About Rocombe Valley Retreat
Escape to the picturesque Devon countryside in style. Located in a scenic valley, this small glamping site offers the perfect opportunity to switch off in style, whilst being within a 15 minute drive of beautiful beaches and plenty of attractions. Ideal for couples, the charming shepherd's hut welcomes up to two guests, kitted out with a double bed and bedding. You will also have electric so you don't have to go fully off-grid, along with lighting and candles. For those travelling as a group or family, the three off-grid yurts can accommodate four or five guests. Each comes with a double bed with bedding and additional futon beds, though bedding is required for these. Candle powered lighting is also included for creating that cosy feel at night. If coming with a group of six or fewer, the handbuilt safari tent offers a spacious option. Situated on a decked veranda, the off-grid tent comes with a lounge area with a double fold-out bed, a king size bedroom and a twin room with all bedding supplied. All of the glamping units feature a wood burner with a supply of logs for keeping toasty. For your cooking needs, you will also have a gas stove with pots and pans, along with access to the communal kitchen with individual fridges, a cooker and a pizza oven. Shared loos and showers will also be found near your accommodation. For evenings in the open, everyone has the option of a wood-fired hot tub with their accommodation, the perfect place to unwind. You will also be supplied with outdoor seating for enjoying al fresco dining. Please note, the site is dog free.
The shepherd's hut is open from January to November, while the yurts are available from April to November.

Lovely campsite and lovely host. Couldn't fault the cleanliness and peacefulness. Only downside to the site was the size of the showers. Showers are far too small.

Me and my partner were away for our anniversary weekend. It was such a beautiful private set up, we were met by the lovely Elliot who couldn't have been more helpful to us. We were unlucky with the weather as it rained the whole weekend but it didn't stop us having a lovely time. There are lots of things to do locally, Elliot recommended the lovely pub down the road for dinner which is a 10/15 minute walk from the site. We will definitely be returning!
Great family stay

Had a fabulous stay in the large yurt as a family of 5. We all oved the yurt, the hot tub and the peaceful location. The kitchen facilities were great for a glamping set up and we really enjoyed the pizza oven. Would definitely recommend for a family adventure.
