Details checked 6 August 2026 Β· source: Google Places The Orchard Retreat in mid-Devon offers tent and glamping pitches with private bathrooms, a shared kitchen, and an open-air bathing option. ## About The Orchard Retreat You may think camping and luxury don't really belong together, but this intimate mid-Devon spot sets out to prove otherwise. At The Orchard Retreat, just bring your tent, bedding and provisions – each of the handful of pitches comes with its own private lockable bathroom complete with shower, toilet, towels, hairdryer and hand soap. For something more indulgent, book a soak in the 'Hidden Tubhouse', an open-air bathroom with twin cast iron baths under the stars (free to use, though the site asks you to stick to natural products). A well-equipped shared kitchen means you needn't rough it at mealtimes either, stocked with everything from fridges and cookware to teabags and washing-up liquid. Outside, there's a communal firepit, badminton court and a cob pizza oven available to hire. When you fancy venturing further, the local farm shop and cafΓ© are a 10-minute stroll, the village pub 20 minutes on foot, and Crediton's shops a short drive. It's a thoughtfully done site, though with so much on offer, pitches don't come cheap. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ• No ✨ Glamping available βœ“ Yes πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ• No ## Pitch types - β€’ Non-electric grass and sand tent pitch (private bathroom amenities) Pitch details as listed by the booking provider β€” availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Hook-up ⚑ Electric hook-up βœ“ πŸ”Œ EV charging βœ• ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• Games room Play area Bath available Drying room Free wifi Ice pack freezing Internet access Launderette Picnic table Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area Wifi D. of E. welcome Family friendly Motorcycle friendly ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 2 takeaways deliver to this postcode (EX17 4BA) Peri Peri β˜… 5.0 Β· Chicken, Burgers Yummy Tummy Chinese β˜… 5.0 Β· Chinese, Thai Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ### πŸ›΅ Deliveroo β€” 2 restaurants nearby Peri Peri Chicken Yummy Tummy Chinese Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [deliveroo.co.uk](https://deliveroo.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Lidl 3.9 miles - Morrisons, Crediton 4 miles - Tesco, Crediton 4.3 miles - Sainsbury's, Exeter 8.2 miles - Co-op, Exeter 8.2 miles - Aldi, Exeter 8.6 miles - Asda, Wellington 18.8 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.

This was our second stay, this time in Apple Tree cottage, and it was perfect. With warm, sunny weather, we took advantage of our quiet surroundings with lovely lazy walks, use of the pizza oven with Orchard Retreat's very own apple juice as an accompaniment, and use of the outside twin tub bathroom - important to say that it has both hot and cold water to fill your tub as you please! We visited the local farm shop, just a short walk away, and can highly recommend the cooked breakfasts, cakes and ice cream. This break was exactly what we needed for our first full week off this year. Im already looking forwars to our next visit. Thank you to Vicky and Nick for making us feel so welcome. 3 weeks ago Β· via Google Sabrina Weber β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… We stayed at the Cider Barn for a week. The house is comfortably furnished and we had plenty of space. Nothing is missing, the kitchen is superbly equipped with everything you need. The grounds are very spacious and offer plenty of room for walks. It is very quiet and very beautiful. Everything can be used, and we were even able to pick and eat apples (which the children especially enjoyed). For children, there is a playhouse, swings, table tennis table, and badminton net, as well as lots of games (indoor and outdoor). Another highlight is the outdoor bathtubs. Vicky was very friendly when we contacted her in advance, and everyone is very helpful. During our stay, we could contact her at any time for tips and questions. All in all, it was a restful and relaxing stay. A little home away from home. We really enjoyed our vacation and will definitely be back! 10 months ago Β· via Google Una Crompton β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… We booked both Cider Barn and Apple Tree Cottage as we were attending a family wedding in Crediton. Deciding to extend our stay for 6 days was the best decision we made. The cottages were equipped with everything we needed, exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The welcome goodies were delicious and very much enjoyed as were the doggy treats for our dog Maisie. Each cottage has a private garden that opens out on to a meadow with stunning views. Daily walks were enjoyed by all of us, particularly Maisie. Inside the Gallery there is a pool table, dart board and numerous board games and outside in the grounds, badminton, table tennis, swings and climbing frame for younger visitors. The Al fresco bathroom was a great experience and one that even my 95yr old dad enjoyed, claiming that after his shower he felt invigorated and 20yrs young again. Maybe we should have stayed longer!! Vicky and Nick are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble.
