About The Area

Longlands lies in the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the western border of Exmoor National Park. Close to some of England's best beaches, stunning countryside and wonderful woodlands the Longlands estate itself has 17 acres of woods, streams and meadows to explore with plenty of wildlife to discover right on your doorstep from deer and badgers to owls, buzzards and possibly otters too. 

There’s plenty to do at Longlands with an outdoor games field, a boating lake complete with rowing boats, a collection of games stocked in your tent for rainy days, direct access to some of Devon’s best walks and probably the best hot tub views in the UK!

Meet the hosts

Bugsie and Bella, and their two children James and Emma moved to North Devon from Twickenham in September 2011 in search of the “good life” - great surf and a view of the sun setting over the sea.  Along with their great friend Pam who agreed to work as their business partner they started their new life at Longlands. 

Bugsie continues to work in London for most of the week but at weekends loves nothing better than to chop wood, mow fields and surf whilst Bella and Pam work creating luxurious camping in a beautiful setting to give you a holiday of a lifetime.

How To Get There

Fly - The closest airport is Exeter which is approximately an hours drive from Longlands.  For more flight options fly to Bristol (approximately 2 hours drive).  From there you can either hire a car or catch the train to Barnstaple and get the 309 Fliers bus to Easter Cross Close or take the train to Tiverton Parkway and get a taxi the rest of the way

Public Transport - The nearest train station to Longlands is Barnstaple (12 miles away), however, train routes and connections often make Tiverton Parkway a more convenient station, even though it is 40 miles away. If coming from Barnstaple the Filers 309 Bus stops at Easter Close Cross, practically at the end of the drive.

Drive - Full directions on how to get to Longlands will be given in your booking confirmation 

Join the M5 Southbound. Come off M5 at Junction 27 to Tiverton.

Take the third exit off the roundabout onto A361 towards Barnstaple.

Continue over next 2 roundabouts, staying on A361.

At the fourth roundabout (Aller Dean) take third exit onto the A399 to Combe Martin. 

DO NOT follow Sat Nav and turn right off the A399 to Trentishoe and Hunters Inn. INSTEAD continue past this turning and the property on the right.

Go slowly and take very next right, after the large white road sign on the left, around the blind corner, opposite a converted Chapel.

If you pass left hand turnings to Barnstaple and Woolacombe you have just gone past us. Turn around and try again!
