About this property

Glamping in a Mongolian yurt or shepherds hut in rural location in South Devon.

At Hemsford yurt camp then our authentic Mongolian Yurts are ideal for those who enjoy the idea of camping but with some extra home comforts, Our decorative yurts have full sized beds and cosy wood burning stoves our yurts are very comfortable but in a gorgeous rural location in a meadow by the river Hems, within 3 miles of the quirky town of Totnes. For this listing we are offering either our Dart yurt or shepherds hut which can sleep up to 4 persons in a double bed and 2 single beds. The yurt and the shepherds hut both have a lovely wood burning stove inside so you will never need to worry about being chilly. We also provide cutlery and crockery and basic camping equipment for your self catering holiday in the picturesque Devon countryside.

We can offer clear dark skies if the weather is permitting so star gazing in front of the camp fire is essential. There are wonderful views over the fields with plenty of wildlife and birdlife to discover. We are a micro site with just 4 yurts and a shepherds hut. Each yurt and the shepherds hut has an outside firepit and seating area which are a great space to sit and enjoy the quiet countryside around a camp fire.

We can provide some home comforts with free superfast Wifi along with communal hot showers, flushing toilets and cooking facilities in a choice of shared kitchen areas.

All yurts have solar lighting but we have electricity and charging points in one of our kitchen areas aalong with fridges, airfryer, microwave and toaster. The shepherds hut has electricity supply inside the accommodation. All bedding is supplied along with basic camping cutlery and crockery. Our site is a short walk from several local pubs at Littlehempston and Staverton where you can sample the local produce and ales, wines and cider.

If you are booking for 4 persons during the period October - April you will be staying in our shepherds hut.

There is a farm shop nearby at Staverton and the local supermarkets are a short distance away in Totnes. We are also close to the nearest beaches at Broadsands, Paignton and the stunning South Devon coast has many places to visit and enjoy the sea air. We are also only a short drive from Dartmoor which is 265 square miles of granite outcrops and wonderful vistas and is famous for the Dartmoor ponies running wild on the open moorland.
