Can we cook at Hartland?

Outside, yes. Gas cooking facilities are sited directly opposite the tent and shared between Hartland and Kernow, and used by nobody else. There’s no cooking inside the tent; the cook deck at the facilities is there as well if you’d rather use them.

Who else uses the gas?

Only Kernow, the bell tent next door. The gas point sits between the two of you, opposite the decks, and isn’t shared with the rest of the park.

How steep is the walk up to Hartland?

A gentle rise from the valley floor. Hartland and Kernow are the middle option: raised enough for a view over the fields, without the steep climb the upper hillside tents ask for.

Are the showers private?

No. Showers and toilets are in the block down on the valley floor, shared with the rest of the park and open 24 hours, with baby changing in both the male and female toilets.

What’s on the deck?

A picnic bench, a rattan armchair, the chiminea at the edge of the boards, and room to move around them. It’s a wide deck — the sitting-out space is one of the real differences between Hartland and a standard pitch.

Do I need to bring camping kit?

No. The beds are made up with bedding and towels, and there’s a chiminea on the deck. Bring food and you’re set.

Can we bring the dog?

Yes. Dogs are welcome in every stay at Willow Valley. Keep them on a lead no longer than two metres around the park, use the dog exercise area, and please don’t leave them unattended in the tent.

About Hartland

Hartland is the bell tent in the photograph at the top of this page — the one with the wide timber deck, the picnic bench, the rattan armchair and the chiminea at the edge of the boards. It sits partway up the lower hillside with Kernow as its neighbour. Inside: matting underfoot, a double bed and two singles, all made up with bedding before you arrive.

The deck is the reason to book it. There’s room out there for the bench and chairs at the same time, which is more than most canvas gives you, and the ground falls away in front so you get the valley without having to earn it with a proper climb. Getting up here is a gentle rise from the track, not the steep path that leads to the upper tents.

It has gas cooking facilities of its own, sited directly opposite the tent and shared with Kernow next door. There is still no cooking inside the tent, and that never changes with canvas, but you can put a pan on within sight of your own deck rather than walking down to the facilities every mealtime. Showers and toilets are in the block on the valley floor. The bell tents run from April to September.

Where it sits: Partway up the lower hillside with Kernow next door, raised above the valley floor for the view but reached by a gentle rise rather than the steep climb to the upper tents.

Good to know before you book

The gas cooking facilities are outside, directly opposite the tent, and shared between Hartland and Kernow — no other stay uses them. There is no cooking inside the tent itself.
The cook deck at the facilities is still there if you want them, down on the valley floor.
Showers and toilets are in the shared block on the valley floor, not up at the tent. It’s open 24 hours, with baby changing in both the male and female toilets, and a torch is worth packing for the walk back after dark.
It’s a gentle rise from the valley floor to reach Hartland — less of a pull than the upper hillside tents, but it isn’t flat. If you want no incline at all, Fistral and Polzeath are down in the camping field.
Bedding and towels are provided and the beds are made up. Bring your own food.
Four in a bell tent is still plenty spacious: one round canvas room with a double and two singles in it.
The bell tents run from April to September. Outside those months the lodges, the school bus and the Airstream stay open, and camping pitches run in their own seasons.
Dogs are welcome. Please keep them on a lead no longer than two metres, exercise them in the area provided, and don’t leave them unattended. We can’t accept Rottweilers, Dobermans, Bull Mastiffs, Pit Bull Terriers or their crosses.
Arrive from 3pm, leave by 10am.
