Yurt and family yurt tucked into the hill

In a secluded Devon valley a couple of miles from the coast
Adjacent to three coarse fishing lakes and 10 minutes from Torbay
Within 15 minutes' walk of the nearest pub

What a well named site this is. For Rocombe Valley Retreat near Newton Abbot in Devon is indeed in a valley, and is a peaceful bolthole from bosses and the like: it's highly likely that work wouldn't find you, were you to settle down here for a matter of weeks… The retreat is also splendidly well set in its Devon locale, with glamping units in a field beside a stream and three mighty pretty lakes, all a couple of miles from Devon beaches and a piffling 10-minute drive from Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Torbay. The nearest pub, serving food and ales, is a 15-minute walk away, and four more pubs and restaurants are within a five-minute drive. All Rocombe Valley accommodation comes fully equipped with cooking equipment, cosy double beds with all bedding supplied, and woodburning stoves using wood coppiced from trees on the farm. Flushing toilets and hot showers are within easy reach in the farm amenities blocks. There's parking on site for several cars and coarse fishing is available on the lakes adjacent to the valley.

Liked: The facilities were well thought out and clean. Privacy. Well run and catered to.

Disliked: The hot tub took a long time to heat up, and used alot more kindling/firewood than we anticipated meaning we needed to purchase more.

Definitely going to book again, friendly and brilliant private pitch

Liked: The communal area was great and had everything you need to cook a full meal and feed a family of 5 with plenty of seating areas, the hot tub was fantastic and there was always a supply of logs available (apart from once and it took less than 30 mins for them to be delivered to our yurt)
Couldn’t have been any better, very welcoming and great location.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: The facilities were brilliant- communal kitchen with cooker, fridges, sink etc, as well as 3 blocks of toilets and showers. We stayed in the safari tent which was AMAZING! Lovlry decking and comfy furniture outside- beds were very comfy and linen provided which was a bonus. The hoy tub was INCREDIBLE, we stayed in April so thought it'd be too cold but we were so wrong. Elliot was fab and helped us with anything we needed, super friendly and professionals. Brilliant in terms of distance to Torquay, 5 minutes away! But also a lot of time spent on site, loads of place for kids to run around and play. We booked the entire site as a family with ages ranging from 1-86! Thoroughly enjoyed by all of us- even in the rain!

Disliked: Took us a minute to find out how to start a fire (all accomodation comes with an indoor fire place), so the first night was cold but that's our own fault 😅 make sure you know how to light a fire!
