  • Small and peaceful glampsite with spectacular rural Devon views
  • Roadford Lake 15 minutes’ drive; Dartmoor National Park half an hour
  • Stylish bell tents with firepits, private showers and a camp kitchen
Devon or Cornwall? It’s an age-old dilemma that you can easily solve with a stay at Foxcote, set between Holsworthy and Launceston on the border of both counties. This is a bijou glampsite with spacious, well-furnished bell tents sleeping up to six guests and all with spectacular views across Devon fields and valleys. Internal/external lighting, rugs, cushions, storage and outside dining paraphernalia are all present and correct, so you can enjoy a touch of luxury during your stay. Bed linen, duvets and pillows are also provided, but you’ll need to bring towels. As well as firepits for barbecues, separate loos and showers, there is a communal area close by for washing up, with tea- and coffee-making facilities and a microwave for reheating takeaways or snacks. Foxcote is run on eco-friendly lines, with eco-products in the showers and recycling facilities. Some of the meadows are left uncut to encourage wildlife, and woodpeckers, buzzards and hedgehogs have recently been spotted at the site. The rural roads are quiet enough for a stroll or bike ride, and if you need a shopping top up, the local village of Ashwater (five minutes’ drive) has a convenience store. It also has a pub – you can walk there in 25 minutes, but you may find the stagger back after a couple of pints takes longer. A couple of house rules now: please do not feed the resident horses, and the site owners also ask that any dogs remain on leads while on site, due to sheep grazing in neighbouring fields.
