Blackdown Yurts

Its not easy being green…

But we are doing our best to help protect the beautiful, unspoilt setting of our farm, and support our local community.

And to help preserve the simplicity of life in our yurts, we have tried to keep everything else as eco-friendly and back to basics as possible. 

Each yurt has spring water on tap, an enamel basin and jug for washing, and a composting toilet outside. There is no electricity and at night, yurts are lit by solar power, candles or wind up lanterns.

Cooking your dinner over an open fire or charcoal BBQ may be more of a challenge than a conventional oven, but it often tastes better!!

Eco-friendly washing up liquid and toiletries are supplied and there's also a range of bins and composters to help you recycle as much as possible, from glass bottles and cans to raw and cooked food scraps.  

We can help put together a hamper full of locally produced or organic food ready for your arrival. The freezer will also be stocked with home-cooked, frozen meals, which can be paid for on an honesty basis.

Mike and Wendy in the village shop stock most things you might need, and more besides!
