This review is from Stacey, July 2021
I just wanted to send you an email to thank you you for a really lovely stay in the Shepherd’s hut. It was very cosy and perfect for a little break away!. Me and Sam both enjoyed it very much and the facility’s were great and spotless too! We even visited the horses one evening. They were beautiful! We hope to visit again soon! Thank you again for a really lovely stay! This review is from Shaun, (May 2021)
Just back from a lovely and peaceful mini break staying in the Shepherds Hut Accommodation was roomier than I had imagined. Excellent facilities which were spotlessly clean! Liz was very friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The welcome breakfast hamper was a real bonus. I would definitely go back to visit! This review is from Ellie (May 2021): Thoroughly loved our two night stay in The Plym Yurt. It was a late wedding virgin experience gift which we finally manage to use. Inside is spacious with bed, table and chairs and a sofa. We brought everything with us but they do provide a cool box and a box with utensils, plates etc. The bed was very warm and comfy, lots of blankets in the box for when it got chilly in the early hours. Inside the yurt there is a box connected to the solar panel outside which charges the light for when it gets dark in the evening. It has usb ports to charge your mobile phone. We were very lucky to have the outside kitchen, toilet and shower to ourselves. There was pans, kettles and stoves to use in the kitchen if needed. We had lovely views, quiet area and birds tweeting. Would definitely recommend staying here again. MORE REVIEWS FROM 2020:This review is from Simon (September 2020): We have just had a four night break at the Devon Yurt site and can't recommend it enough. The facilities are fantastic and there is everything that you need for a superb off-grid holiday. The yurts are very comfortable and when it did turn a little cold we had everything we needed to stay warm and cosy. Though there is no mains electricity or gas we had excellent cooking facilities (gas stoves and BBQ/fire pits), lovely warm showers and excellent lighting (solar powered). Liz is a great host and gave us a great welcome and guided tour of the site, explaining everything we needed to know and more. The local pub (The Tally Ho) is within easy walking distance with great food and beer and a warm welcome from the hosts and Betty the Basset Hound. A lovely location which I would highly recommend. This one is from Lucy (August 2020):
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for a lovely few days away. I am gutted we didn’t get to experience a yurt however the hut was lovely, clean and a welcome alternative as the yurts were all booked up. The facilities were lovely and clean and your knowledge of the area and places to visit was very welcome. My only problem is it was not long enough!! Just as we settled in to the quiet life it was time to head home again. Thank you again and we hope to be back next year" Lovely review from Laura (August 2020):
This place is perfect for an off grid stay but not so off grid you feel in the middle of nowhere. Our yurt was spotless, the facilities on sight were perfect and clean and Liz was an amazing host. Such a lovely lady! Our 3 year old absolutely loved it and he will be talking about it for a long time to come! cannot wait to come back with the rest of our family next year.” Another great review this time from Linda (August 2020): "We just wanted to say what a fabulous, relaxing holiday we have just had with you. I have to admit when I first booked the holiday, I was very sceptical because I love the luxury of a hotel and all what goes with it. But as soon as you opened the door to the Yurt, I was blown away. I have definitely 100% been converted and booking my next stay with you now. The Yurt was so clean as were all the other Facilities. I don't know how you manage to keep it so clean on a daily basis. It's such a credit to you and your family. You all work so hard and go overboard in everyway possible. Nothing is any trouble for you and you are always on hand for any help or advice we needed. Will be telling all our friends and relations about this marvelous peaceful place we found and not to far away. Once again Liz, A Very Big Thank You to you All" I wanted to say how much we've enjoyed our stay and appreciate all the effort and hard work you have put in throughout these uncertain times.
From our arrival to departure you showed us nothing but 100% of your time to which we were so grateful for. On a more personal note. The cleanliness of everything was first class. I am a Director of an independent company who deal with the Safety and Hygiene of all NHS Hospitals throughout the UK. This wasn’t a check but a nice stay and once again thank you Jim and Dawn x Just wanted to thank you for an amazing stay. We loved the yurt and the location is just incredible! Thanks for the heads up about the Tally Ho and the farm shop, both excellent recommendations, we definitely made use of the pub! We’ll definitely be back, hopefully with friends next time 🙂
Thanks again, we’re delighted to have stumbled upon your little gem 💜 Thanks again! Louise 2019 - Another lovely message from yurt guests, August 2019:
Dear Liz, on behalf of myself and Claire, I just wanted to say how much we really enjoyed our stay in the yurt. So peaceful and tranquil and such a beautiful setting. We will certainly be looking to stay again, and thank you for recommending the tally ho, such friendly people and great food. Once again many thanks for such a wonderful stay. Regards and best wished, Les and Claire |

Some things our guests in 2018 said:
"Had a wonderful few days away in the Dart yurt. The yurt was beautiful and was so homely. Liz was incredibly welcoming, she has thought of everything to make our stay home from home. We loved sitting outside at night with the fire burning and toasting marshmallows and in the morning picking blackberries whilst watching the horses.
We’ll be booking our next stay again soon, thank you for giving us a truly relaxing break.

"Just back from a Great couple of days in the Dart yurt the log burner is fantastic for the cool evenings and chilly mornings, a couple of logs warms the yurt in no time and stays warm for ages, Liz the owner was very welcoming and informative, Good base to visit the surrounding area/towns."

Stayed here for one night as a surprise for my 50th birthday. We had the place to ourselves and it was a wonderful, peaceful experience. The owner could not be more helpful. We will be back. Thank you again.

Jennie and Simon stayed September 2018:
Just wanted to say thank you from both of us for a really enjoyable stay in your shepherd's hut.
We loved the hut, and the surroundings. The local pub was great too.
The hamper was supberb and lasted us both days for brekkie - we had fun cooking it camping style too.
Apologies for the delay in getting to you, thank you for your understanding.
We hope to visit again one day, perhaps we will try out a yurt next time!
JO AND IAN STAYED AUGUST 2017:
"Hello Liz,
I just wanted to write and thank you for such a chilled couple of days that we spent at your Yurt camp. We really had a fantastic time and yurt experience and it was lovely to meet you, the hens and the ginger cat (sorry I have forgotten his name!), and we also saw the fledgling buzzard flying around and squawking for more food!
The other guests who were staying were also very lovely and easy going, so it seems that you are attracting a good crowd, who appreciate the outdoors and something a bit different.
If we are ever passing your way then we shall pop in and / or come and stay again"

James and Rachel (May 2016) say:
Hi Liz
Both my husband and I stayed in the dart yurt last weekend and we forgot to leave a thank you in the visitors book so we thought we would email and let you know that we had an amazing time, you were very welcoming and helpful. It was so nice to get away from life and just relax in your amazing surroundings! We will definitely be back with our little one as we did not want to leave in the first place 😊

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:
"Thanks for the welcoming atmosphere at Hemsford and the lovely relaxing break. The yurts were great. We tried a tipi last year, but I didn’t like my head being so close to the ground on the futon mattresses (don’t like bugs!), so it was much nicer to have a real bed, and a real door to get in & out. Wishing you all the best for the next season.
Kind regards, Caroline"
