Yurt Camp Facilities

“This is not the camping I remember from my childhood - its so much better. The location is breathtaking and the yurt is spectacular. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and having goldfinches napping by so closely and not to mention the unbelievable view of the milky way.” Pete and Caroline

Our Bluebell Wood YurtHeating and Cooking

The wood burning stoves in all the yurts are set to one side leaving the middle of the yurts free and the view through the wheel unspoiled by a flue. The stoves warm the yurts up in minutes and have flat tops good for cooking on or you can use the small gas cooker beside it. There are plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans, and crocks and cutlery. Food storage in pine dressers and on shelves hanging from the trellis. There is a chill box in each yurt and facility for keeping ice packs cold. There are also barbecues with each yurt.

There is an outside sink for washing up and there are washing up bowls with Ecover detergents, scourers, dishcloths and handtowels provided in each yurt.

Sleeping

The 16ft has a double bed and room for a cot or toddler. The 18ft has one double bed and one double futon, and the 20ft has one king size bed, one double futon, and one single futon, which serve as sofas during the day and beds at night. Extra blankets are available in each yurt. A travel cot can be suplied for no extra charge.

Linen

Bed linen can be provided for £20 per double or £14 per single, includes duvet, sheet and 2 pillows (per person) or you can bring your own bedding. We use Ocean Breeze, a local linen service who use the latest green technology in their laundry. Bath towels can also be booked for £6pp.

Bathroom and Shower Yurts

The bathroom yurt is a short stroll away from each yurt and is on a pine wooden base with rugs on the floor. The specially designed Coromandel wood burning water heater provides hot water through a spout straight into the roll top bath which stands in the middle of the yurt. It may take a little longer, but lying in the bath with the wood burner crackling away you can look up and see the trees and sky above you and time doesn’t really matter.A baby bath can be supplied for no extra charge.

The bathroom yurt is shared between the three yurts. The solar shower yurt is currently under construction.

 

Toilets: Each yurt has its own compost toilet, housed in a yurtlet or in a newly designed Ig-loo(see left) with a big, beautiful beech wood seat.

"We leave totally charmed by our days here with delicious memories to take away.We all love the loo and think it should be called “the throne”, so beautiful it is. I’ve relished every new part of being here from the lack of mirrors and light switches to washing up in such a beautiful kitchen(what a view) and reading stories until the candles burnt out, we never looked at a clock. Since slowing down, I’ve got that childish feeling of being excited all the time and not knowing why!” Lucy, April 07

Solar power

We have a solar photovoltaic panel for the Oak Wood yurt and another in the 20ft Ash Field Yurt. It provides low level lighting but useful for the darker ends of the season and for preparing food in the evening.

In the reception area there is a freezer( there are separate chill boxes in the yurts), to keep things cool and facilities for recharging phones and other chargers. There is a small barbecue outside each yurt and we can sometimes provide, organic lamb burgers, and sausages , as well as eggs from our hens, salad and veg. when available.
