Some holidays are so easy, you start planning the return visit before you’ve even left… 🌿

We’re already welcoming bookings from guests returning to our Safari Lodge Treehouses next year—and we think that says more about the Longlands experience than we ever could.

Days here settle into their own wonderfully relaxed rhythm:

☕ Slow breakfasts and afternoon tea on the veranda
🎲 Board games that become surprisingly competitive
🥂 Sunset drinks overlooking the valley
🔥 Evenings around the wood-burning stove
🏊 Wild swims in our spring-fed lake
🚣 Adventures in the rowboat
🌌 Stargazing beneath Exmoor’s dark skies
🦉 Falling asleep to the sounds of the stream, owls and wildlife around you

Each Safari Lodge Treehouse sleeps up to six guests, with its own elevated veranda overlooking our secluded 18-acre valley in the North Devon National Landscape.

No schedules. No rushing. Just quality time together—and the sort of holiday everyone asks to do again next year.

Our 2027 Safari Lodge Treehouse calendar is now open.

Private estate hire for wedding celebration holidays is becoming increasingly popular at Longlands, and it’s easy to understand why.

Instead of celebrating for just one day, gather your favourite people together for an entire three night weekend in your own private North Devon valley.

At the centre of the estate sits Lakeview Farmhouse, with sweeping views across the private valley towards the sea. Its spacious, interconnected living areas create a natural heart for the weekend, a place for the wedding party to get ready together, raise a glass, share long celebratory meals and let the festivities unfold without ever feeling rushed.

Across the estate, the Farmhouse and five Safari Lodge Treehouses provide accommodation for up to 50 guests, surrounded by 18 acres of private countryside close to the North Devon coast.

Your wedding celebration holiday could include:

✨ Exclusive use of the entire Longlands estate
🏡 Lakeview Farmhouse sleeping up to 20 guests
🌿 Five Safari Lodge Treehouses sleeping up to 30 guests
🏊 Wild swimming and boating on the spring fed lake
🔥 Lakeside firepit and BBQ evenings
🍕 Group pizza nights and ping-pong
🧖 A private Fire & Ice sauna and lake experience
🥂 Sunset hot tub sessions overlooking the valley
🌳 Valley & Woodland walk
⭐ Stargazing beneath Exmoor’s Dark Skies
🏖️ Days exploring the beaches and coastline of North Devon

Private estate hire for a three-night weekend from Friday afternoon until Monday morning is £9,750, including accommodation for up to 50 guests.

That’s just £195 per person for the entire three-night weekend when shared between 50.

Longlands also works beautifully for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, hen and sten weekends, and any occasion deserving more than a single day of celebration. 💚

The best celebrations happen around a long table.

Whether it’s a hen weekend, milestone birthday, micro-wedding reception or simply getting your favourite people together, Lakeview Farmhouse gives your group space to celebrate - inside and out.

This dining space seats 20 and has panoramic views across our North Devon valley and is made for long lunches, candlelit suppers and evenings that don’t need an itinerary.

Prefer not to cook? We can recommend fantastic local private chefs, from relaxed sharing feasts and grazing tables to a fully hosted celebration dinner.

The Farmhouse sleeps up to 20 guests and is £1,750 per night—just £175 per person for a two-night weekend when shared between 20.

Most weddings are built around one day.
Ours are built around a 3-night wedding weekend. 💚

Guests travel from different parts of the country, family and friends finally come together, and couples spend months planning every detail — only for the whole thing to pass in a blur.

Longlands Devon offers something different: more time together.

A whole weekend on your own private 18-acre estate, with accommodation for up to 50 guests included.

Set within the North Devon Coast National Landscape and beneath Exmoor’s dark skies, there is time for lakeside gatherings around the fire, wild swims, rowboat adventures, woodland walks, sunset hot tubs, saunas and stargazing long after the wedding reception has ended.

For couples who want their celebration to feel personal, generous and relaxed, Longlands creates the feeling of a private celebration holiday in a place your guests will always remember.

3-night wedding weekends: £9,750.

More time. More moments. More memories.

🔥 Introducing Fire & Ice at Longlands Devon

Longlands offers far more than simply somewhere to stay.

Begin the morning in a private wood-fired sauna, nestled within the Valley Meadow, before heading to our spring-fed lake for a refreshing cold dip or wild swim.

Fire & Ice is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature through the timeless contrast of fire and water.

Each private session is exclusively yours for up to six guests, making it perfect for families, friends and smaller groups. Larger groups can simply reserve consecutive sessions, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience at their own pace.

And when the day begins to fade, complete the rhythm with a separate sunset hot-tub session overlooking the valley.

Fire & Ice in the morning. Sunset soaking in the evening.

Available exclusively to guests staying at Longlands Devon.

"Which bedroom is the best?”

We’ve been asked this twice today — along with another very understandable question from larger groups:

Will couples have to share bedrooms with other couples?

The answer is that Longlands can be arranged very differently from a typical large holiday house.

Lakeview Farmhouse has six bedrooms and acts as the heart of the stay — the place to eat, celebrate and spend time together.

Our five Safari Lodge Treehouses then provide additional private sleeping spaces around the estate, giving couples, families, colleagues, retreat guests and smaller friendship groups somewhere of their own to retreat to at the end of the evening.

Each Treehouse has a king bedroom, a twin bedroom and a hidden cabin bed — although, in our experience, the double cabin bed is often the one everyone argues over. 😂

Across the Farmhouse and Treehouses, Longlands can accommodate up to:

50 guests
21 separate sleeping spaces
34 beds

So you can bring everyone together without anyone drawing the short straw when it comes to where they sleep.

Perfect for milestone celebrations, family gatherings, company retreats, creative offsites and intimate wedding weekends.

Together when you want to be. Space when you don’t.

An authentic African safari… almost

With this week’s heatwave, our Safari Lodge guests could be forgiven for thinking they’ve travelled considerably further than North Devon.

The sun is blazing, the grass is golden and the evenings are made for sitting outside, stargazing in our Dark Sky Reserve.

Admittedly, our wildlife is slightly less intimidating.

Instead of lions wandering past the lodges, we have deer appearing at the woodland edge. Instead of elephants gathering at the watering hole, we have ducks cruising across the wild-swimming lake.

No passports. No long-haul flight. Just an 18-acre private valley, Safari Lodge Treehouses and what may currently be the hottest corner of Devon.

A proper English safari — with fewer predators and better access to a pub.

Longest day. First swim within the hour.

The summer solstice has arrived at Longlands — and North Devon has apparently decided to go full safari.

Today’s guests had barely unpacked before they were in the wild swimming lake cooling down. Now the light will linger over the valley until late, the decks will stay warm into the evening, and the sunset will do the rest.

This is what our Safari Lodge Treehouses were made for: slow summer days, wild water, dusky skies and evenings that seem to go on forever.

Happy summer solstice from our 18-acre private valley in North Devon. 🌿
