Hide yourself away in the leafy dells of Forest Glade Holiday Park, within the serene and eye-wateringly lovely Blackdown Hills (the landscape here is so unique that it's been officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
This friendly site has been family run for more than 40 years, and it shows in the thoughtful touches that have been added to make sure visitors have a comfortable stay, from the parent and baby rooms to the ladies’ makeup corner (a tiptop addition for those planning a smart night out).
After pounding their fellow guests into submission on the all-weather tennis court, holidaymakers can relax to the max in the free heated indoor pool and sauna, then stock up for an evening’s cook-in at the licensed shop, or grab a bite from the takeaway.
Mini campers are sorted too, with a paddling pool, adventure playground, games room, indoor soft play, and a designated area for ball games. Budding David Attenboroughs should check out the wildlife information room before heading off to poke about for local flora and fauna on one of the forest walks around the park.

Local attractions
The scenery around Forest Glade obviously makes for excellent walking and cycling (you can hire bikes in Tiverton), but there are masses of other activities on offer nearby from fly fishing to flying and riding to gliding. Bon vivants will find a glut of cream teas, farmers’ markets and quality pubs and restaurants in the immediate area.
It’s easy to explore the wilds of both Exmoor and Dartmoor from here, or you can gaze your way along the spectacular Jurassic Coast (England’s first natural World Heritage Site). There are beaches at Sidmouth and Exmouth, both just over half an hour away by car, and some spectacularly scenic sea-view strolls on the South West Coast Path. Make for Lyme Regis (35 minutes) if you like mackerel – boat trips will take you out from the harbour to catch your own for the evening's dinner.
If the big yellow thing in the sky proves elusive, families can always go and drive diggers at Diggerland Devon (15 minutes' drive), play crazy golf at Pecorama (35 minutes), meet the beasts at the Axe Valley Wildlife Park (half an hour) or take a heritage tram ride on the Seaton Tramway (35 minutes) instead.
