Accessibility Guide for Coastal Cabins Glamping

Welcome

Coastal Cabins Glamping is the perfect setting for a relaxing break away from all the stresses of life.

It's Glamping at its finest. These wooden cabins feature kingsize beds for the grown ups, bunk beds for the kids, kitchenettes, en-suite shower rooms and individual decking areas. You can experience a weekend with nature without giving up life’s luxuries.

There’s plenty to do, from cooking up a feast in the BBQ cabin, to soaking in the exclusive ‘Wild Spa’ hot tub area, or fishing in the lake. Coastal Cabins in North Devon is nestled in between the breathtaking coastline and the pretty village of Hartland. With just a 1.25 miles walk to either, it’s the perfect location.
