Dear Gary & Linda
All 7 of us (4 adults and 3 boys) enjoyed our time here. We saw the stars and fed the animals. We didn’t expect to have that experience with our hosts Linda & Gary as it was our first-time glamping. We used the lodge as a base and went sightseeing around the south of England. Thank you for cooking pizza for us.
Everybody loved it here. We really enjoyed pizzas & animal feeding. We loved our cabin and the honesty shop so much.
Wonderful stay here, beautiful places to see with lots to do and great hospitality from Gary & Linda. We loved meeting and feeding the animals and the pizza was also amazing! Thanks for having us.
Dear Linda & Gary
We wanted to say thank you for an incredible stay. The tents are beautiful and your attention to detail is impeccable. You really have thought of everything. We loved the pizza night, the cream tea was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed feeding the animals. The hot tub was an amazing addition to our stay we have made some lovely memories on your farm that we will always cherish. Thanks so much.
Another wonderful say on your beautiful farm! We have a feeling this will become a yearly treat for us – we love it here. Thank you for all the amazing and thought and care that goes into every detail. PS Linda your meals and baking are delicious. X
We had an amazing break at Stag including beautiful sunshine and coastal walks. Linda & Gary are the perfect hosts! The hot tub is just amazing. Favourite places are Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Beer. This was the perfect Easter break for all of us to get together. Thank you.
We had an amazing time here at Lower Keats. We had everything we needed and coped fine with the lack of electronics! The weather was cold but the sun made an appearance long enough to sit in it! A definite highlight was feeding the lambs and chickens. This place would be glorious in the summer! Hot tub was lovely, enjoyed looking up at the stars! Thank you muchly from The Newman Family x
The second visit, brought the family this time! The lodges were lovely and enjoyed the hot tub in Deer lodge. wonderful place to get together with family. Love it here. Thank you for another lovely holiday!
What a wonderful place, we have loved our stay so much! Thank you, Linda & Gary, Cobb lodge is beautiful, and all the extra details are lovely. The showers are amazing. The kids say it’s their best holiday ever! A great location with lots of lovely beaches and areas to visit. We really hope to come back again.
Dear Linda & Gary
Thank you so much for a fantastic stay in Cobb Lodge, we all had the best time!
Pizza night was great fun and a lovely way to meet people from the other tents. We loved how all the children got on so well and had the freedom of playing until late in the evening.
We will definitely be returning next year!
Dear Gary & Linda, Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday, we absolutely loved Glamping! The food and facilities were amazing (especially the showers). It was the type of holiday we all needed to take time out of our busy lives and really wind down and enjoy the simple life. The kids made new friends and Maggie really was in her element living the farm/beach life. We will be back again.
Dear Linda & Gary
We had a great time at your wonderful place we really had to sit down and relax! which we definitely did. We enjoyed the peace and quietness.
You are lovely hosts, and we very much enjoyed our talks! The animal feeding was a great treat for the kids, they loved it!
Would be great to visit again!
Tips: Lyme Regis! And the market at Bridport on Saturday.
A beautiful spot! Linda & Gary were so welcoming, and the kids loved the animal feeding! We definitely be back, thank you!
We are on a charity walk across the country (1345 across the UK). We contacted Linda & Gary just looking for a place to pitch our tent, and we got offered one of these beautiful luxury lodges. 10 days into our walk at 24 miles a day, this was just what we needed. They fed us with delicious pizza and did everything to promote our work. Thanks, Linda & Gary, this place is amazing and you couldn’t have found nicer people if you tried.
Dear Linda & Gary
What can I say?! We don’t want to leave!
The facilities are amazing – you’re thought of everything. Warm & cosy and the children absolutely loved every minute of it. Watching them playing with new friends across the field whilst sitting on the veranda was very special.
We will definitely be back, next time for the whole week!
Thank you again for a brilliant stay.
Another spectacular stay here at Lower Keats. We’ve enjoyed the views, the beautiful tent, quality time with each other, chess, charades, and chasing after our littlest in the field. Already excited to return next year! What a place.
Favourite places with a 6, 5 & 1-year-old: Lyme Regis, Beer, Charmouth, Axevalley Wildlife Park. See you next year Linda & Gary! x
We had an amazing time at Lower Keats farm while the weather was beautiful. My sister and I spent hours running around the field, flying kites, riding bikes, and making noise. Thank you to Gary who took the time to let us feed the animals and thank you to Linda who made it possible for us to enjoy our stay. We are so sad to leave as we have had such a great time, but we will try to come back another time. Imogen & Charlotte. PS highlights were Lyme Regis and animal feeding.
We had a wonderful, enjoyable stay here at Lower Keats Farm, Stag tent. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The pizzas on our last night were lovely. All the animals are adorable, and the views are amazing. All the local towns are super nice. Overall had an amazing stay in the super cosy tent and would recommend it.
What a superb place to be, so lovely to be at one with nature and be able to switch off from everyday strains of work and electronics. Everything catered for. Recommend the tasty pizza night and animal feeding. Lovely hosts, so friendly, helpful, and clearly put a lot of time into this wonderful Glamping experience. We would happily come back! Highly recommend Lyme Regis and food at the Tytherleigh Arms – absolutely delicious. Loved the cosy comforts, candles, beds, and beanbags. Log burner was a hit especially for chilly evenings and made it cosier. Would recommend and visit again. Thank you for a lovely time.
