Facilities at The Yurt Sanctuary

Your yurt and private facilities are set below the trees in a secluded two acre paddock away from the main house and, as the only guests, it is totally yours to enjoy.
Despite its rustic exterior, the yurt is filled with everything you might require for a comfortable stay and wonderful night’s sleep. Where possible, we like to use organic, natural materials and local or fair trade products. Having said that, we are not asking you to wear cheesecloth robes and sleep on hay! Our double bed has luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding, with goose down duvets and pillows.

The yurt sleeps two adults comfortably and there are two fold-out single futons for kids - just let us know numbers in advance. Obviously, there are limits to the practicalities of sleeping in a yurt with a family (two or four-legged!), so if you would like to pitch up a little tent for the kids to sleep in, you are more than welcome - please bring child and doggy bedding with you.

Just made for magical evenings
