This off grid yurt offers its own individual charm and comes with a wood-burning stove, a double bed plus a small sofa bed. There a double ring gas stove, perfect for that morning cuppa! Fairy lights and candles add to the romantic feel of the yurt and hot water bottles and extra logs will ensure you stay cosy.

Enjoy dining inside at the dining table and chairs or dine al fresco whilst enjoying the views of the pool. After a tasty meal why not make use of your own private rowing boat and take a trip around the pool, or simply lie back in it and enjoy a spot of stargazing!

An old hen house has been converted into a WC with a flushing toilet and sink, plus there is a shower block on site for guests use and a small yet fully functioning communal kitchen area. The yurts have a shared area where you can enjoy a game of table tennis or badminton or simply relax around the campfire! Why not bring a BBQ for that true holiday feel!

Please note there is a steep drop from the decking area to the pool so it is not suitable for very small children. Dogs welcome.
