Super excited about our new website and logos

This is our third season at Blackdown Yurts and we decided it was time for a website refresh. In looking at our visitor books it was clear to us that what you, our customers, like most about the yurts is sitting outside of an evening watching the swallows swoop, hearing the owls call across the valley, seeing the moon rise and the stars come out and generally getting away from it all and back in touch with nature without the interruption of the modern world. ​We've included natural motifs in our branding along with a flavour of the yurts themselves. We hope you like it.

We are proud to provide an enhanced experience this year - with new shower-rooms and a remodelled car park surrounded by banks of wildflowers.

​We continue to cater for families of all ages, couples, groups of friends, and parties. If you book all four yurts we can discuss pitching extra tents or renting a local shepherd's hut for extra accommodation. ​

​I've realised that living in the countryside we are much more in tune with (and affected by) the seasons than in urban areas. We had a really tough winter and March was especially tricky - trying to prepare for the season opening at Easter alongside snow, gales and driving rain was challenging. The weather hampered the bathrooms being finished and the yurts being put up, but we got there in the end and April passed by in a flash giving way to a (mostly) warm and sunny May with birds and flowers catching up on lost time. 

June is generally quieter at the yurts and in Devon generally. It's a perfect time for those without children to get away while school is still in, or for those with pre-schoolers or home-educating families to enjoy the yurts at a beautiful time of year. Enjoy 15% off bookings in June using code SPRING15. July and August are starting to fill up so if you'd like to visit during the school holidays do book now.
  

​We will soon provide spotter's guides to help our younger guests identify the wildlife they see in our hidden valley and Katie will continue to offer bat walks or to borrow a bat detector. If you are super lucky you may see fox cubs playing on the local footpaths or see our resident tawny owls peeking out or maybe taking their first flights from the nesting box.

A big thank you to Helen of the Creative Business Network and Angie of Artwork by Angie for creating our new graphics and website.
