Glamping

Higher Michelcombe Farm sits just outside Holne on the southern edge of Dartmoor, in a valley with woodland on one side and a brook on the other. The huts were built on the farm and insulated with wool from its own sheep.

You can mix and match: three shepherd's huts (two sleep four, one sleeps two), two larger all-year stays (Foxglove Hut and Huck's Cabin, with bathrooms and log burners), or one of fifteen marked tent pitches around the stream. A new block has showers, toilets, a utility room with washing machine, and charging lockers. Motorhomes and caravans are not accepted.
