Littlehempston, Totnes, Devon

+ 8 photos

Hemsford Yurt Camp is close to Totnes, in a rural valley near the South Devon coast. You'll be in easy striking distance of Torquay, Paignton and the whole English Riviera from these family friendly Mongolian yurts and a vintage shepherd's hut. Each is fully equipped for a self catering holiday with a difference. It's a short drive from some of the fabulous clean beaches along the South Devon coastline, too.

About the site


This glamping site and camp site for tents is located in a beautiful part of South Devon, only a 3 mile drive from the nearest town of Totnes or a leisurely stroll to one of the fabulous country pubs in the nearest village at Littlehempston. Take in the wonderful clear dark skies and a wealth of flowers and butterflies as you sit and watch in an unspoiled location. You're just 6 miles from Dartmoor, and 5 miles from the town of Torquay. The camp is small and can be hired for exclusive use for family parties and get togethers, or just for a lovely family or couple's break. Each of the yurts can sleep from 2-6 people, and the shepherd's hut can sleep up to four people. The yurts have full sized beds and are comfortably furnished with wood burning stoves. With outside seating areas, fire pits and views over the meadow and lake, this is the place to relax and unwind. Tents can be accepted at £12 per person per night.

The shepherd's hut is available all year round, while yurts are available from Easter to the end of September.

A note from the site themselves...

Having set up our site in 2011 we are very long established and welcome many of our guests back every year. The site is basic but affordable and we have superfast wifi and electricity available for those who prefer not to be off grid. We have lived on our farm for 26 years and have brought up our family here and we love the huge numbers of wildlife we have along with wonderful flora and fauna in the surrounding area. We are situated within walking distance of friendly local pubs with great local produce and local ales, beers and ciders on offer. We are very proud to be family run with all our family involved in the site. We can offer clear night skies with wonderful views of the stars (weather permitting) and quiet peaceful location yet within easy reach of shops, beaches and other facilities and tourist attractions.
