    Brilliant few days, away from all the noise and busyness of everyday life. The property is very well equipped, they thought of every detail, especially for the children! Very secluded, perfect if you're looking for a quiet break without the hassle...

Company info

Dartmoor Reach Alpaca Farm is owned and run by Josh and Natalie Hyson with a little help from Romy (10) and Cerys (9), our beautiful daughters. We moved here in 2015, started farming Alpacas in 2019 and opened for ‘glamping’ in 2021. The Big red bus arrived in 2022. We are a very laid back family. We enjoy growing our own meat and veg , collecting our own eggs , the countryside, camp fires and a drink down the pub. Natalie is a fully qualified yoga instructor with an on site studio.

The bus has a private garden area out front with a picnic bench and sun loungers/day beds on and there are fire pits and logs to hire/buy on site. Dartmoor Reach is a working farm so don’t be surprised to see Alpacas outside the front door, hens pecking around the field and pigs rootling around in the mud . There is a small play area for the children with a mud kitchen, wendy house, slide and rope swing. Josh and Natalie live on site and ...
