Very relaxing magical place combining a novel bus, cute alpacas and easy access to the best of Devon

Family holiday. Teenage kids loved the bus (included wifi) and it was very relaxing to have alpacas wandering around outside that you could feed whenever. Easy access to walks on Dartmoor, several beaches and National Trust houses.

Fantastic trip

We stayed as 2 families of 4 and had plenty of space. We were welcomed by Josh who showed us around. Great place for the kids to run around and enjoy spending time with the animals. Plenty of information given for activities to do near by and we had an overall great trip. The bus was clean with lots of spare blankets if needed . Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Rejuvenating stay for families

The best thing is that the kids were very engaged and were happily observing the Alpacas and the other animals in the farm leaving the parents to some therapy time enjoying some board games. The property is absolutely Kids safe and then can roam around, yet they will be in our eye-sight vicinity. The facilities are fantastic and very thoughtful with splendid kitchen utensils and comfy blankets. The property is very clean, even smells nice. We really enjoyed Josh and Natalie's hospitality.

An Absolute Banger!

Really enjoyed our stay in the double decker red bus! Josh and Natalie really did a good job revamping the bus and making into a lovely space to live in. The outdoor area is also stunning with greenery all around and the cute Alpacas to keep you company. Also a perfect space to sit outside at night and enjoy the lovely, cool country breeze and have some BBQ/Bonfire. Very quiet and serene as well so very good for clearing your head out! Owners Josh and Natalie were very helpful and very friendly. You can also see how hard they work to make the property better and maintain the facilities. Surrounding area is absolutely astounding! The Dartmoor National Park is just a 20 min drive away and you can go on a discovery adventure there for days and still not see enough. Also don’t miss out on the stunning Becky falls and the lovely English Reviera. Overall a very nice experience and would definitely consider going there again!

About the host

Hosted by Host

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.
