Blackdown Yurts sits in a hidden valley near Sidmouth, Devon, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Four yurts are offered, each on its own decking base, with Willow sleeping up to four and the others up to six. The site is deliberately kept small, giving guests space to relax, with children free to roam and make camps, while adults can sit by the fire beneath dark, little-polluted skies. The owners, Katie and Mark, share local knowledge of wildlife, with bat walks and a bat detector available. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Nearby attractions include Coldharbour Woollen Museum, Mansell Raceway and Diggerland, making this a peaceful but well-placed base for exploring Devon.
