Gather your family and two four-pawed pals for a glamping stay surrounded by the peaceful scenery of the Blackdown Hills. Scenic walking routes, nearby market towns and memorable coastal excursions make this rural retreat a wonderful choice for those looking to enjoy Devon’s great outdoors together.
This spacious yurt combines the simplicity of camping with a variety of practical, well-designed facilities. It’s set on a slightly raised deck, with a vibrant circular living and sleeping area. This cosy space centres on a wood burner, with a king-size bed and four singles arranged around it to create an inviting atmosphere after days spent exploring. Just a few steps outside, your camp kitchen provides two gas hobs, a small oven, a cool box and washing-up facilities, and a nearby compost WC is handily positioned for night-time trips to the loo. A shared barn includes your fridge with freezer compartment as well as a private shower room with WC, plus shared cooking facilities, a dining table and comfortable sofas around a wood burner. Spend sunny days or star-lit evenings making the most of your BBQ or fire pit, dining al fresco or playing games on the open grassed areas. You’re also welcome to wander through the nearby meadow maze.
This is fabulous walking country, with the glorious Blackdown Hills National Landscape on your doorstep. If you want to venture further, Haldon Forest Park (25.5 miles) has bike hire, play areas and a Go Ape treetop challenge. Head to the market town of Tiverton (14 miles) for its castle, canal, shops and places to eat; alternatively, the bright lights of the city of Exeter are just 17 miles away. A choice of beaches is reachable within 25 miles. Head to Sidmouth or Exmouth, for example, for fun-filled days on long, golden sands.
