"We had a wonderful last minute stay here. Kate and Richard were fantastic hosts and very welcoming. We arrived a bit later than planned but it was no trouble. They gave us local recommendations and welcomed us onto their property. The paddock itself is perfect. The dogs could roam free, we hardly saw a soul the whole time we were there. The hosts also helped us out with a mallet which we forgot and couldn’t me more willing to help. The toilets and shower were squeaky clean every day. There are a couple of resident dogs, who we saw a few times, they were very lovely and didn’t bother us at all. There are also fresh laid eggs each morning, and they let us take our sons to see the hens in their garden which the boys loved. We will be returning here and we can’t wait. Perfect location, beautiful farm, wonderful hosts."

 

"We had a lovely stay at Heathfield Escapes and it really was an escape. In wonderful countryside, with private pitches, all with picnic tables, chairs and fire pit. The walks around the large site are a bonus, with its own small wood and wild camping area. We saw lots of wildlife there too. If you are expecting Caravan Club style tidy rows etc, then this is not for you, its rustic, wilder and freer but has everything you need. The owners are so helpful and friendly and go over and above to cater for you. Close to many nice places to visit and beaches, but you will need a car as it is out in the country a bit. Recommend."

 

"We had a wonderful May Bank Holiday stay with friends and our three dogs in the Paddock. The facilities were absolutely spot on—clean, well thought out, and had everything we needed. The setting was beautifully peaceful and tranquil, the perfect escape from everyday life. We were fortunate to have clear nights during our stay, and the starry skies were truly breathtaking. It made for some magical evenings around the fire. Kate and Richard made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. They were warm, helpful, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The secure space meant our dogs could be off lead the whole time, enjoying the freedom and open space, which was such a bonus for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to return!"

 

"We had the most wonderful time camping at Kate and Richard’s paddock - they had sent us over clear instructions on how to get there and on arrival had given us a tour and were kind enough to help us shelter from the rain on our first night. The paddock was in beautiful surroundings and the local area had lots to explore that we barely scratched the surface of - next time! Thanks again 😊"

 

"Thank you for our lovely few days. The yurt was magical and the surroundings so beautiful and peaceful. Our boys loved the chickens too. We hope to be able to return one day. Fingers crossed!"

"Richard and Kate were so welcoming and helpful, we felt right at home in the paddock. There were 6 of us staying in 3 tents and our lurcher puppy, the paddock was perfect, spacious, peaceful, private and dog proof. We love the South Hams and found lots of lovely dog-friendly places to eat, and doggy beaches. The perfect break, thank you!"

 

"We loved our stay here, the paddock was perfect for our dog to run freely in, the farm was beautiful and close to really fantastic beaches, the shower was warm and clean and the toilets sparkling! Thank you so much, we will be back soon."

 

"Had an amazing stay at Heathfield escapes! Kate and Richard were always friendly and extremely helpful with anything we needed. Pitch two was in a lovely secluded area with fire pit and bench. We have already recommended to friends and family, this is the perfect campsite for a peaceful break surrounded by nature! We will definitely be back! Many thanks to Richard and Kate for a holiday to remember."

"We were lucky enough to be able to book this beautiful place last minute for the Easter bank holiday weekend. We stayed in the paddock which is a very large area and completely secure. The sun loungers and firepit are a lovely touch.  Richard and Kate are very welcoming and we look forward to returning and trying out one of the wild camping pitches in the valley."

"Loved our stay, beautiful location and yurt. Kate and Richard were very welcoming and made us feel at home!"

"Camping in the valley was beyond my expectation. I’d walk down to my pitch either through the fields, or the bluebell wood. All I could hear were the sheep, birds and my crackling fire - it was a real retreat. Despite camping in a storm, the valley and the levelled pitch created a natural windbreak.  It felt like wild camping, whilst having the reassurance there were good people up the valley. Kate and Richard couldn’t have been more hospitable, going above and beyond in welcoming me to their haven."
