

The bell tent at Rosebud Ranch is tucked away on an eco-friendly off-grid alpaca farm, sitting between Dartmoor and Exmoor in Devon. This adults-only spot is smashing for couples looking for romantic getaways, and it’s within easy reach of spectacular beaches and moorland. But that’s not all. Far from it, in fact. This 13-acre working farm is home to alpacas, sheep, horses, hens and bees, plus a dog and two cats, and the bell tent stands right next to the mum-and-baby alpaca paddocks, so the cria (baby alpacas) can keep you entertained as they play zoomies in the evenings. The alpaca and sheep fleeces go into various products that you can buy from the farm (with orders also taken for bespoke items such as rugs for a truly one-off souvenir of your stay). The adjoining woods are home to deer, owls, foxes, bats and birds of prey, with pheasants and hares milling around in the daytime. This is a dark-sky area with amazing sunsets and star-filled skies after dark – it gets pitch black so a torch is essential. For a special experience, try taking a soak in the outdoor woodfired bath in the evening – you can watch the alpacas graze while the sun sets. You can pick up barbecue bits and bobs for the barbecue in South Molton (10 minutes’ drive) and there are a couple of country pubs with a 20-minute walk for a taste of Devon cider and excellent food.
