Let's try glamping! I think the word glamping is a combination of glamourous and camping. It basically means that you sleep in the woods, but in some kind of existing primitive housing structure as opposed to a tent that you build.
We found a place called Loveland Farm. The website was nice and the owners were even nicer. They own a farm with several kinds of animals, and they've built several "pods". Each pod looks like half a golf ball, with a dome-like shape comprised of hexagons. There's also a nice little kitchen in a handmade wood structure. The bathroom is called compost I think, although that doesn't sound right. It means that you go to the bathroom in a hole and cover it with compost. Apparently the house flies like it.
The pod really was great! It had a full size teepee within it, plus several beds. One bed was hanging from the ceiling, which was very exciting for the kids.
During the days, we drove to nearby beaches. We went to Croyde, Woolacombe and a funny place called Westward Ho! The exclamation point is truly in the name of the town.
The beach at Woolacombe was highly rated and we agreed with the rating. It had endless sand and white hillside houses overlooking the beach. I slept on the beach, only to be awoken by the water rushing toward my head. The family thought it was very funny to watch me wake up and run.
