Waking up to a new day after a night under canvas is usually a refreshing experience, but imagine doing it in the gardens of a stately home while you look over green fields grazed by horses and sheep. As the folks at Walcot Hall Estate in north Lincolnshire have realised, something quite special happens when you combine sleeping under the stars in a luxury yurt with holidays in the grand surrounds of this handsome Georgian house.
This fully-furnished tent is spacious enough to host two adults and two children and is surrounded by quiet parkland, guaranteeing guests lots of privacy and peace. There are plenty of footpaths and trails around for open-air walks, while wildlife havens like the banks of the rivers Trent and Humber are within easy strolling distance.
The yurt is decorated to a high standard throughout and feels exceptionally bright and airy because of skylight panels in the roof. A kettle with tea and coffee making facilities is provided. Guests at Walcot Hall Estate also have access to a lot of outdoor space, including decking and a barbecue area for cooking. In terms of facilities, an ensuite bathroom is on hand, as is a rather lovely hot tub.
Walcot Hall Estate is located on the edge of the tiny village of Alkborough, where an independent tea rooms can be reached in around 10 minutes via a footpath.

Local attractions
The area surrounding the nearby town of Barton-upon-Humber (20 minutes' drive) has several top nature reserves to explore if you're seeking serenity, but you'll also likely appreciate the views over the mighty Humber Bridge and unusual attractions like The Ropewalk, an innovative arts centre housed in a former rope factory that uses this very elongated space to its full advantage.
A day at the beach is also possible, and a number seaside towns are within doable driving distance. Staying in Lincolnshire, Cleethorpes (45 minutes) has a long, sandy beach and pier that prove popular with visitors whatever the time of year, but heading over to the other side of the Humber and exploring the coast around Withernsea (an hour and 10 minutes) is another top option if you don’t mind a slightly longer journey.
For some time in town, you're close to Hull (40 minutes), home to The Deep aquarium, or York (an hour and 10 minutes) and its magnificent medieval minster, Viking heritage and railway museum.
