Devon’s landscape is unforgettable, ranging from dramatic cliffs to endless shoreline, lush meadows to rolling hills. As early as 6000 BC, this region has been inhabited by nomadic people who roamed the land and lived off its rich resources. Thanks to some enterprising locals who have provided yurts for rent on their properties, you have the chance to experience living close to nature. This list shows 8 incredible yurts for rent, that you can stay in when visiting Devon.
1. Hilltop Yurt (from USD 74)
The Hilltop Yurt looks plain from the outside, but its interior is colorful, warm and cozy. A double bed layered with quilts invites you to snuggle in after a day out hiking. There are also wooden cabinets, tables and armchairs fitted with wool throws to make the place feel like home. On the other side of the circular yurt is a kitchenette, with a supply of drinking water, a burner and utensils. Outside the yurt, there is a charcoal barbecue pit, a shower cubicle and the shared compost toilets. Fairy lights adorning the campsite give it a delightful atmosphere at night. Upon request, your host can also prepare a wood-fired hot tub for an extra fee.

The yurt also comes with a wood burning stove (wood provided), a refrigerator, kettle and toaster to make simple meals. In the morning you will also have complimentary breakfast to look forward to. This comprises homemade bread, croissants, fruit and more. Your host also provides a special treat of mulled wine - savoring a glass of this by the fireplace makes for the perfect way to end a night.

3. Camp Couture (from USD 89)
Camp Couture is a unique Moroccan-style, family-owned yurt. This yurt is just right for two, making it a fun option for a couple looking for a quiet getaway. The toilet is simple but it has a fully-functioning flush, and it comes with essentials like towels, soap and toilet paper. Animal lovers, in particular, will be delighted to meet the resident goats, peacocks and even alpacas. Despite being located in a quiet neck of the wooded area on your host’s property, there is a footpath directing you to a local pub nearby, and a 20-minute car ride brings you to the coastal area of Barnstaple.

While the yurt does not have any electricity supply, lanterns and a wood burner give the yurt a cozy and warm atmosphere. The hot water showers are also powered by wood. Outside there is a rustic kitchen and barbecue area. During your stay, you are also more than welcome to wander around your host’s farm and become acquainted with the resident horses and sheep. From the property a short walk will bring you to the river where, if the weather permits, you’ll be able to jump in for a swim.