April 2022
Myself, husband, 3 grown up children & 2 grandchildren (plus 2 dogs) in two of the fantastic lodges. We had a really lovely stay for my birthday!! My first ‘glamping’ experience, everything you need here, lovely shower! We’ve loved exploring the local area, loved pizza night, loved everything!!
We were floored by how beautifully presented the cabin was on our arrival (and also the warm welcome ?) Whilst we had to leave an evening earlier than we expected we had a wonderful time and cannot wait to come back! (Poorly puppy). Everything about our stay has been so relaxing, with everything we needed easily available. We cooked a veggie roast in the wood stove and enjoyed our candle-lit dinners with the wonderful views over the hills and stars at night. Having so many dog friendly places to visit so close: The Donkey Sanctuary, Fern Animal Sanctuary meant we were able to enjoy our time here with our two greyhounds (Khalli & Bo). Thank you also for the dog treats on arrival – they loved the Bonio’s. We loved the shower – it’s got better pressure than our one at home! ? Just generally felt very spoilt and grateful for our time here. Thank you.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! We are glamping converts. Every detail has been thought of from the gorgeous toiletries to the hot water bottles. The children loved feeding the animals and making friends with the neighbours. We’ve had excellent food from Swim in Lyme Regis and Sunday lunch at The Cotley Inn. We wish we could stay longer.
Lovely few days spent at Lower Keats. Everything has been thought of and Gary and Linda are always on hand for anything you need. Kids loved animal feeding and we enjoyed pizza night.
Thank you very much Gary and Linda for creating this wonderful place and for making us feel so welcome! We had a wonderful weekend here, with surprising amounts of sunshine, which made it even better. We wish you all the best and good luck with creating a new pond for the ducks. We loved the pizza, stroking the sheep and brushing the pigs. The tent was really high quality and impressive. Thank you.
We have had a wonderful stay at Lower Keats and even had amazing weather! The pizza night was a brilliant idea and you have really thought of everything. We all enjoyed a trip on the Seaton Tramway and Bruce the dog enjoyed his first time in the sea at Seaton beach. Highly recommend the Sunday lunch at the Tytherleigh Arms. Thanks again.
Well, this was our first experience of glamping, but it certainly won’t be our last. Our only fear is that we have been spoilt rotten by the wonderful facilities here at Lower Keats Farm. Gary and Linda are brilliant hosts – friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We would thoroughly recommend: Pizza night, Forde Abbey, Branscombe beach, South Devon Railway & Beer beach. Already looking forward to our next visit!
We had a great time once we unplugged from the crazy hectic world and recharged our batteries in the sun – like your fab solar lights! Pizzas a definite hit and ice creams form the shop – so scrummy! Dillon our dog loved romping in the fields, making friends and learning to swim in the sea. Hope to be back one day!
We feel very lucky to have stayed in your exceptionally beautiful campsite Gary and Linda! We enjoyed feeding the animals, playing on the playground ad pizza night. The tent worked really well for us all and Frankie loved having it as her house for the long weekend. Hopefully see you next summer!
This has been awesome! I loved staying here, a lovely venue with a cosy tent and cute animals. Lots of really cool places nearby to walk and drive to. I would like to stay again soon.
Another great stay at Lower Keats, it was as magical as it was the first time around. We discovered Sidmouth for the first time, lovely little town with a good selection of shops and restaurants, well worth a visit. The highlights for us are always the regular trips to Exmouth beach, to walk the dogs. Make sure you get the tide times right though! When the tide is out, you can walk for miles, wonderful. Thanks again to Gary and Linda for providing such am amazing experience. We will be back again.
We have had such a wonderful stay – the lodge far exceeded our expectations as native beach ‘holidayeers’ – holidaying in this country and in a tent (albeit a luxurious one) was faced apprehensively but we have loved it! The lodge is warm, cosy and had everything we needed for a 3night stay. Thank you to Linda & Gary for being so welcoming! We will see you again.
Dear Linda & Gary.
Wow! Where to start? Your friendly welcome began our wonderful stay. We’ve seen some wonderful beaches and experienced Devon and Dorset’s hospitality. We loved Beer, Charmouth, Lyme Regis and Seaton. The weather has been interesting, but we survived 70mph winds and basked in glorious sunshine. The tents were marvellous, packed with everything we needed, and the shower was perfect!! Always hot! The week was topped off with a communal game of cricket with other glampers! Thanks so much.
Such a fantastic holiday! Looking forward to coming again to this beautiful place.
Thank you so much for making this amazing experience – we’ve lovely every bit of it! It’s been so much fun, and we hope to come back again! The weather has been amazing the whole time, thank you again.
Our weekend was the best ever! Lower Keats Glamping is amazing, and we really enjoyed it even though the weather was varied. We enjoyed Seaton beach; Linda & Gary are the best hosts ever!
Our family have enjoyed our stay here at Lower Keats. I have enjoyed walking down to the honesty shop and seeing the farm animals you have and roasting marshmallows. We all loved pizza night; it was fab. The view from here is absolutely lovely and it was very cosy in the tents at night.
Fabulous stay by a party of 5. Gary’s pizzas are perfect for a Saturday night in! We will be back! Thank you, Linda and Gary.
Thank you so much for such a lovely stay in your beautiful lodges. We have stayed in something similar previously in Norfolk but your set up was so much more special with all the little touches – local toiletries, solar lamps and the most amazing shower!! We are regulars to the area but visited the caves at Beer for the first time, which was really interesting but do take extra layers – it’s 90mins in 6 degrees! We love The Millside restaurant in Lyme, also Swim on the sea front, takeaway scallops, and chips from the kiosk on Lyme beach is just about the best holiday beach lunch ever. The kids loved feeding the animals – such a highlight for them, especially bottle feeding the baby cows! We’ll be back!
