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 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 space
The Safari tent is set in the middle of our beautiful orchard. There are two tents, the larger one has its own bathroom with shower and fully kitted out compact kitchen with a double elevated bed. There is pull out sofa bed underneath the raised double bed .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 log burner to ensure the tent is cosy on colder days. The smaller tent has a small electric heater 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 and a dark sky guide inside the tent to help you identify what you are looking at and you may wish to download a Sky app onto your mobile phone, on a clear night you might even see the milky-way!

The children will love to explore the orchard and we have a specially designed trail to excite and 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. The farm has a Farmhouse Kitchen, selling delicious home-made breakfasts, lunches, snacks and cakes. There is also a farm shop which stocks locally produced foods and craft products, as well as Torre Cider's own cider and apple juice, pressed on site from our apples.
There is a children's playground and a number of very friendly farm animals to feed and pet. We have plenty of local walks you’ll want to take once you see what the countryside has to offer, just ask a member of our team for more information. When you are worn out, but the children are still raring to go, they can clamber onto the stationary tractor in our playground whilst you enjoy a well-earned cuppa or cider on our patio.

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 outside of the safari tent and are never left unattended inside it.

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.

Guest access
Guests have out of hours access to the children's playground and the beautiful orchard.

As a working farm there are some clearly marked areas where moving farm machinery and equipment mean extra care is needed and your access is restricted, and, for your own safety, we ask that you do not enter any of our barns, sheds or outbuildings.

We ask guests not to enter our onsite apiary or any of the animal pens during their stay as even the friendliest animal can become spooked when disturbed.

At Torre Cider we love wildlife of all sizes and to encourage them onto our site we have instigated a no-mow policy in some areas of our orchard, this means that as well as seeing some beautiful wild flowers you may encounter a few stinging nettles along the way.

Other things to note
Please be aware we are a working farm with the apple harvest being picked during the Autumn months of September and October.

As a tourist attraction visitors will be onsite during the day, however, the glamping area of the orchard is not open to the public and this is clearly marked. The firelighters and logs for your first fire are provided, further supplies can be purchased onsite or locally. Charcoal for the BBQ is available to purchase onsite.

As a glamper you will have out of hours access to both the children's playground and orchard so why not have an evening BBQ or picnic with a glass of cider or two amongst the apple trees.
