A few years ago I took a yurtmaking course with yurtmaster Tim Hutton in Cornwall and set out to build my own yurt with sustainable resources from our forest. I harvested coppiced hazel on site and built this Kyrgyz yurt. It is set in an old growth forest in the middle of a 12 hectare old estate. The estate is very biodiverse in which you'll find a large pond; orchard; vegetable garden; bat-cave a
nd all sort of animals etc. In short it is an island of PEACE and REST. Guests are required to be very respectful of the surrounding nature and its inhabitants. Conscientious nature-lovers will find the perfect setting to ground oneself; live simply in the tranquility. The yurt has 1 master bed and a pull out bed to sleep two more people. There is a another mattress under the bed for larger families. Inside there is a wood stove; an electric heater and a kitchenette. The up-cycled treehouse serves as a bathroom (w hot water), where one can take a calming bath (shower) with an excellent view on the forest. Under the treehouse there is a hammock and an outside stove to cook and where one can wash the dishes sheltered from the rain. There is another dry compost toilet on site called 'The Throne'. I look forward to welcoming you in this haven of peace and tranquility.
