Why not Escape...

  to a magical place hidden in the heart of beautiful East Devon…        A place close to a spectacular coastline, in the heart of the most wonderful Devon countryside, somewhere you can completely relax and experience camping with a difference!

Here on Hunger Hill we have four authentic Mongolian Nomads Yurts set in a secluded two-acre field on a small holding with sheep, pigs and chickens and a friendly old dog! We are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with panoramic views over the Otter Valley just ten minutes by car from the M5 at Exeter and five minutes from the sea at Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth.

 Rustically, yet with a touch of luxury…

The Yurts are furnished with five comfy beds, (warm duvets and all bedding provided ), a fully equipped kitchen area with calor gas cooker, stools, a low table and beautifully painted Moroccan storage boxes. There are big kilim cushions and sheepskins to relax on around a central wood-burning stove. The Yurts are decorated with intricate light patterns thrown from Moroccan Lanterns…so warm and cosy at night!

Outside each Yurt there are hammocks, great for stargazing! Also a picnic table and open fireplace with a BBQ grill.  

All firewood is provided.

Experience the nomadic life style, living close to nature but with the luxury of hot showers, mains toilets, kitchen sink and a fridge! We have a large and well equipped farmhouse style kitchen in the field that you are welcome to use. In the centre of the field there’s a pavilion style marquee with tables and benches with a fireplace and BBQ just out side.

Right next door we have miles of open common land with woods, streams and stunning views over the sea. It's wonderful walking country!

   Wander down the River Otter to the sleepy village of Otterton for a delicious cream tea at the Mill. Otterton Mill is a centuries old working mill with a fabulous bakery that sells a superb range of organic local produce. It also has a restaurant serving food to die for and offers a take away service to our Yurt visitors. The live music at the Mill on Thursday nights need to be booked in advance!

Ten minutes down the hill from the Yurt field, the village of Newton Poppleford offers old pubs, fish and chip shop, café, restaurant and village shop.

Come and enjoy an environmentally friendly holiday and enhance your experience of the natural world with one of the many environmental arts or bush craft courses we offer.
