Peaceful and beautiful area, yurt could do with a few personal touches, a bit of cobwebbing and a few more utensils, but a great place to stay and would definitely go back

Mrs Kilgallon August 2020

“The facilities at the yurt were great - hot tub, BBQ, fire pit and all over looking the lake.”

Loved the projector and sauna too!

Ms Sherman August 2020

“Second visit to different yurt just lovely.”

May not suit everyone, pretty basic very in touch with nature(many varieties of spider) my partner fished but sadly didn’t catch the big carp he was after not for want of trying . Lucky with the weather even had to ask to turn the hot tub down

- Ms Sherman, August 2020
Mr Bradford February 2020

“The solitude of the location, really complements the type of holiday getaway that my wife and I needed to unwind and enjoy our silver anniversary.”

The Yurt was warm and well equipped, and the views over the lake were most welcome in the early morning light. Soaking in the hot tub at the lakeside watching the waterfowl was just sublime. There were however two minor issues that have to be addressed. 1. The bathroom / toilet window requires a frosted panel installing. 2. The shower tray overflows when in use, the water spilled out into the toilet area as the drainage was not adequate enough to cope with the deluge of water from the shower unit.

- Mr Bradford, February 2020
Mr Dagostino November 2019

“The property was as expected.”

It is secluded, the setting is fantastic with a lake. 2 great pubs within walking distance serving fantastic food. Ideal for those who like wildlife, country air, and pergect for romance.

- Mr Dagostino, November 2019
Miss Elmes November 2019

“It was utterly brilliant!”

We loved every second, the setting is beautiful and the yurt itself is gorgeous, just what we wanted! Couldn’t fault a thing! And the ducks/geese/swans were super friendly and sociable!

Mrs Cork October 2019

“Literally an english version on the Maldives.”

So worth booking. Hottub and sauna was beautiful especially when its cold outside makes it so cosy. Looking out to the lake and the electric boat was so nice and feeding the ducks and swans and drinking red wine by the bon fire. So beautiful, so grateful for the owners who created this xx

- Mrs Cork, October 2019
Mr Richards September 2019

“Location is amazing, facilities provided are great.”

It was a lovely relaxing stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only complaints: place is tired and needs a spring clean and some maintenance.

- Mr Richards, September 2019
Mrs Holgate September 2019

“It was all round a really lovely relaxing week in the heart of beautiful English countryside, surrounded by nature.”

Everything about the Yurt was perfect.

Mr Youngs August 2019

“The enjoyment of relaxation and the enjoyment of the wildlife together with a beautiful landscape on the edge of a lake.”

Mr Sleight August 2019

“3rd visit lovely, highly recommended”

- Mr Sleight, August 2019
Mr Goodall June 2019

“This holiday is ideal if you want to stay somewhere different.”

The lakeside position is great. Your only visitors are the ducks. It is so quiet and peaceful and you only see other people if you venture into the village or further afield. The addition of a boat to go out on the lake in is ideal. The area around the Yurt is left unspoilt - overgrown and natural which encourages wild life. Not for you if you are looking for 5 star accommodation and pristine surroundings but we loved every minute and will definitely be going back.

- Mr Goodall, June 2019
Mrs Worthington May 2019

“Absolutely stunning views from morning until night.”

The entertainment on the lake from the geese, swans, herons and ducks was spectacular so no need to use the cinema screen that was available. Such an amazing private haven to unwind, relax and charge your batteries: just what the DR ordered. We relaxed in the sauna and hot tub most evenings just watching the wildlife on the lake.. we ate of the bbq each night and made great use of the fire pit, keeping us warm until the sun went down. Ideal location if you want to venture out. I would recommend a spring clean as there were quite a few cobwebs and spiders and freshen up as it looked a little dated, however that did not put us off as the beauty and tranquility is what we were looking for.

- Mrs Worthington, May 2019
Mrs Paduraru March 2019

“An amazing place!”

Absolutely perfect!

Mrs Danciulescu January 2019

“This place is heaven and you don't know until you get there.”

A moment away from the world, in a peaceful place, where you can enjoy the sauna and the hot tub counting the stars at night...

Mrs Flynn December 2018

“So relaxing and just the perfect getaway that we needed.”

Mrs Kunicka December 2018

“Amazing holiday !”

Very private and quiet -relaxing.Having a boat was a bonus. Sauna and hot tube were great! Yurt was surprisingly very warm and had everything you want .Big cinema screen and planty dvd choice -we had good time watching comedys after having sauna sessions ! We will come back ,thank you .

- Mrs Kunicka, December 2018
Mrs Hill October 2018

“One of the best experiences we ever had.”

The yurt was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. The lake and wildlife was spectacular and the fishing was brilliant. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful and we hated leaving, and hope to return soon.

- Mrs Hill, October 2018
Mr Woronycz September 2018

“This was our third stay - the peace and privacy at this property is unique, even though the place is beginning to look a bit jaded.”

