Located between Dartmoor and the North Cornish Coast, Nemetona offers guests an immersive glamping experience that combines comfort with a semi off-grid lifestyle in Devon’s countryside.
The Mongolian yurt, crafted locally in Devon using regional materials, is part of Carey Valley Glamping in the quiet hamlet of Quoditch.
Named after “she of the sacred grove,” Nemetona was designed to integrate naturally into the surrounding landscape of rolling hills and grazing livestock.
The accommodation provides electric lighting, plug sockets, and heating, while maintaining a close connection to nature. Guests can enjoy a private shower room, fire pit, garden furniture, and a kitchen equipped with a fridge, electric hob, and essential utensils.
The yurt features a double bed that can be split into twins upon request, a leather sofa, and a skylight for stargazing.
A short walk leads to the shower block and peat toilet located in the farmyard, with towels and toiletries included. The site also provides a camper bed suitable for children, making it accessible for small families as well as couples or solo travelers.
The surrounding land extends to the River Carey, offering scenic walking routes and opportunities to wade into the gentle stream. A Celtic-style stone medicine wheel and labyrinth carving on-site provide spaces for reflection and connection with the natural environment.
For guests looking to explore, the location offers convenient access to both Devon and Cornwall attractions.
The beaches of Bude—such as Widemouth, Summerleaze, and Northcott—are within a 35-minute drive, while Dartmoor National Park offers hiking trails and historical landmarks like Brentor Church. Roadford Lake, just a short drive away, provides water sports and family-friendly activities.
For outdoor hospitality operators, Nemetona’s setup illustrates the growing trend of combining sustainability with comfort in the glamping sector.
The emphasis on locally sourced materials, low-impact infrastructure, and guest experience aligns with wider industry movements toward eco-friendly, experiential accommodation that balances profitability with environmental stewardship.
As interest in off-grid and wellness-focused stays continues to rise across the U.K., projects like Nemetona may offer a useful model for park owners and developers seeking to diversify their offerings in the evolving outdoor hospitality market.
