Liked The most amazing holiday in such a beautiful location. The bed was comfy, the wood burner made it so cozy in an evening. We felt totally relaxed during our stay and loved popping in to nearby Cockermouth. Would definitely recommend these yurts for a holiday.

This was the most perfect stay…
Yurt
Liked This was the most perfect stay in the lakes we couldn’t have asked for more. The yurt was so well thought out with everything you could need and more. Little personal touches like biscuits and blankets. The toilets and showers were eco friendly and so cute with fairy lights. Shower was good pressure and temp great.

We loved our stay and want to come back!
Yurt
Liked My daughter and I stayed for four nights in August and everything about our stay was exceptional. The yurt was homely, cute, super clean, well equipped with everything we needed for the week (including dishes and cookware, kettle, firewood and starters, matches; plus extras like tealight candles, scissors, foil, broom, lots of blankets, etc). The eco-toilet was clean and easy to get the hang of, and really glad we had our own to use! The private shower was also spotless and worked great. There is a washing up area with two sinks (dish towels, liquid, sponge all provided), and a small freezer for re-freezing ice packs. Absolutely gorgeous scenery. At night we toasted marshmallows over the fire pit, also used it as a grill to cook one night, the rest of time using the hob inside yurt which worked perfectly. The double bed was comfy and clean and we both slept so well all week. Woken up by the cows mooing each morning, which was funny to us, but if you are a light sleeper and fancy a lie-in, maybe bring earplugs. We were lucky with gorgeous sunny weather all week. Location is stunning and just a bit remote, about 20 min drive to Buttermere Lake and Keswick (groceries available, though maybe something closer) & Derwent Water where we loved going to swim each day. Jennifer our host was very responsive and helpful when I was struggling to find the location on our first night (my problem with satnav). We would definitely love to come back to this peaceful spot and have already thought of booking again for next year.

Really lovely stay, my daughter is already asking to come back.
Yurt
Liked Lovely, small site. Private bathroom and shower. Very well equipped Yurt and washing up area, and things really well thought out like providing a cooler box and the ability to re-freeze the blocks. Nice and peaceful with shops nearby in Cockermouth. Bedding was lovely!
Disliked I think my only grumble is that it was virtually impossible to cook anything on the grill (hobs were fine).
And the amount of flies around. Worse for us as my daughter currently has a phobia, but couldn’t find citronella candles in any local shops. Perhaps a warning about the flies would have been helpful.