Sue’s 60th Birthday Weekend. Thank you for such a beautiful weekend stay in your lodge. So well-equipped and facilities, especially the shower! You’ve thought of everything felt like a real home and warm and cosy too. Great hosts and welcome on first day’s walkaround, especially tips on the fire. Thank you for the great hospitality for the football last night, food well received too.
Magical doesn’t quite cut it! Incredibly beautiful tents accompanied by equally beautiful views. There’s something quite special about being set up in the country, rain on the tent, fire roaring and playing games as a family! We loved feeding the animals, exploring neighbouring towns, playing games at the front, and relaxing in the evening with Linda and Gary whilst enjoying their yummy pizzas (100% recommend) So much thought has gone into this place, enjoy every moment, it’s truly special. We look forward to returning. Thank you. PS: Get the chilli jam from the honesty shop.
This is really a special place – it does feel quite magical! We’ve been lucky to have some lovely sunny days and enjoyed the local beaches. The adventure began a bit dramatically as a thunderstorm hit just as we had unloaded but it really added to the feeling of adventure for us all. Our little ones (4years and a 9n month old) have loved it, we all enjoyed the animal feeding and the relaxed atmosphere and surroundings. The tents are incredible, and I never want to leave that shower! We can’t wait to book again and hope to bring friends along too! Pizzas were great, shop fab and hosts lovely! To future guests – ENJOY!
Thank you for a fab time glamping, everything had been perfectly thought through! The showers were a delight. Lots of time spent walking: Beer to Branscombe, with lunch at the fountain head. Budleigh to Otterton – lunch at Otterton Mill – open rare beef sandwiches were a winner. Golden Cap to Charmouth. Dinner at the Tytherleigh was also delish. Thanks again.
Great time, great place, great hosts, shame about the weather. Loved it!
Perfect post GCSE/A Level getaway. Lovely tent, comfortable beds and stunning views. Although 16 and 18 years old – children hugely enjoyed feeding the animals. Also enjoyed a trip to The Tunnel Tree Tops and on the Seaton Tramway. Gary and Linda were great hosts and we felt well looked after, thank you. Just what we all needed. Honesty shop was useful and would recommend Aunty Pat’s Marmalade!
What a fabulous fun filled 4 days we’ve had! We will never forget it. The glamping experience itself thanks to your hospitality and thoughtfulness, we loved staying in Cobb lodge. We’d love to come back thanks so much.
You are wonderful hosts and the place you have created is beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to see you again sometime in the future. Wishing you all health, happiness, and every success.
Thank you for letting us stay. We really enjoyed feeding the animals. Lovely hosts. Luckily the weather was so nice.
All of us enjoyed our time here. We thank you for letting us feed the lambs and chickens and grooming the pigs. We would love to come and visit again.
Another amazing week here at Lower Keats Glamping. Our third time her and our children are already asking to come back again next year! Gary & Linda you really have created the most wonderful family holiday retreat and we’ll always be grateful to you for the amazing family memories we have made here. Thank care and see you next year, I hope! PS Linda, the girls will be wanting scones all the time at home now! So delicious!
Part of the ‘Holloway 26’ who stayed in 5 tents for May half term. Ages ranged from 8 to 78 with 5 x 20 somethings and teenagers. All had a fabulous time. Enjoyed the walk up to Golden Cap from Seatown and the strenuous 7 miles from Lyme Regis to Seaton (though wished we’d started before 2pm)! The paddock for cousins games wea great fun and the last night was spent playing herd mentality in The Hive which suited a family gathering well. Impressed with the tents – bed fabulous and warm and cosy with the stove – very grateful we had gas for cooking (unlike featherdown apparently) Being organised is a must given the fridge/cool box set up!! Well done Linda & Gary.
We had an amazing time at Lower Keats and the weather was beautiful too! The kids loved the animals and playing in the grounds, as well as pizza night. The tent was cosy and beautifully decorated and the hot tub awesome too. It took a while to heat up first time but worth it in the end – definitely recommend. Followed your recommendations and had lunch over at The Old Inn and The Tytherleigh Arms – both incredible. Thanks again for the hospitality! Until next time.
A wonderful stay at Lower Keats – everything was 5 Star (pizza night, animal feeding, welcome and hospitality) – except for Storm Noah which was minus 1 Star as it really challenged our fire building skills! Despite the weather we managed to see an RNLI lifeboat launch in Lyme Regis, saw a seal in Lyme Regis harbour and found a fossil on Charmouth beach. The shower was amazing on the cold mornings – even our ‘watershy’ 10 year old son. Look forward to returning in warmer weather.
A wet but wonderful few days away. A real escape! When the clouds parted we enjoyed exploring the coastline and had a wonderful meal at the Anchor at Seatown – an incredible spot overlooking the beach. We hope to be back with the kids as both loved it. Thanks for your generous hospitality – cream tea and pizza cooking in the rain! Thank you.
Dear Linda & Gary
Thank you for having us. We had an amazing stay in Beer lodge. Linda & Gary are great hosts. Enjoyed seeing the new piglets especially when two escaped 😊
Dear Linda & Gary
Thank you so much for a wonderful few days at Lower Keats, Cobb Lodge was superb and every detail had been considered. Excellent showers!! We enjoyed Lyme Regis, Abbotsbury & Golden Cap. Dinner at The Cotley Inn was very good. The boys enjoyed feeding the animals very much. The shop was also very well stocked.
