Warm welcoming unique abode
Beautiful garden setting, with a traditional timber yurt cleverly constructed to seamlessly provide bathroom facilities and hanging space. The gazebo and sitting areas alongside the yurt were gorgeous and added to the sense of privacy. The owner was welcoming. We were here in winter in chilly conditions but the yurt was well equipped with heating and we were perfectly comfortable.

Very compact with unnecessary furniture making ease of movement difficult. Headroom between the yurt and the bathroom is not standard height and there is no warning sign. The yurt is placed at the rear of a residence with no car access, which means you need to navigate a narrow winding pathway carrying your luggage, etc.

Perfect little gateway home
The property is well managed and the photos exactly justify what proper looks like. The garden is managed perfectly, and the property is highly recommended if you want to have a little time off to cool off your mind.

Our first time in a yurt
Loved the property, tucked away off the road in a beautiful rose garden. The roses were in full bloom and magnificent. The yurt itself was a masterpiece in craftsmanship and we loved the rustic feel of it and enjoyed our visit.
Colin’s place is warm and cozy at the back of his beautiful garden. The place is neat and tidy and the area is lovely to walk around with established trees and beautiful homes. Colin went above and beyond to make our stay easy and relaxing.

A gorgeous Yurt with everything we needed
Our hosts were extremely accomodating when a late flight caused us to turn up extremely late. The yurt was clean, warm and had everything we needed. It was comfortable and homely.
We would stay here again happily!

Ok for 1-2 nights
This is is a unique place- a Yert. We enjoyed it but two nights would be max for us. Just one large room with the shower/toilet through a very low door- watch your head! However we enjoyed our stay.
