Gurt Yurts

Stunning location! Beautifully set up Yurt with everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable and shower was great.
All necessities were cheerfully provided for by Tim the host along with tea, coffee and a couple of little treats. We were blown away.
Kids loved the hammock and swings.

Superb clean and Warm YURT, brass double bed clean and very warm and comfortable, Superb Hot Shower, Facilities excellent, nice wood burner to heat Yurt could have been a little bigger load wise as had to watch it didn't go out, and a good fire pit outside, plenty of wood available, although I did enjoy foraging for kindling .Lovely site peaceful, and nice views and although no animals sighted we could hear them in the woods, Owls hunting at night, A superb pub about 300 metres down the lane provided lovely food and good Cider, being Somerset. Shall certainly consider going again.

Composting toilet,

Well equipped and friendly service. Met by the owner,Tim, and he transported our luggage to the yurt. Very comfortable beds and fun cooking over an open fire. Everything provided including a bottle of bubbly on arrival. Very secluded area but a short walk to the pub. It is worth a visit. Strongly recommend staying at Gurt Yurt. Thanks Tim for a wonderful stay.

We had an absolutely lovely stay and enjoyed every minute of our time at the yurt.
Tim (the host) was very welcoming, extremely helpful and kind.

The yurt itself was excellent, beautifully furnished, spacious, peaceful beyond belief and had everything we could need for our stay.

The yurt has a SUPER comfy double bed (the best sleep we have both had in ages), and two single beds which our kids (age 3 and 6) loved.

We highly recommend this amazing place to stay!!

The stay at the yurt was very relaxing. It had everything we needed to relax for the weekend. The yurt is very well equipped, super comfy bed, loved the electric blanket! We had a BBQ and everything was there for us to cook. Beautiful views from the Yurt.
The owners were really helpful. We will be back! Highly recommend for a relaxing break.

Nothing at all

We chose to stay at Gurt Yurt as an alternative to a hotel whilst picking up our son for Easter from Bristol University. We are all quite city the trip definitely turned out to be a positive adventure.

You begin your adventure by walking down a scenic forest path to the Yurt which has its own veranda, outside washing up sink, compo-stable toilet, shower and fire pit. The Yurt was really beautiful inside with a double bed and two single beds made up for our older teenagers. It was well equipped with tea towels, cutlery, dishes, cups and glasses pots and pans, kettle, toaster and hob. For warmth (as we stayed in early April), we had a wood-burner, a radiator, hot water bottles, electric blankets and extra blankets.

Everything had been thought of for our comfort. It was a nice touch having some champagne in an ice bucket outside and so too, was the tea and coffee already provided. Tim was a lovely host, who took our luggage down to the Yrut on a small trailer and tractor. You can also order food baskets in advance which was very handy.

More importantly, we all had some fresh air, we got up early and had 2 lovely family breakfasts, we played football outside, roasted marshmallows and sat around the fire pit at night and looked at the stars and had some good heated debates! The highlight for me was walking out on the veranda seeing a deer early in the morning which came quite close to the yrut.

Wrap up warm if the forecast is a bit chilly, but we coped with that with the time that we chose to stay. Everything is sustainable and local - from the handmade soaps to the locally produced apple juice. There is a hammock in the grounds and a tyre to swing on and lots of space for younger members. My daughter also got visited by a view chickens on the veranda whilst she was studying in the Yrut, which I think she quite enjoyed.

There are 2 local pubs up the road, which we did not have time to try because we decided to go and see the beautiful city of Wells. On the whole, we had a really enjoyable trip, it was our first camping experience and we were well looked after by Tim and Sara.

There is a bumpy track up to Tim and Sara's property, but just drive slowly and you will be ok and you will need to switch on your 4G wifi if and when you want to be in contact with the outside world. No TV's good!