Thank you again.
Dear Linda & Gary
Whilst the weather wasn’t on our side, we had a lovely stay in stag! The accommodation was dreamy, as was the shower. The vista is first class as are Gary & Linda. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.
Dear Linda & Gary
This was a very last-minute spontaneous booking, and we had the most wonderful stay at Lower Keats! Even in the rain, we enjoyed every minute. Our kids absolutely loved the cabin bed – what an amazing touch. In fact, there were so many brilliant, thoughtful touches. The kids also had the best time collecting eggs from the chickens and feeding the animals. They learned so much! Linda and Gary were fabulous hosts, and you also make the best pizzas ???? Even making our daughter happy with the most delicious gluten-free pizza! We will definitely be back. Thank you again.
We love it here; it is our 3rd year in a row and we will keep coming back unless we are banned. It’s the perfect place to look back and enjoy life. Linda & Gary are great people, and we enjoy their company each year. See you next year. Best glamping ever!
Had an amazing week here in the heatwave. We loved the animal feeding and being on a farm generally. All the food from the honesty shop was wonderful and we enjoyed BBQing. Steaks were outstanding, and the cream tea and pizzas were fab too. We visited lots of beaches (Seaton, Charmouth, Beer, Sidmouth, and Lyme Regis and liked Lyme best followed by Beer. Cream teas were good at Otterton Mill. This is simply a beautiful place with a very relaxing vibe. Altogether an amazing holiday and many thanks to our hosts Linda & Gary.
The Swiss Family. Thank you very much for these fabulous holidays, here in Devon! It was our first glamping trip, and it was perfect. We enjoyed every single day in beautiful Devon. We will surely spread the word back in Switzerland.
Another wonderful visit to Lower Keats. We enjoyed pizza on Saturday evening and yummy homemade scones too – thank you! Sunday was spent doing the beautiful walk from Budleigh Salterton to Otterton Mill, where we enjoyed fabulous crab sandwiches, and then back again for ice cream on the beach! Hoping to visit River Cottage before we return home on Monday morning. We bought honey from the honesty shop which was delicious. A very food-oriented weekend with rest and fun family times is much needed by us all. Thank you, Linda & Gary.
OMG what can we say, but WOW! From the moment we drove into Lower Keats we knew we were in for an amazing time. We were greeted by the lovely Linda who couldn’t be more welcoming and then we met the ‘say it how it is’ Gary! (That is meant in a nice way). We were then shown to our tent which exceeded all expectations with the ‘just married’ touches that blew us away. Make sure you join Gary for the feeding of the animals and the amazing pizza evening. We cannot thank you both enough and like Arni said ‘we will be back!!’
Roe Family second stay at Lower Keats Farm with two other families. Great time, with the boys enjoying running around outside. Back to Lyme Regis and coastal walk to the Golden Cap. Also went to Beer (a lovely seaside town) and took the girls to Lyme Bay Winery and Dalwood Vineyard (much smaller and by appointment – but big [character! And great recommendation. Had a great time, thank you, Linda & Gary!
Dear Linda & Gary
This has been our second year at Lower Keats and we’ve had another fabulous stay – thank you! Lyme Regis and Charmouth are musts as places to visit when we are in this area. Lyme Regis is great for rock pools (at low tide), fossil hunting, and independent shops (with lots of eating options to suit the whole family!) We love the museum at Charmouth with free entry, the staff are wonderful with children in particular and share their knowledge freely. This year we also went to Beer which we loved. Beautifully clear sea, very family and dog friendly. We would recommend and return! Thank you again for your hospitality.
Thank you for a lovely stay! We have all had an amazing time here at the site, it is absolutely stunning! Perfect place for us to celebrate our friend who’s getting married. All the best.
We lucked out with the weather, so the beaches and walks were superb! The fire was a lifesaver on a couple of very chilly mornings …. Make sure you manage the heat overnight! Great fish and chip shop: Whites in Chard! All in all, a wonderful stay, campfires, singing and lots of laughs. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful stay here in The Cobb – both the children & myself loved feeding the animals on Tuesday evening both myself & mum enjoyed the stunning view, & pizza night with Linda & Gary.
The tent is brilliant down to the smallest details & the shower – oh.my.god. – feels like you are in some sort of Swedish Spa x My eldest absolutely loved the cabin bed & it’s perfect for a little bit of space without feeling ignored or apart from everyone else – very important for a pre-teen.
We visited the town of Beer, Charmouth & Lyme Regis – all gorgeous little tourist hotspots with plenty to find on the beach – we even went for a walk along the Cobb in Lyme Regis to commemorate our tent.
The only slight downside is the noisy sheep neighbours. Otherwise a beautiful getaway & such lovely welcoming owners. We hope to visit again!
Thank you so much for our amazing time on our first glamping venture! We all could not have asked for a better experience, and we loved every moment of it. The tents were detailed to the finest point, feeding and brushing the animals was colossally fun, and the pizza was amazing! Thank you so much for our stay and we hope to see you again soon. It was truly magical, thank you.
We’ had a fabulous few days, despite the windy weather. Enjoyed visiting the local coast, The Hive Café and beach are our favourites. Had everything we needed and more, we very much enjoyed your dinners and games by candlelight. Look forward to coming again in the summer months to enjoy long sunny days.
