Yurt
Sunshine Yurt is a traditional Mongolian yurt in a totally secluded setting on Dartmoor in Devon. Sunshine Yurt is in a meadow next to a stream, with far-reaching views and all day sunshine (hence the name!). One of only two yurts at Dartmoor Yurt Holidays, you will have total privacy, with your own fully equipped rustic kitchen, shower, compost toilet and firepit. Sunshine Yurt is beautifully furnished with kilims, ethnic throws, Moroccan lanterns and a wood-burning stove to keep you cosy. Sit out under the stars and listen to the owls hooting. A five-minute walk across our fields and you can be on open moorland or walk down to the river for wild swimming. There is no electricity at the yurt so you really will be getting back to nature and enjoying the simple things in life.

A group of us have stayed at either Sunshine or Lake yurt every May for the last few years, using them as a base to go fishing on Dartmoor. The yurts are very comfortable and warm, equipped with wood-burning heaters and lit by lanterns. The...More
We were looking for somewhere we could go to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and this ticked all boxes and more!
We only stayed for three days but it felt like a week.
We had everything we needed and Wendy...More
We spent 2 nights in the Sunshine yurt with our 2 children (10&8). Larry transported the children and luggage in the tractor and trailer, which the kids enjoyed. The Yurt was fantastic with lovely little extras. We were very cosy with the woodburner lit. The...More

Thanks for your lovely review Emma. Looking forward to seeing you and your friends again when you come and stay in Lake Yurt!!
We stayed 6 nights in Sunshine Yurt with our two children. The yurt comfortably slept all four of us and was warm and much more spacious than camping. Our days were adventurous and fun and our evenings peaceful and relaxing.
The kids (and adults) switched...More
Stayed with my 2 boys, we loved every minute right from the start and the tractor ride down to the yurt. The yurt was beautifully maintained, the kitchen perfectly equipped. We only stayed for 2 nights so didn't brave the shower and the compost toilet...More

It's hard to describe the initial beauty and tranquillity of the sunshine yurt and the attentive and friendly service we received from Larry and Wendy. With the beautiful Dartmoor National park a mere stroll away, the location is pure perfection. The yurt is not only...More

We all had an amazing and memorable weekend staying in the yurts. I had booked the yurts for our group thinking they had looked nice and good value, however we were all blown away with how beautiful the yurts were and how magical the setting...More
This was our first stay in a yurt and the experience exceeded our expectations. The yurt was clean and well furnished. It looked lovely at night with all the lanterns lit.The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. We enjoyed building fires to heat...More
We are located on Dartmoor which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are wonderful walks in every direction. You can climb one of the many tors or go wild swimming in the river. Ashburton is the nearest town and it's full of delis, antique shops and cafes. Totnes is a short drive and is famous for its quirky individuality. There are also lots of beautiful beaches to visit.
