Add your business details- Luxury eco-friendly glamping close to the north Devon coast

Luxury, glamping, adventure activities and viewsome vistas: what a fab fusion of features there is at Koa Tree Camp, close to the north Devon coast 25 minutes' drive from Bideford.
This is an eco-friendly site that tries to work as closely as possible with its surrounding nature, with wildflowers planted everywhere and long grass all around. The glamping facilities have a similar ethos of treading lightly on the environment: wood-fired hot water and waste water recycling are among the eco-conscious aspects thrown into the private bathrooms, and there's a reed bed waste system.
This is a rather fab spot in which to settle for a Devon holiday: it's three miles from Welcombe Mouth beach, and surrounded by splendid coast path walks. Surfing can definitely be on the cards too: for that, you'll want to head to Sandymouth beach (nine miles away) or Bude (11 miles), which has surf lessons and other watersports as well as excellent stretches of beach.
Stays here are in cosy units that have proper beds and woodburning stoves, plus a deck with outdoor seating and a barbecue – just the spot for an alfresco evening looking out over the wildflower meadows. Elsewhere there’s a bigger communal kitchen, where each unit has its own cupboard full of all the kit you need to sort meals. As well as that, each unit has its own private bathroom, and a dedicated fridge to fill with whatever goodies you fancy.
Take a wander around the rest of the site to find picnic areas and a firepit for campfire evenings; you're also likely to meet the alpacas Al and Chewy and spot wildlife including hedgehogs, hawks, cranes and a resident barn owl.

Local attractions
Some of the best surf in the land foams just a few miles from Koa Tree Camp, for both experienced boarders and beginners. If you've never learned, this is very much the place to start – head to Bude for lessons.
Koa Tree's local village is Welcombe, by the sea on the Devon/Cornwall border (its beach Welcombe Mouth is tricky to get to but well worth it when you get there). The village has a few craft workshops run by talented types, and artistic views of the South West Coast Path towards Lundy.
Many more beaches are within an easy drive, like Westward Ho! (20-25 minutes) or Croyde and Woolacombe within a 40-minute drive. And more coast too: if hiking is your holiday thing, you might like to know that the South West Coast Path's Hartland to Bude section has been voted one of the most stunning on all the 630-mile run. More? Hikes and strolls on Exmoor, Bodmin and Dartmoor are all a short drive away.