Enjoyed this very short visit to Lower Keats, never been glamping and it was a great introduction. Loved the showers and the wood burner! Beautiful location and delightful hosts. Many thanks for having us, will definitely recommend. Birthday banner was a very sweet thought, thank you.
Dear Gary, Linda & Team (inc Charlie). Thank you for a truly lovely stay. The glamping tents are fantastic, a home from home. We’ve had such a relaxing long weekend. Everything is so well thought out and all you need, and more is provided. You are great hosts. We enjoyed a day exploring the coastline, all within 15-20 minutes’ drive away, Seaton, Beer, Branscombe are lovely. We enjoyed a meal at The Sea Shanty in Branscombe, which also has a beautiful pub The Masons Arms. Today, we turned left out of here, and drove along the Jurassic coast road stopping off at West Bay, Abbotsbury beach and then a visit to the Subtropical Gardens at Abbotsbury which is a must-see place to visit. Also, Charmouth is lovely and excellent for fossil hunting. You can walk to Lyme on a circular route or climb the Gold Cap which is 191 metres and the highest point on the South Coast. We hope to come back with the family so they can also experience ‘glamping’ at its best, thank you for a wonderful stay.
Got here at last! Amazing place and people. Gary and Linda are fabulous hosts. We loved the animal feeding with our ‘child’ Julie, lovely interaction! The whole site is so lovely, clean and organised. For us 5 NHS keyworkers, we relaxed, laughed so much, lovely views and a peaceful environment. The cabin is outstanding, everything you need. Thanks to Charlie (wheelbarrow boy) for your help. Have a fab time in Kenya. A big thank you.
We’ve had a fabulous week here, thank you Linda & Gary for being such fantastic hosts! This tent was great and spotlessly clean, the location perfect, our children loved seeing all the animals and animal feeding for the guests is a lovely idea, as is pizza night which was a big hit with us all. We would definitely love to come back Leila.! For a local day out with children, we would recommend Axe Valley Wildlife Park. Thanks again for a lovely stay.
Dear Linda, Gary & Family.
Thank you for the most wonderful coastal/country break. You have an idyllic setting and luxurious lodges where you have thought of every detail. You are conveniently situated for fabulous attractions and coastlines while enjoying the peace of the countryside. You both work incredibly hard to make this place as special and personal as it is, and I look forward to returning.
Thanks so much Gary & Linda. What a fantastic place!! We have loved staying in your beautiful part of the country. You have thought of every little detail to make it the perfect stay. Our smalls have loved seeing the animals, playing in the field, and just hanging our in these gorgeous surroundings. The deck with that view is the perfect spot for a G&T! Thank you, we will definitely be back.
What a wonderful break in the fresh air, with friends and lots of fun and chatting around the campfire. Lower Keats has been a real treasure find and we were so lucky. We were blown away with all the extra touches, honesty shop, freezers, hot water showers made it all feel very special. Thank you, Linda & Gary.
Thank you for a lovely time, we loved your pizzas and the waffle house in Axminster too.
Dear Linda & Gary. Thank you so much for creating a wonderful place for family holidays. Our 1st time glamping and what a fabulous time we have had, we hope to book again soon. The pizza night and animal feeding were a brilliant highlight and memories made. Our two, 7-year-old and 4-year-old, loved running around and playing with the other children on the field each night. It is great for parents to be able to give them that freedom and still be able to see them. We would recommend Seaton Jurassic for a fun interactive and informative place for children or Axe Valley Wildlife Park for a day at a small zoo nearby. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such an amazing glamping stay. WE have all enjoyed the glorious time! We loved feeding the animals and having pizza nights. The pizza was amazing, I loved the cabin bed too. We have really enjoyed the glamping experience and can’t think of anywhere better. Thanks again.
It’s so refreshing to arrive at such a fabulous venue exactly as described on booking ?
We love our ‘glamptent’ and would like to take it back to Derbyshire. This is a fabulous location, and you are excellent hosts. I can’t think of anything you’ve forgotten in making our glamping glamorous! I hope you continue to have much success in your venture.
Wow, wow, wow! What a fabulous family experience. Linda and Gary’s hospitality was amazing from the moment we arrived. So welcoming and friendly explaining everything to us. All the little extras for our stay made such a difference, the hot chocolates, teas and coffee, just lovely. We truly cannot wait to return and are already planning our stay. We will definitely be back, with the biggest thank you.
Thank you so much for a fantastic stay at Lower Keats. Our first-time glamping and it won’t be the last! From booking to check-in, showers, local toiletries, solar lights, extra blankets, the honesty shop and more. It all really adds to making your glamping experience a great one. Our children have had a great time, to see them running free, making friends and enjoying life outdoors is priceless. We will most definitely be recommending you to friends and family. Thank you.
We have had lovely stay in Deer Tent! Amazing facilities lots of space for dogs and kids to play beautiful surroundings. Thank you for a wonderful time and this is glamping at it’s very best!
What an outstanding experience we have had!! We wanted for nothing! We have glamped in ‘luxurious’ tents before but none of such high quality and standards. It was spotless when we arrived! Everything from the woodfired oven to the shower were right up our street. All the little extras like shower gel, body cream and hand wash were gratefully received. Our daughter loved the bed cabin, and it was clear that you have really thought about how to maximize space in a fun way. Having constant hot water and high pressure was also a plus for us, in a magnificent shower room. Our daughter loved feeding the animals, especially the calves. The view is to die for!! Joyful to wake up to every morning regardless of the weather. Finally, how many hosts would set up a large screen in the Hive to host the final of the European Cup? Gary and Linda did just that. Although we lost, it was wonderful to be able to watch with all the other guests. See you again.
