Pet-friendly summary
The 5th Wheel Trailer is an American-style fifth-wheel caravan parked on Tamar Valley Farm, a working smallholding at Bere Ferrers on the Bere peninsula in west Devon, and it is a quietly brilliant spot for a dog. Families who brought theirs describe being able to take the dog into the farm's field for a proper run, with the Tamar Valley rolling away below, and the stay earns a 4.6/5 paw rating.
This is farm life at close quarters. Sheep, goats, ducks, chickens and peacocks live on site, the hosts are repeatedly praised for showing guests round the animals, and sheep graze right up to the trailer windows. That is a large part of the charm, but it does mean a dog with a strong chase instinct will need managing, and a lead is sensible anywhere outside the field.
The trailer itself is dated in a comfortable, well-kept way. Guests call it clean, warm and surprisingly spacious, with a big lounge and a proper kitchen. The internal bathroom is a tight squeeze, but a private shower room and toilet sit in a building a few steps away, reserved for the trailer's guests. Expect simple pleasures rather than luxury: a barbecue area, big skies and very little noise.
Location-wise you are in the Tamar Valley's protected landscape, with Bere Alston and its branch-line railway station about seven minutes' drive, Calstock just across the river in Cornwall, and Plymouth and Dartmoor both within easy reach for bigger days out with the dog.
Best suited to couples or families with a sociable, farm-tolerant dog who will enjoy animal neighbours and field runs; less ideal for dogs who cannot resist livestock, and for anyone wanting hotel-style polish.
