Ash Valley yurt

100% (1)
Yurt · Sleeps 4
Ash Valley yurt is at the top of our site with impressive views down the valley to the south. There’s easy access from where you’ll park, across a field and then up a short gentle slope. Like all our living spaces, it is in its own secluded part of the site, well separated from all the other spaces so you won't be disturbed during your stay. Outside is your private wood-fired outdoor bath so you can enjoy a hot soak in the open air with stunning views!  There's also an outdoor fire and seating area so you can really make the most of the clear night skies. Inside, the yurt has a handmade double bed, a hand-crafted wood burning stove (all wood and kindling provided) and a gas stove. Cutlery, crockery and utensils are all provided for cooking. Outside you have a wood-fired outdoor bath, and your own private hot shower and eco-loo unit fed by fresh spring water from further up the hill *Please note max. capacity is 2 adults but we can also accommodate 2 children free of charge; please make sure you note this in booking notes so we can prepare the yurt accordingly. If you have a larger family, please contact us to discuss options*

The Meadow yurt is in a large open meadow, bursting with a wide selection of wild meadow flowers in the spring and summer.

The large windows allow you to enjoy the feeling of the forest from the comfort of your yurt. Outside, there's a private outdoor wood-fired bath and private eco-loo/shower unit. There's also an outdoor fire / seating / cooking area, with options to cook over the wood fire. Inside, you have a hand-made double bed and two fold-out single futon beds, and simple but beautiful furniture. A two ring gas stove, cutlery, crockery and utensils are all provided for cooking. A beautiful hand-crafted wood burning stove will keep you warm and cosy (firewood and kindling provided) and the yurt is lit by tealights. *Please note max. capacity is 2 adults but we can also accommodate 2 children free of charge; please make sure you note this in booking notes so we can prepare the yurt accordingly.