We have had a great holiday. The tents are great, and the site is beautiful. Gary and Linda are lovely hosts. We all really enjoyed the animal feeding and the chance to meet other families. We visited the Tramway, Lyme Regis beach and Crealy adventure park and had a great time at all of them! The vegetarian lasagne from the honesty shop was delicious. We will be making sure we recommend this place to all of our friends and family. Thank you for a great stay.
Thank you so much for creating a lovely place to enjoy as a family and relax! We enjoyed a couple of local days out; Lyme Regis was lovely, and the kids loved fossil hunting in Charmouth. The lodge itself is well thought out, well equipped and the shower was brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend. Thanks.
We have had such a lovely time at Lower Keats – it has been so relaxing. The showers are wonderful, the log burner on an evening makes the tent cosy and warm. Loved the evenings sat on the deck. Lots to do in the surrounding area. We had a great stay and would definitely come back again.
We had a fun filled 4-night stay. The tent was brilliant, shower amazing and the beds very comfortable. Loved the pizzas and the steaks top class! Linda and Gary, you have been fantastic hosts and thank you for the added touches for Oonagh’s birthday. We hope to see you again in the future. PS: spend a day on Lyme Regis beach enjoy the steak pasties – a must.
Thank you for a wonderful break. The tent was very comfortable with all you could wish for. The area and scenery are amazing and great to see the animals. Thanks again for your hospitality.
Thank you for having us! We have had a fabulous stay here this week. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts – and the children loved feeding the animals! You’ve thought of everything ? Thoroughly recommend the sausages and burgers from the shop, and Baboo ice cream. A genuinely fabulous set up!
We had a wonderful stay in Stag! Despite the weather we’ve had a relaxing and snuggly time ?
We all enjoyed West Bay beach and fossil hunting in Charmouth. Pizza night is a must, thank you. Hope to be back soon.
Thank you for a wonderful 3 night stay at Lower Keats Glamping. We had a wonderful time with our friends and the glorious weather. Pizzas were great fun and the kids enjoyed running around with their friends. Highlights were Burton Bradstock and a walk around Lyme Regis and lots of ice-cream. We hope to come back!
Thank you so much for this wonderful trip, we enjoyed every minute. Too bad that the weather was a flop, but we enjoyed feeding the cows and lambs, pigs and ducks too. We loved the pizzas and you were great hosts.
Perfectly placed for a super stay! Thank you Linda & Gary, you made us feel so welcome and comfortable here. The pizza nights and animal feeding were a highlight! For local days out we would recommend Lyme Regis, Charmouth (fantastic heritage centre) the children loved it, plus a charming bakery and Weymouth. We also had a nice afternoon at Burton Bradstock although it was rather busy there. We have booked to come back and are already looking forward to it! ?
Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. The glamping tent is absolutely stunning, so impressed, you really have thought of everything. We all slept so well. The boys loved feeding the animals. A lovely restful weekend. Best wishes and we hope to be back!
Our extended family – 26 of us – aged from 7 – 78 – thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We did not all fit into Beer so took 5 lodges in all. The weather was brilliant, although the evenings/nights colder. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay and Linda & Gary were excellent hosts. Feeding animals and hens, pizza evening & hot tub all went down very well once we learned the tricks of the trade. The lodge offer everything needed and we appreciated the eco friendly considerations. This part of South Devon & adjoining South Dorset are lovely places to explore. So thanks for a memorable experience.
Dear Linda & Gary
Wow! What an amazing stay (again)! Our second time here and even more impressed with the new additions you’ve made to this wonderful place. The weather was fab. The hot tub – amazing for stargazing all night with kids in bed. Can’t fault anything. We will be back again soon.
We had a lovely stay at the Stag over a long weekend. A lovely place to cut off from all the stress of life and get back to basics. Really enjoy using the log burner to cook for a change. Farm shop was ideal and the steaks were amazing. Our dog Hunter thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. We will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone wanting to Glamp. Thank you.
First time glamping for us and we had a lovely time! The weather unfortunately was not very kind to us but it was cosy and safe in the lodge and we had plenty to do on the rainy/stormy days! Honesty shop was very well stocked and the lodges have been thoughtfully kitted out. So it made for a relaxing and easy stay! Dog and kids enjoyed the green spaces and we all slept very well in our comfy beds. We will be back again – I’m sure! Thanks for your hospitality
If you are reading this it means you have been given Beer Lodge so you are in for a super holiday with your loved ones. Why?
The view is fabulous …
You get the sun almost all day!
If you are up for the hot tub – use it, it’s amazing.
Your hosts Linda & Gary are lovely
You’ve picked a top glamping escape like we did.
Enjoy and be alive x
Thanks for a great stay Linda & Gary! The kids especially enjoyed feeding the animals and the honesty shop was a lifesaver!
Dear Linda & Gary
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Lower Keats. What a memorable way to spend a 25th Birthday! From managing the fire to sitting in candlelight in the evening, it was fabulous! All the little touches made the stay so easy and the shower was amazing! Just what we needed to warm up. We had a lovely day trip to Lyme Regis and a brilliant meal at Lordleaze Hotel – would definitely! I think we’d love to return – hopefully sooner than later, maybe during the summer. Thank you again.
3rd time around, still as enchanting as ever! Thanks for everything guys, we loved being back here.
We’ve had the best time at Lower Keats farm, feeding the cows, lambs, pigs, and chickens. Thank you for giving us the best holiday we could ask for. We are just wondering when we can return!
