Buzzard Yurt

Really enjoyed our stay in the Buzzard yurt. Having the wood burning stove made the interior snug at night when it was cold outside. The separate kitchen was fully equipped for our needs and it was great to have that, and our own, separate shower, for our sole use. One can tell that a lot of thought and environmental consideration has gone into this site. Jan, the owner, was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Loved Molly the mouser who would bring us the odd present! Beautiful, peaceful countryside and the dawn chorus was stunning! We are already recommending to friends. Although we didn’t have children with us on this occasion, I think kids would love exploring the range of things to do here. Amazing place!

Kingfisher yurt

We lived staying on Caroline's idyllic property. A comfortably furnished yurt, a well equipped kitchen, and our own private corner under oaks and ash - and a delicious spring fed swimming pond. Also, the business is run with minimal environmental impact and responsible use of resources. Highly recommended 👌

Kingfisher yurt

The yurt and kitchen area were both clean & lovely and had all you needed. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere in the yurt, so peaceful. Caroline was lovely and helpful. Good location close to beaches in the car. Would definitely recommend.

Buzzard Yurt

rural beauty in a wonderful yurt!

We absolutely loved our experience staying at Caroline's beautiful buzzard Yurt, wonderful spacious wood fired hot tub & self-catered space (Which included a lovely kitted out kitchen, beautiful living room space and shower and private wild swimming lake)- all within a minute/ 2-minute walk from our yurt. Honestly was a huge breath of fresh air for such value!! The wood fired hot tub was beautiful. The yurt was gorgeous and well kept. The homely decor and details were wonderful. Caroline went above and beyond as a host! We will definitely be back, and I have already recommended it as a must go trip to 2 groups of people that love rural trips in the countryside.
