Our beautiful handmade yurt is set amongst an ancient orchard on an idyllic smallholding, nestled between the Kent Downs AONB and Kent's spectacular coastline. The smallholding itself is a slice of rural Kent with free-range chickens just a stone’s throw away, you’ll soon be making some fairly unique friends. We have such a great location, Canterbury is just 10 minutes drive away and the trendy coastal town of Whitstable can be reached within 20 minutes. Berty the yurty is 5 metres in diameter and comfortably sleeps 2 adults and an infant. Inside Berty you'll find a super comfy double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a cracking little wood burning stove, table and two chairs and a mini-fridge to keep those all important beverages ice cold. We'll make sure there are some essential local food items from the farm (bread, eggs, milk, butter) waiting for you when you arrive. Outside you an outdoor kitchen space to cook, outdoor patio eating area, camp fire, as well as a composting toilet, hot shower and washing up facilities adjacent to Berty, which are exclusively for your use. Berty is tucked away at the far end of the smallholding on the edge of a 20 acre accessible ancient woodland with bluebells flowering in the months of April & May. The small holding is home to free range chickens and other animals. Eggs are complimentary and we're more than happy to arrange for you to collect them yourself if you're in a 'hunter/gatherer' sort of mood as well as a loaf of bread, milk, butter and apple juice. Our rural location is truly fantastic! You'll instantly feel the stresses and strains of everyday life disappear as you soak up the delightful Kent countryside and adjacent ancient woodland. The picturesque Stour valley is just down the road, Canterbury and it's cathedral are only 10 mins away and Kent's extensive coastline can be reached in less than 20 mins. Some delightful pubs and restaurants can be found in Canterbury, and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to top quality country pubs in the local area.Berty the yurty (as our 2yr old son calls it), is 5 metres in diameter and comfortably sleeps 2 adults and an infant. Inside Berty you'll find a super comfy double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a cracking little wood burning stove, a couple of UK made beanbag chairs and a mini-fridge to keep those all important beverages ice cold. We'll make sure there are some essential food items (bread, eggs, milk, butter) waiting for you when you arrive, as well as a couple of chilled beers in the fridge. Outside you have your own fenced off space with a gas bbq, sheltered outdoor eating area and a camp fire, as well as a composting toilet, hot shower and washing up facilities adjacent to Berty, which are exclusively for your use.

Berty the yurty

Berty the Yurty is an amazing set up; the terrace area with the outside kitchen is gorgeous and where I spent most of my time, listening to birds and watching butterflies dance around wild flowers. Seating is well provided for with reclining wooden chairs (i don’t know the proper name for them) and a metal table and chairs which stay remarkably cool in the shade. Hand sanitizer provided around the place and in the composting toilet for use before moving outside and across to the sink for a proper handwashing is just *chefs kiss* I don’t think that there is anything that hasn’t been thought of and provided for an awesome yurting experience here; and if you need anything then George and his team are very responsive via messaging (and I expect by phone and in person for the less shy) to bring more sawdust for the toilet, or eggs and apple juice from the farm that day. If you have the opportunity to go then do! I’m so glad I did!

Berty the yurty

We Stayed in a beautiful yurt nestled near the forest, located on a charming farm. Enjoyed fresh air, peace and quiet, and cozy comforts. Woke up to the scent of nature and started our day with our delicious homemade apple juice and fresh free-range eggs. The warm, welcoming host was happy to share local tips and helped make our stay relaxing and memorable.We would recommend to others 😃👍

Great stay at Berty the Yurty!

Berty the yurty

We had an excellent stay at Berty the Yurty. As we stayed in Dec, even the wood burner was on for our arrival and Roy kindly met us to show us around. The facilities are impressive given the outdoor nature of the experience and it really is a chance to unwind and disconnect for a few days. The fresh eggs, sourdough, milk and apple juice were a lovely touch and Roy was very helpful when we needed the chopped wood topping up! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Loved our stay!

Berty the yurty

This was the most perfect place during our stay in the South of England. Lots of privacy, everything was full equipped and the host was very kind. It was to bad that we only stay here for two nights. You're own (compost) toilet, shower, outside kitchen and a perfect view. By night de lights make it a peaceful place to be! We recommend this place to everybody.

Excellent.

Berty the yurty

A lovely stay in the cosy Yurt. The hosts were very accommodating and a pleasure to speak to. In the height of winter we were toasty inside with the log burner and managed to cook food on it without any problem. Comfortable bed, it has everything you need. Highly recommended.

Berty the yurty

We had the most magical night away on the farm. The yurt is perfect - spacious but cosy, well equipped with thoughtful details. It felt remote despite being at the end of a chicken farm, with amazing views over the forest and great walks from the back of the yurt. We went in November and stayed toasty by the fire. It felt like a real adventure and we are already planning a return trip. Our hosts were flexible, welcoming and responsive. Thank you!

George (the new owner) was a welcoming host and very knowledgeable. Berty is well kitted out and we were so cosy all night. Free range eggs and fresh bread for breakfast. A perfect overnight stay!

Berty the yurty

Beautiful accommodation, as cosy as can be at night thanks to the wood burning stove ( and duvet). Attached to the farm is a wonderful piece of Woodland with rare wild mushrooms and a sense of untouched wilderness. The hosts are very helpful and friendly and you do feel away from it all ( ie you cannot hear traffic noisee on A2, just a contented silence ). I felt it was excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

Cosy fun!

Berty the yurty

We had the best weekend in the yurt. It was super cosy and felt autumnal perfect for our October getaway. It gets super toasty with the stove & the yurt has all the items you need. You can tell it’s really thought out by Jon the owner. No wifi but my signal was good to hotspot from. The area also feels really private, we were undisturbed. Cute towns and pubs are a short drive away alongside a really nice farmers type market area.

Quiet corner

Berty the yurty

We had a wonderful time in this quiet corner, perfect for both of us and also for our dog. The facilities are excellent, the surroundings beautiful. We walked into Canterbury on the North Downs path and then back along the Rover Stour, a long hike for us, but a good option.

We loved our stay at Berty the Yurty! It was cosy, comfortable and cute. Having our own little outside space was perfect, and the facilities were clean and well-stocked. When we arrived we called Jon and he was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again!

Beautifully equipped with free wood, be sure to make sure its dry, and excellent log burner/stove, and lovely view. A table was the only thing missing in this gorgeous yurt.

Set up in a corner of a farm

Berty the yurty

We arrived in a wet and windy weather, the yurt was warm and cosy on our arrival. There was enough logs to take us through 2 night stay. We were aiming at indoor lounging which met all our needs; we probably would utilize the outdoor grill in more welcoming weather. Issues with hot water, mentioned in previous post, were now resolved and we managed hot showers. All questions/ issues were answered/attended within minutes which helped us to focus on enjoying the time away from hussle and bustle of daily life. From what it looked like the place offers beautiful walking paths and we're planning to be back to explore those. Overall, fantastic set up, cosy and clean :) very enjoyable:)