Thank you for a lovely stay and for making Eleanor’s birthday feel so special. We had a great time and will definitely be back. PS mummy loved brushing the pigs.
We’ve had a fantastic time here in Stag lodge, one of the few places we’ve been where the place is as good as the photos. Linda & Gary have been incredibly warm and welcoming and the whole stay has felt like a real treat. It’s what we hoped glamping would be like, after so many years of camping: all the best bits, none of the hassles, and loads more good bits added in. Many thanks.
Absolutely Brilliant!
We have loved every part of staying here. Linda & Gary: Legends, you’ve created something very special here. Aunty Pat: your marmalade is epic. We will be back, as we’ve loved it so much. Thanks so much.
Dear Linda & Gary
Forget holidays abroad – this was exactly what we needed! This was the first time we’ve tried glamping and we’re hooked. We’ll definitely be back. The pizza was delicious, as were the gelato and the scones (thank you again btw!) We spend several mornings sat on the balcony reading and enjoying the peace and quiet which was a lovely change from how mornings usually are for us at home. Basil has had the absolute time of his life this week – I’m not sure how he’ll adjust to being at home again. We’ll be telling everyone about you when we get home! Thank you.
We had a fantastic time!
The perfect spot for a bit of R ‘n’ R, Aperol Spritz & Dorset Knobs!
Thank you for all the wonderful attention to detail & ordering the weather!
We’ll be back avec vous families (or maybe not! Ha ha).
We had the best time ever!! We really enjoyed waking up to such beautiful views every day. Staying up, dancing around the campfire, and playing games all day. We have had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much, Lower Keats is a very special place. We just wished we had another week.
Had a fantastic time ‘timed it perfectly’ weather-wise. Our second visit and our friends’ first. Just nice to get away from eh noise of the city. Linda & Gary are just the perfect hosts and they needn’t worry about getting a bad review. 5* all the way. The cabins are just lush and have everything you need. Thank you both and I’m sure we will be back again. Thanks again.
What a find!
A truly wonderful break was had by all (ages 14 – 74!) Lovely location, comfy beds, and an amazing shower, (Although the older generation did miss a mirror in the bedroom!)
Linda and Gary are excellent hosts – both made us feel very welcome. Gary does have a great sense of humour, Linda – honestly!!
Hope to be back again soon.
Loved this place again!! Thank you so much!!
Wonderful location, excellent welcoming hosts, allowed us to have fun together as a family. We will be definitely recommending this location to friends. Thank you.
We stayed in Deer for 3 nights and it was amazing. We loved sleeping in the cabin bed, getting ice cream from the shop at the end of the gate. This is our 3rd time staying here, we had lots of fun again.
Thank you so much – we’ve had a brilliant time!
The facilities are amazing and you really have thought of everything!
It’s been wonderful to be able to stay on the site and enjoy watching our children play and to have a much-needed opportunity to catch up with our special friends!
We hope to come back soon!

Thanks for an amazing weekend. Too many great moments to write about so here are our family favourites, a wood burner, pizza night, feeding animals, the beautiful views & great outside space to play football. We made great use of the honesty shop, not only did we enjoy the food, drinks and treats but the games too. Thanks for great special weekend and great hosts. Look forward to coming back.
Dear Gary, Linda & Team,
We have had such a lovely time. Weather has been amazing, but we enjoyed the one rainy day, spending time chilling in the tent and looking out at the misty view. You have thought of everything to ensure the most comfortable stay. It feels as if you have don’t everything to protect the environment, but without compromise to luxury. Douglas the dog was made as welcome as we were. Having the enclosed field made early morning walks so easy. Best burgers we have ever tested! Keep doing what you are doing.
Thank you so much for the most incredible stay. We knew it said to expect ‘luxury glamping’ but it’s not until you get here, that you realise how special you have made this place. You have thought of every last detail, and it has made our time here unforgettable – in the best way! It has been so great to actually sit back and be able to enjoy the view (complete with a glass of wine or G & T!) While the little ones run about, take in the fresh air, and experience this gorgeous place. The animal feeding was such a great hit (think you have a mini apprentice on your hands), the toiletries smell incredible (it really is like a spa!) and we will 100% be back! Fish and chips from Lemon Plaice were lovely (& open Mondays) and Axe Valley Wildlife Park was a great for a local day out. Thanks so much.
2nd time this year, fantastic, thank you. See you next year!
Lovely few days spent at Lower Keats accommodation, facilities and weather were excellent. Lyme Regis, Beer and Budleigh visited, a lovely part of the country. Lovely views from the tent and also nice and quiet at night. Gary and Linda are fantastic hosts who both put in a lot of hard work to make this place what it is. All the best to them for the future and may many more people enjoy this experience. Thanks again.
We have had the most wonderful time here. Thank you for being so welcoming and the pizza night was perfect. A great base to do lots of exploring and never seems to farm from anywhere we wanted to go. The perfect place to relax and unwind with the space to play and lovely views. Thank you so much.
Another FABULOUS holiday! Thank you, Gary and Linda, for being amazing hosts, we will be back again. The cabins are the best and we love the animals on your farm. The weather has been a bonus ? Thank you!
We have loved staying here, it is cosy and warm with a great view. Gary’s pizzas are the best ever! Lyme Regis was the best beach, but very busy and it was a lovely walk around.
