The Old Mine House

The Old Mine House is a beautiful house with its own wildflower meadow (where you can camp), woodland and reservoir, covering 9 acres within the Dartmoor National Park. We offer a back-to-basics camping experience with basic facilities. We have a shower, a flushable toilet and a compost toilet on site; no electric hook-up or washing-up facilities are available. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to c

ome and join you on your holiday and we allow campfires for the traditional camping experience. We also offer a log cabin lodge and a bell tent to rent for guests looking for more of a glamping holiday. On our campsite we have table tennis, badminton, slacklining and a kids' play area open and available all hours. We can also offer activities including forest school, bushcraft, canoeing, tree climbing, yoga, massage, reflexology, martial arts, drumming, kickboxing and cooked meals (extra charges apply).We are in the process of becoming self-sufficient. Our heating, hot water and cooking is 90% from burning wood - backed up by oil for heating and hot water and electric for some cooking appliances. We plan to keep chickens and other animals and grow our own veg and fruit, we already have a small orchard. We are open to having people come stay and share their knowledge/ help out in return for any of the skills we have to offer. Plans to run retreats for individuals, groups and families, as well as have an timetable of classes throughout the week that will be open to the public. We also plan to have a "ring ahead" brunch/lunch facility for groups of walkers as we have a public footpath, and we will offer tea/coffee and light refreshments out on the lawn throughout the warmer months! We also plan to eventually offer 'outside' weddings/ wedstivals. Other than that we are open to suggestions from the community of things they would like going on and to any organisations if they would like to come use the land for events etc. Please support this venture and spread the word! many thanks in advance for your support
