Company information

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.

Property information

Two King size beds and 4 single beds *** SINGLE BEDS ARE 5 FOOT LONG AND 2 FOOT 6 INCHES WIDE*** set out as galley style bunk beds. A breakfast bar and lounge seating provides ample space to relax. The field is also home to 12 alpacas , 30 hens , 20 ducks and a couple of pigs. The bus shares the field with 3 glamping huts but is situated so it is not overlooked . You have lots of privacy .

The bus has a private garden area out front with a picnic bench and sun loungers/day beds on and there are fire pits and logs to hire/buy on site.
