Blackdown Yurts are situated between the villages of Kentisbeare and Blackborough, just a short drive from Cullompton and the M5 in Devon. Located within the stunning Blackdown Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this tranquil retreat offers a perfect escape into nature.
We have four beautiful yurts, each thoughtfully positioned on its own decking base and covered with coir matting to ensure warmth and dryness inside. Buzzard and Willow are traditional Mongolian yurts, while Badger and Woodpecker were upgraded in 2020 with wooden-clad sides for added durability. Despite this modern touch, the interiors maintain their authentic charm, featuring hand-painted Mongolian poles and roof struts that preserve the traditional yurt aesthetic.
