Join us here at the naturally beautiful and peaceful Twin Oaks Glamping retreat, located in the heart of Devon, with Dartmoor and Exmoor being right on the doorstep. Just twenty miles from Exeter by car as well as being accessible by the Tarka Line train, the small, quaint Eggesford Station is just a few minutes away. If your escaping from London then we’re only two and a half hours from London Paddington.
Backing onto the River Taw, our Blackdown Shepherd’s hut is surrounded by fields, a small woodland and the old farm orchard which we are slowly planting to bring it back to its former glory.
After a busy day walking and exploring the adjacent forests, Coves and the lovely Devon Coastline as well as the superb local hospitality, enjoy relaxing in your private wood fired hot tub with a glass of wine.

Come in and make yourself at home!
What is your favourite tipple? Take your time to soak up the atmosphere and warm yourself while you choose your lunch from our delicious local menu. Comforting soup and crusty bread fresh from the oven, hearty steak and ale pie with creamy mash and veg, seasonal of course, the choice is all yours.
Out for a stroll or walking the Two Moors Way? You will need some sustenance to keep you going – a pint at the end of a walk, or even in the middle is great motivation! Your muddy boots, dogs and children are all welcome to sit awhile enjoying your meal – and bringing mud is optional!
You will love the relaxed atmosphere, variety of drinks and the mouth-watering menu. The fireside chairs are most popular and oh so relaxing – nodding off is not uncommon!

Steam trains through rolling countryside, with views out to wild moorland and the rugged coastline.
Originally opened in 1898, and closed in 1935; what you can see today at Woody Bay is just the beginning of an exciting project to rebuild one of the world's most famous and picturesque narrow-gauge railways; the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.
This initial section allows our visitors to experience a taste of what will one day become one of the ultimate narrow-gauge treasures of the world as they once again travel by train along the original route above the delightful Heddon Valley near Parracombe in Exmoor's National Park. This is the longest-closed section of railway line to have ever been reopened solely through volunteer effort anywhere in the world.
The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway is a "non-profit" organisation offering narrow-gauge train rides at Woody Bay in Exmoor National Park, with one aim: to restore fully the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.

We are situated at Blackmoor Gate which is roughly midway between Lynton and Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and South Molton. About ten miles in each direction and approximately 1,000 feet above sea level on the edge of the National Park Exmoor.

We recently refurbished the New Inn to upgrade our kitchen, bar and heating, together with improvements to the menu and beverage selection.
More ‘rustic family-run pub’ than ‘gastro’, this shows in our authentic decor, homemade food, local beverage, prices, and even the banter with guests. Plus we love experimenting with ideas for our entertainment & menus, so while seeking to source ethically where possible, suggestions are most welcome! Bear in mind: our cooking is fresh to order, and we only serve what we would put on our own table.
