Hosted by Torre Cider Co
For the ultimate family Somerset experience come and stay in our award winning Somerset safari, nestled within the trees of our secluded 6 ½ acre cider orchard, on the edge of the beautiful Exmoor National Park.
All interiors are hand crafted, with the main tent having a kitchenette, an elevated double bed, bathroom with shower, mains electric with heat by way of a lovely wood burner. Outside there is a covered patio area, BBQ and fire pit area, making it the perfect get away, whatever the weather!
The Safari tent is set in the middle of our beautiful orchard. There are two tents, the larger one has a double elevated bed and there is pull out sofa bed underneath the raised double bed. It has own bathroom with shower and fully kitted out compact kitchen, with a mini fridge, single electric hob and all cooking and eating utensils. The other is a smaller tent with two, stacked single beds, designed with children in mind, all within an enclosed patio area.
The interiors are hand crafted out to a high standard, using aged cedar and repurposed apple wood, all hand carved by our friends and local artists Karina and Rob Heard, MBE. You will find a Cornish made log burner to ensure the tent is cosy on colder days. The smaller tent has a small electric heater and hot water bottles to keep the children snug at bedtime and a children's night light.
Externally Somerset Safari Tent has a large decking area with coffee tables and chairs for you to sit out on and watch the abundant wildlife that calls our orchard home. Away from the decking you will find a Webber master touch BBQ for all your outdoor cooking needs and an outside seating around a firepit, perfect for toasting marshmallows whilst you enjoy the incredibly dark skies offered by the protected Exmoor Dark Skies reserve, one of the darkest places in the country. You will find some books on astronomy inside the tent to help you identify what you are looking at.
The children will love to explore the orchard and we have a specially designed trail to delight them. Inside the tent you will find a small selection of games, books and puzzles for you to enjoy as a family.
Torre Cider Farm is an award-winning small scale cider producer. You can pre order Torre Cider's own cider and apple juice, pressed on site from our apples, and other goodies via our website to be ready for when you arrive or you can purchase from us while here.
There is a children's playground and a few very friendly farm animals to pet. We have plenty of local walks you’ll want to take once you see what the countryside has to offer, just ask for more information.
You are also very welcome to bring the doggy members of your family to Torre Cider Farm although we do ask that they be kept on a lead when other doggies are around and are never left unattended in the tent.
Please be aware we are a quiet campsite and ask for no loud music please and quiet after 10pm to ensure all guests enjoy their stay.

This was our family’s second time at Torre Cider Farm and it did not disappoint. We came with friends this time who also loved the weekend. Beautiful spot, lots to do, great food, well equipped and unique accommodation. Thank you Gemma and team!

This is a really beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The safari tent was immaculate and very comfortable. Our kids loved the orchard and the animals. Thank you to the owners who kindly helped us jump start our car prior to our departure!

Great place for our October half term get away. We particularly liked the separate sleeping tent for our teens. It was very cosy with the wood burner lit and there were lots of little touches that made it a special place to stay in like supplying us with a hammock to put up in the orchard and marshmallows for the fire pit.

I stayed at Torre Cider farm with my two children. We were enchanted as soon as we arrived! The safari tent was well-equipped and full of thoughtful touches. The log burner made the tent very cosy. The night light, comfy beds and the small heater in the children’s tent made for a good night’s sleep for everyone! We loved meeting and feeding the farm animals and playing in the play area. We had a lovely breakfast at the cafe and took pizza back to our tent in the evening, where we sat outside next to the fire pit with the fairy lights on! The children also loved lying in the hammock and exploring the orchard. The cider, apple juice and local beers were also lovely! Nearby we visited the pub (also with play area) and Dunster beach. Overall, a truly wonderful weekend exploring nature and we’d love to come back!

We had a lovely, peaceful stay in the Somerset Safari Tent! Such a pretty setting and lovely to walk around the little apple farm 😍. We loved the animals too! The tent is super for a family, our teen twins had their own tent which was great. Loved lazing in the beanbags on the sunny deck. Great fire pit and a jar of marshmallows was left for us too. Small things to sort would be to fix the fairy lights - we felt very left out looking at all the twinkling magic across the orchard at the teepees lights ;) Watch out for the low doorframe to the bathroom if you are tall - we all hit it with our heads once or twice even knowing it was low. Also, the one plug is the mini fridge so don’t unplug it ;) Great spot to chill out and explore the area from. Delicious breakfast at the farmhouse cafe and of course sampling the local cider ;) Super hosts too and such friendly staff at the cafe. All in all highly recommend for an unplugged break with your little family x

We have just got back from our stay. It’s was beautiful! It was so well equipped even having some marshmallows to toast on the fire pit. The kids really enjoyed the open space as did the dog. We would definitely return!!

We had a wonderful break at Torre Cider Farm. It was wonderfully secluded and the kids loved playing in the playground, exploring the fairy garden, feeding the animals and hanging around in hammocks. It was so relaxing and the safari tent was really comfortable with everything we needed, perfect for hanging out in the orchard. We loved sitting out at night watching the stars come out and the bats swoop overhead. The pub down the road is walking distance, as is Cleeve Abbey. Thanks for a lovely stay.
