West Kellow Yurts

location

wet wood for cooking heating cleanliness off social area,s

The location of this site is great, quiet and away from busy areas but close enough to drive to tourist areas and beaches.

The whole site is showing its age and could do with some investment; for example a grate missing in the woodburner and the vents being stuck so unusable, a BBQ with no cooking grill, firepits which are more hills than pits. Cleaning also doesn't seem a strong point.
There are 2 bathrooms instead of 2 toilets and 2 showers. This can make things difficult in the mornings and evenings when both showers are in use and you need the toilet!
Communal kitchen is less than basic and we avoided it as much as possible.
First yurt leaked so much that the whole floor was covered in water and the kids bed was soaked. Second yurt was drier but still leaked around the edges.
Website / Pitchup description is very misleading.

Really enjoyable few days, will certainly return.

Nothing.

Quite

Cleanliness and everything was outdated, but with a bit of investment and TLC this could be a great place to holiday

Our family spent three nights at West Kellow yurts and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys being surrounded by lots of space in a stunning location.

We arrived during a thunderstorm and experienced much more wind and rain throughout our stay, however our yurt valiantly stood up to the elements and we remained dry (and more importantly warm thanks to the log burner) inside.

The kitchen, which on first appearance seemed very basic, was actually a really pleasant place to have breakfast and well-stocked with utensils and crockery.

The showers were always hot, self contained and reliable.

My children loved running around the field in the wild Cornish weather, roasting marshmallows over the outdoor fire and playing in the hammock. They didn't seem to notice the lack of wifi, which we considered a positive (although my phone had a good reception if needed).

Matt provided really detailed directions - listen when he says ignore the satnav and head straight to Polperro! - and had obviously put a lot of effort into compiling a useful book of things to do and see locally.

The indoor communal area was a bit too rustic for my liking, but as our yurt was so comfortable we didn't feel we needed to use it.

Great destination. Greeted by Matt, the owner. He also helpfully guided us in over the phone. We really enjoyed the simplicity of the site. Yurts wrere spaced so as to give privacy. They were all screened from one another too. Showering facilities were very basic, but hey, that's what we liked. There is a very basic kitchen set up in a cabin. It also allows you to store fridge and freezer items. If you are squeamish about the state of toilets then take a towel to cover the glass panel door. Also take flip flops for the wet room. My wife, myself and our son really enjoyed our stay here.

We were looking for a large private space that was peaceful, with good views, and a location close to the sea, along with space for our 2 dogs to roam around. Luckily we found all of that here so certainly ticked all our boxes.
The wild life pond is also worth a bit time spent down there, as it is a lovely peaceful spot to relax.
The Yurts are a good size as is the outside space.

Scenic location, very relaxing and 'back to nature', private space around yurts including bamboo fence around, private hammock and chair, private fire pit for cooking. Lovely location, loads around to do if you want to, or just relax and soak up nature. Near to pretty local harbour village (Polperro) well-blessed with 5+ pubs. The owner provided great information in advance. Kestrel Yurt was very nice inside - bit dark but good with tealights on (provided) and the 3 main yurts all have log burners for warmth, with basket of wood provided. Great challenging walks locally including 2-3 hours along the coast to Looe - footpath all the way and incredibly scenic.

Nothing in particular. A private toilet for each yurt would be good, but we knew in advance that there were two communal loo/shower rooms between the three yurts and these were clean and well maintained. The walk uphill from town is a slog but OK if you're fit and prepared to take your time - otherwise the taxis are abundant and only cost £6 or so.

Stayed at west Kellow yurts over the Easter bank holiday
The yurt was lovely with the log burner in and everything was laid out perfectly
The campfire was well used too
The site was beautiful with just the right amount of back to basics
The showers/toilets and kitchen all very clean
Site very peaceful and made the weekend very relaxing but still close enough to get to beaches and get to shops nearby

Also a perfect site for dogs
My springer spaniel loved bouncing through the long grass on site

no real dislikes to add

Could of done with a slightly thicker duvet but that's just nit picking

Location, 20 minute walk to Polperro. Peace and quiet. Loads of space. Firepit and bbq. Wood burner. Lots of nice touches like candles and hot water bottles and tea and coffee. Dog friendly.
