Woolfardisworthy, Devon, England
Meadow View is a hand crafted off grid cabin near Woolfardisworthy in North Devon, solar powered with a double bed, log burner, ensuite shower, compost toilet, and a two burner gas hob. USB ports handle phone charging, but there is no mains electricity, and solar capacity is limited in winter. Shared river access for wild swimming is a ten minute walk away. A fire pit and BBQ area provide outdoor cooking space, and an on site shop sells wood and essentials.
At 4.98 across 41 reviews, it is still early but the quality is clearly there. The cabin sits within a Greener Camping Club site, which sets environmental standards above the average campsite. Tap water is not drinkable (bottled water is provided), which is worth knowing. The wild swimming access is the standout feature: river swimming from a countryside base, without needing to drive to the coast. For the price, at £129 per night, this is a genuinely off grid North Devon stay that does not dress up limitations as luxury but gets the essentials right.
We love the wild swimming access. A ten minute walk to shared river swimming from an off grid cabin gives this stay an active, outdoors identity that most glamping sites lack.
Reviewers unanimously praised the beautiful, remote hut for its great views and super comfy bed. Simon was highlighted as friendly and communicative. The honesty shop and on-site fridge were noted as convenient. Highly recommended.
