Rainbow Retreat

A aimé : Nice setting

N'a pas aimé: However, when arrived we observed the track, we elected not to stay as the track was steep. My partner has issues with knees and would have found the track too steep to walk up and to cart the tent etc up and down .

It appears to be a newish site so appreciate that there might be 'teething problems'. Great for a young family wishing to be out in nature ...

A aimé : Venue, our Glamping accommodation was comfortable and the host family are very friendly and kind.
Our little man enjoyed the fire pit every night and he is missing it already. Peaceful environment for retreat.

N'a pas aimé: Pushing the wheel barrow from the car park to our accommodation as we cannot drive the car there due to unsuitable road.

A aimé : It was very peaceful, the people were very helpful and friendly. Once the site has everything finished it will be an amazing place to stay.

N'a pas aimé: Having to carry all your camping gear up and down was tricky but there was a wheel barrell to use and the man helped which resolved the issue and was always on hand if you needed help.

A aimé : Location - really close to Exeter, yet very quiet rural site deep in the woods. Great open kitchen area. The access is tricky, but this is part of the adventure. You park your car up then use a wheel barrow to transport your kit to the site, down a slope, over a corrugated iron “bridge” up a slope, down a slope, you get the idea - about 150m. The campsite is in mixed deciduous woodland - oak, hazel, ash - and the pitches are cut into the slope to make level terraces. Lots of bird life in the woods. The compositing toilet works well and the shower provides plenty of hot water. Luke, who owns the site is really friendly and will help you transport your stuff from your car to the pitches. This is a small family-run campsite, with people who really care for the environment, and we were really happy to support their exciting woodland project. No Wi-Fi - did not expect that for this sort of site - but great mobile and 4G signal.

A aimé : We received as very warm welcome from Luke, who very kindly went the extra mile to make sure that our stay in the dreary rain was as comfortable as possible!

The pitches are nestled in-between beautiful oak trees and each pitch has an awesome fire pit. Would recommend a cosy stay here and will no doubt return!

A aimé : Solo female camper, felt really safe.Stayed 3 nights on the camp and it honestly has a magical feeling to it. It almost feels like you leave the rest of the world and its stresses at the car park. it's simple, basic and rustic truly does have a feeling of sleeping wild. I was stood brushing my teeth watching 2 buzzards circle and hunt for food early in the morning. For me this was just wonderful and Luke was so helpful and welcoming thank you :)

N'a pas aimé: The trek down is a bit long and bumpy, (5 mins) but it is a working progress.but maybe a bigger deeper wheelbarrow would have been more useful and reduced trips...but I also think that's what made it's so special because you did feel so deep into the woodlands...please don't change it too much maybe just a flatter path..the plans for the place sounds great but I also think too many people at one time would also lose some of its magical feel as it would be nosier...
