White yurt
Liked: For a first experience of glamping, we were impressed by this yurt - not least because the weather was typical of the British summer! The log burner was a particularly favourite feature, along with a very comfy bed. Cleanliness is obviously a priority - along with lovely little touches like fairy lights and a small vase of fresh flowers. Using the toilet and shower, accessed out of the back door, housed in a sturdy, wooden structure, went from being initially a little disconcerting to very liberating, allowing you to feel connected to nature. Alistair and Gosia were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great time - thank you so much :)
Disliked: Nothing at all.
