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 place was great. We booked the big safari tent which had a smaller tent adjoining and it was perfect. We were a family of two and three so the space was easy to share. The whole place was clean, beds were really comfortable, kitchen well stocked, great placement for a 15 minute drive into Minehead and the beach. Lovely quiet site with a small playground too

fantastic site & fantastic lodgings. set in beautiful grounds & surrounded by a stunning amount of wildlife, i would highly recommend Torre to anyone wanting some time away in their own little bubble with their family. as well as bbq & firepit for the evenings, there is also a play park & many friendly farm animals to entertain the kids & lots of hidden gems scattered around the orchard to find. just 15 mins drive away is minehead with its beaches & everyshop you could need to stock up for your stay. we would 100% come back again & maybe even stay an extra few days next time.

Great little spot so quiet and peaceful. the orchard is a lovely setting for the tent and the tent is a great glamping option for those wanting camping but with the basics. The breakfast box was great, the animals added to the family friendly feel. Dog friendly for multiple dogs which is very appreciated 👍 highly recommend 👍

We've stayed at Torre Cider Farm four times now. As a family of five, we always stay in the fantastic Somerset Safari tent, but the others look just as great. Sitting on the decking amongst the apple trees with cider in hand while the kids play and the birds sing is our idea of absolute bliss, and it really has become a happy place for us. Gemma and Neil are always so helpful (including once jump-starting our car with their tractor after our son ran the battery flat playing with the radio), and there's so much to do around the local area and beyond. We love staying here and we'll be back again for sure!

We stayed at Torre Cider Co's for a couple of nights. The location is great surrounded by orchards and its very peaceful especially at night time. The accommodation itself was lovely, warm and very comfy. Defiantly recommend for anyone wanting to glamp. The kids loved the place as well. There were animals for them to see and its not far from sea side town and lots of beaches nearby. Sadly didn't get to meet the hosts themselves as they were on holiday but they kept in touch on the website and via text and were very communitive. We will be booking this place again next time we want to go to the same area.

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!