It’s been a fabulous stay here, from the beautiful lodges and the cosy beds to the striking views of the Jurassic Coast accompanied by delectable fish and chips. The entire site is relaxing, and the lack of electricity brings a welcome break to what would have been a device filled holiday. The wood burner in particular was very much appreciated by my dad as it can get a little chilly overnight. Local food and games are supplied at the honesty shop. Wide open fields make for a good game of French cricket, and the animals always bring a smile to my face. A wonderful holiday, most likely not our last, and a great family trip. Thank you.
My family and I had an amazing stay. I made loads of friends, there is lots of space to run around and the pizzas were delicious.
We have had a wonderful time. Thank you so much, our granddaughter had a wonderful time playing and just being able to run. The pizza evening was very good indeed and a chance to meet everyone. Linda & Gary were great, and we all enjoyed it. Thank you once again.
What an absolutely brilliant place. Gary and Linda have been the perfect hosts, thinking of everything to make a super comfortable, easy, and fun stay. Definitely try the pizzas and our children loved the animal feeding. A week with friends, the children having freedom and no tv! Making new friends and loving the fresh air. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lower Keats. We’d also recommend Beer beach for a peaceful day -just take good shoes to walk on the pebbles! Plus, The Mill bakery in Lyme Regis. Thank you for a truly brilliant stay.
Dear Gary, Linda & team.
Thank you for another awesome year’s glamping. We’ve had so much fund and are sad to be leaving. Looking forward to seeing you again.
What a wonderful experience!
The views, the tent, the weather, the food (Pizzas and steak!).
We had an amazing time. Thanks for all your efforts in making our holiday such a great experience. We hope to come again and will be recommending it to all back in Surrey. Thanks again, hope the fabulous weather continues.
An amazing 4 days here in Beer lodge. It was absolutely perfect everything we needed for a busy family. Spent most days at the beach in Lyme Regis eating pasties and ice cream. RNLI were having a fun raising week so lots of activities, tombola, painting and to top off our stay, the Red Devils parachuting onto the beach. Rosie, Molly and Emilia loved it!! They also loved animal feeding and we thoroughly enjoyed the goods in the shop, quiche was amazing and at on the balcony with red wine whilst the girls played was heavenly. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.
We had a fantastic stay – hard to leave the site as it’s so relaxing but enjoyed fossiling at Charmouth, a lovely afternoon at Axe Valley Wildlife Park and a trip on the miniature steam railway at Beer. Also enjoyed very tasty sirloin steaks from the honesty shop, cooked on the bbq. The highlight has been seeing the kids running free, making friends, and generally having an absolute ball! Lovely comfortable accommodation and super powerful showers. (The icing on the cake). The kids loved the animal feeding too. Thank you.
Thank you for a truly wonderful stay with you. This attention to detail in the tents and around the site is second to none. This made our stay hugely enjoyable and very relaxing. We will be highly recommending you to all our friends and family. Keep doing what you are doing, it’s fabulous! We’ll be back!
We’ve had the best few days de-stressing and relaxing in the lovely place. You’ve thought of everything to make the stay great. Wonderful location, very comfortable and we are now converts to the glamping experience. We will be back for sure and tell all our friends!
We’ve had a lovely stay; the lodge was so catered for and the shower was amazing. Highlights were Lyme Regis beach, the ammonite payment and of course animal feeding! We look forward to coming back soon.
Sarah’s Hen do! Thank you so much for hosting us! I had a wonderful weekend with some close friends and family ? The lodge is so homely and the shower amazing. Linda and Gary are very attentive hosts, we all want to come back. Thanks again!
We have had the most magical time. The tent is amazing, our 3-year-old twins have loved it, especially the cave beds and running around singing in all the beautiful land. It has been so precious to watch, and we are so pleased we came here for our first UK holiday. We will be sure to come again and make it a regular thing! Everything here is so well thought of, from the pizza nights to animal feeding, we’ve made memories we will cherish forever. Thank you, Linda and Gary, see you again. PS: Beer is lush, Baboo gelato a must!
Thank you for a fab holiday, a great place for a family reunion after over a year of difficult days for us all. The tent is fab, all you could ever need. Location the perfect antidote to troubled times. The girls (Reyn and Willow) had the time of their lives, running free and making friends. Not once did they miss TV. Pizza evenings are fab. We enjoyed a delicious meal at the Tytherleigh, just up the road. Trips to Beer, Seaton, Charmouth and Lyme Regis were great fun. Please keep Lower Keats just as it is you have a gem here! Thanks Gary and Linda.
We have had a wonderful time at Lower Keats even though the weather was varied. The glamping experience was amazing, and the tents are kitted out so well. So peaceful and relaxing and great to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Thank you.
We have had a great time. A totally new experience for us all, weather was kind to us and the Tytherleigh Arms was a good recommendation and the food was absolutely delicious.
We have had an amazing weekend in the sun (although it went in at points) especially loving the beach and pizza night! We will definitely try to return.
Wow, Wow, Wow, we have had the most wonderful 3 nights at Lower Keats. Gary and Linda have put together the most relaxing, luxurious and magical experience. Our two girls have loved the freedom and opportunity to make new friends. The pizza night was a highlight, well done Gary!
Seeing our children smiling from ear to ear when feeding the animals was so wonderful. You often worry about sleeping when glamping, but not here. We had the most lovely sleep, the children don’t want to leave, but I’ve told them that’s good because it means they get to come back. So many memories made. Thank you.
Thank you so much or this wonderful experience. We all loved it here. Well worth the year wait!!

Thank you so much for letting us stay, we had such a lovely time, and we enjoyed our escape from London.
