Em va agradar: Beautiful, peaceful campsite. I stayed in the yurt and I would highly recommend it. Super comfortable and rustic in the nicest possible way. Waking up to the wonderful view is something that I won't forget. Simon was accommodating and friendly. I look forward to coming back with the family at some point.

Em va agradar: This was a really great spot pitched up high on the hill, close to the forest and offering a really lovely view. We were greeted by Simon who was very welcoming and helpful in showing us the facilities. The hut was small and cosy but had mostly everything that we needed but could do with a bin or just remember to bring your own big bags. Also, there was plenty of wood for the fire at night which was great with to have with the surroundings. We enjoyed the process of making a fire and boiling the kettle in order to have a nice warm bucket shower! Just be prepared to have a quick-ish one! I would absolutely recommend this place and would happily return.

Del gerent: Hi Josh

Thanks a lot for coming to stay and for this review. Really glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and congrats on short but sweet bucket showers! I think the bin must have somehow ended up in one of the other units - apologies.

Hope to see you again - you'd be very welcome any time.

Best wishes

Em va agradar: We found the yurt a very relaxing place to stay and a wonderful escape from the routine of city life. The location of the yurt is stunning, with fantastic extensive views. The yurt itself is beautiful, hand crafted and a really unusual way to spend the night - cooking over the campfire and feeling more at one with nature. The beds were very warm and comfortable. The kids loved the freedom to explore and roam safely. The location was ideal too, feeling remote but being just a short drive from Exeter.

Em va agradar: Four of us stayed in the new wooden yurt at Penhill Farm for the weekend. The yurt (like pretty much everything) was beautifully & sustainably made, with a platform looking out towards the Exe perfect for a glass of wine in the evening. We cooked over the fire and sat talking until the small hours. It was absolute peaceful bliss! The bird song in the morning was incredible at this time of year.

This is a really small off-grid site, with a composting loo and a neat bucket shower. Simon had kindly filled the big kettle with water for us so that we could easily heat water for a shower, but honestly a cold one in the morning helped shift a hangover pretty well. A wheelbarrow is available for shifting stuff up to the yurt which was really handy. We felt like everything had been thought of, down to extra blankets, matches, and all the kitchen utensils (including a bottle opener!) we’d need to cook for a couple of nights. The beds in the yurt were also really comfortable.

We all left completely in awe of how Simon & Kate have transformed the site in 5 years, and hoping we can come back soon to see how the new vegetable garden develops!

Del gerent: Hi Jenny,

Thanks so much for this fantastic review! I think you've captured what we're about better than we do ourselves. Really glad you guys had such a good weekend and enjoyed the farm, the campsite and the yurt to full - kudos on the cold shower!

As I said you'd all be very welcome any time - hopefully see you in the not too distant future.

All the best

Simon
