A stone's throw from the cabin is quirky Totnes. Full of eclectic independent shops and an array of delicious eateries, it's a brilliant town to explore for the day. On Fridays and Saturdays, you'll find the bustling weekly market in the Market Square, where you can pick up local delights to take back to your hideaway to enjoy. The Bull Inn is just the spot for a scrumptious, seasonal, local and organic breakfast, lunch or supper… the choice is yours, but the menu is not to be missed!

Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams countryside is right on your doorstep. Why not head to the picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel, where you will arrive at the edge of the River Dart. Give kayaking a go and then finish your day with a delicious bite to eat at The River Shack. For cyclists, head to Haldon Forest Park with its variety of cycling trails. If you are unable to bring your bikes with you, they are available to hire at Haldon Forest.

The post card pretty seaside town of Brixham isn't too far away. Visit the famous Golden Hind or spend a day at the beautiful Breakwater beach, followed by a dip in the outdoor Shoalstone seawater pool. There are plenty of lovely places for a spot of lunch or dinner, or perhaps a pint at one of the traditional harbourside pubs? Should you wish to take to the water, there is a ferry from Brixham harbour to the town of Torquay.

The combined riverboat and steam railway trip between Totnes and Dartmouth makes for the perfect family day out.

Extra Information

There are three other safari tents on site as well as Brownscombe Cabin (5228), Brownscombe Tabernacle (2907) and Brownscombe Roundhouse (5225), which are all part of Brownscombe Luxury Glamping. You are assured plenty of privacy during your stay as each hideaway has its own outdoor space and has been carefully positioned in a way that they avoid looking onto one another. En-route to the tent, you will find the owner's shop, Brownscombe Larder, where you can stock up on daily essentials such as bread, milk and eggs. You can even purchase a local gift to take home to someone special, as there's a range of amazing local crafts to admire. If you wish, the owner can provide barbecue hampers and delicious casseroles served hot in a le creuset pot. Just pick up each night from the barn and take back to the Yealm to enjoy (order before your holiday).

Additionally, there is a games room with table-tennis and table-football onsite (shared with the other guests). You will also find The Lodge where you can book a table to enjoy Fondue by the fire, as well as the Brownscombe Barn where pizza nights are hosted in the summer months. If you fancy a little pamper during your getaway, you can book in with the onsite beauty therapist for a relaxing massage, manicure and for other various spa treatments. There really is something for everyone here, but if you do prefer just simply relaxing in your serene sanctuary, we wouldn't blame you!
