Add your business details- Luxurious yurts on an eco-farm with views of Dartmoor National Park
- Buckland Abbey 25 minutes’ drive and Widemouth Bay 40 minutes
- Hot tubs and barrel sauna on site; food delivery options available
Take a look at this – luxury yurts with spectacular views to Dartmoor National Park, private hot tubs and sessions in a barrel sauna. What’s not to love? Spend your days hiking on Dartmoor and end your evenings around your firepit at Devon Yurt, set on an eco-friendly farm on the Devon and Cornwall border.
The secluded yurts sit in 18 acres of breathtaking countryside with rare-breed sheep, ponies and free-ranging chickens all around. Each unit has its own private garden, with a barbecue, firepit, hammock, hot outdoor bath or shower, and a woodfired hot tub. Should you feel short-changed by all these facilities, you can also book private sessions in the barrel sauna, which has spectacular views over Dartmoor from its glass windows.
Welcome packs await your arrival in the yurts, with homemade elderflower cordial and a stock of tea, coffee and essentials to get you going. For an extra charge, ease into your Devon holiday with a homemade one-pot dish for your evening meal, or order a barbecue box for dining under the stars. Not a morning person? Order a ‘cook-it-yourself breakfast basket’ to kickstart your day, with full English, continental or vegetarian options available. Fruit and vegetable boxes or picnic hampers can also be pre-ordered.
In keeping with the site’s eco-credentials, produce is mainly sourced from local suppliers, with seasonal fruit and vegetables grown on the farm. Feel free to pick herbs from the courtyard garden to flavour your own gastronomic creations.

Local attractions
Days out in Dartmoor National Park (10 minutes’ drive) cover many options. Families can follow gentle walks in National Trust-owned Lydford Gorge (15 minutes), or hike uphill to the neolithic remains at Nine Stones Circle (25 minutes) and the standing stones at Fernworthy (50 minutes). Take self-guided tours of the art deco Castle Drogo (40 minutes) and its landscaped parkland, or have a look around the former home of Sir Francis Drake at Buckland Abbey (25 minutes).
If a day at the beach is requested, surfers can head north to Widemouth Bay (40 minutes) on the North Cornwall coast, while coasteering is popular at Port Isaac (50 minutes) and there’s a brace of family-friendly sandy expanses plus a tidal swimming pool at Bude (45 minutes).
If the weather isn’t behaving, consider visiting the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth (45 minutes), or keep any restless kids of all ages occupied with a session on the indoor climbing walls at The Climbing Hangar.
