Westland is a small working farm, 5 miles from the coast, in North Devon, on the edge of Exmoor National Park. Enjoy a unique opportunity to escape the stress and strains of everyday life. We look forward to helping you relax and refresh during your holiday in the stunning, unspoilt surroundings of the countryside.
Mongolian Yurt:
Walk over the handmade oak bridge to the yurt, which is set privately at the bottom of the farm in our 3 acre field. Enjoy the lovely views of the surrounding North Devon countryside. Children can have fun running around the field and playing the stream.
The yurt is a great place for couples and families to relax and unwind, to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of country life. Enjoy a dip in the hot tub and look out for shooting stars, we are on the edge of the Exmoor dark sky reserve. On a clear night, the view of the stars is amazing!
Lit with candles and lamps and heated by a wood burning stove, the yurt has a double bed, a single and a 4ft futon. All bedding is supplied, you just need to bring towels (a torch and wellies are also a good idea.) Although let for four the yurt can sleep more comfortably. Extras are charged at a small fee per person per night.
During your stay, you will have exclusive access to your own wood fired hot tub and sauna. Sit back and unwind to enjoy the hot tub with a view, a great experience rain or shine.
Finish your evening drying off in the sauna and enjoy a glass of wine. The glass is tinted on the outside for privacy, however you can still enjoy the sight of the livestock grazing in the surrounding fields.
Use the fire pit to cook up your favourite BBQ treats, or sit around the fire to share stories whilst cooking marshmallows.
The Yurt has a private bathroom with a flushing loo and a hot shower. Kitchen bothy with everything you need to cook your meals, including pots, pans, cutlery, crockery and a gas hob. There is also a small Belfast sink for washing up.
Thinking of having a party, reunion or family get together? You can hire the yurt and the whole field and facilities for your party for a very reasonable price.