Stay away if you don't like spiders, cobwebs and have expectations of thorough cleanliness. However, there's nowhere like it (at an affordable price anyway), to detox from technology and the daily grind. Watching and feeding the waterfowl is always therapeutic, as is lounging in the hot tub. The rainfall shower may not look much, but gives you a truly refreshing shower. More coffee/tea mugs are needed - we had to keep washing by hand instead of using the dishwasher. There's a home cinema for DVDs, but the sound was a bit low at this time. Not for those who can't live without internet and/or TV , but phone signal is good. A fabulous place for getting away from it all without breaking the bank.

- Mr Woronycz, September 2018
Miss Scott August 2018

“Everything about the holiday was fantastic, peaceful and quiet, nice relaxing holiday.”

- Miss Scott, August 2018
Mrs Monahan August 2018

“We have found a 'hidden gem' here!”

Don't expect five star accommodation, the yurt is very comfortable and very well equipped, it could just do with little spring clean, although this definitely wouldn't stop us from returning again. But do expect the most beautiful and tranquil setting, with privacy needed when you want to get away from it all. Spending time relaxing in the hot tub everyday looking out onto the lake and nature perfect! Cooking in the evenings on the fire pit was so good! My partner and myself caught lots of perch and roach, plus to top it off we also caught three beautiful carp, 15lb, 21lb and 25lb all returned safely to the water. We didn't venture far from the yurt the whole week that we were there, there was really no need once you had your provisions, it was the most beautiful place to spend time together. We loved every minute and will definitely be returning in the near future.

- Mrs Monahan, August 2018
Mr Chilvers-tidey August 2018

“We arrived at the Yurt for a 7 night visit but unfortunately we had to leave 2 nights short.”

Upon arrival we were really happy with the setting absolutely beautiful surroundings however that’s as far as it goes. Upon reading past reviews we had high expectations of a romantic luxury break but we were pretty disappointed to find the yurt very dated, the outside area absolutely covered in cobwebs/dirt. The stargazing skylight was so scratched and dirty you couldn’t see out of it in the daylight. Water in the hot tub very murky as if it had never been cleaned out prior to arrival. I then went to use the bbq however only one side would light. Drinking glasses all chipped pretty much all crockery very dated. Nothing matches!! We were absolutely plagued by flys the entire time we were there. So generally a pretty disappointing time! Wildlife however on another league you could spend hours just watching all different species of birds and the fishing was great! We personally will not be returning in the future.

- Mr Chilvers-tidey, August 2018
Mrs Finney June 2018

“Very disappointed -looking forward to it all year.”

Arrived and the setting was idyllic. All the outside area was very dirty things looked as though they hadn't been wiped down for months. the dirt in the furniture was ground in, this also went for the sofa inside the yurt. the BBQ was too dirty to use this put off any idea of using the the hot tub unsure if this would of been cleaned. To top it off we were visited in daylight by Rats running along the decking and just sitting by the door and window. They seemed to be coming from under the hot tub. With that we were out of there only spent one night under duress most expensive night we have spent anywhere had to book in a pub a few miles up the road.

- Mrs Finney, June 2018
Mrs Nothard June 2018

“We’ve enjoyed every minute of our holiday at Island Yurt, the booking and payment procedure through Sykes was quick and easy so stress free from start to finish, the Yurt was amazing, we didn’t want to come home!”

- Mrs Nothard, June 2018
Mr Dupree May 2018

“Almost like being on your own little island!”

Lots of wildlife - daily visits from geese and goslings, ducks and family of eight ducklings and three black swans. Herons in the tree opposite. Loved the hot tub and watching the comings and goings on the lake. We enjoyed BBQs in sun and rain! Every night we had a DVD on the projector. Very comfy bed. We're already saving for a return visit!

- Mr Dupree, May 2018
Mrs Brown May 2018

“This location is just stunning and offered us a wonderful break from city life.”

The owners were really respectful of our privacy and we felt we could really relax and enjoy our time away. A lovely holiday and great accommodation. I would recommend wholeheartedly.

- Mrs Brown, May 2018
Mrs Humphrey April 2018

“We went for a long weekend away for our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary.”

The Yurt's location is beyond anything we could have hoped for, so peaceful and surrounded by nature. The hot-tub overlooking the lake was lovely. The only thing that let it down is the bathroom, all works perfectly, but could do with a freshen up!

- Mrs Humphrey, April 2018
Mr Bird April 2018

“The holiday was extremely relaxing we thoroughly enjoyed the tranquillity.”

We certainly will use Sykes holidays in the future.

Lindsay N March 2018

“Dream escape - pictures don't do this gem justice!”

Completely isolated with nothing but the sound of birds. The yurt was really warm (temperatures outside were below freezing) and had all the amenities we could have hoped for and more. Everything in the yurt worked well and was good quality - loved all the little touches. It was so amazing to get away from the busyness and be in our own little paradise. Hosts were lovely and have a total respect for privacy - the whole place has clearly be designed for a complete escape. Views only of the private lake and only visitors we encountered were the birds/geese/swans. Hot tub was delightful, at a slight angle so you were looking down into the gorgeous lake and endless views of countryside. Lovely nearby villages and towns although we spent a lot of time at the yurt as it was so cosy. Projector was fab - links to a DVD player. Shower was lovely and the roaring fire was such a great touch. Recommend ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as the ducks can be loud at night and an eye mask if you are sensitive to light as the sky light in the roof doesn't have a blind. Cooking facilities were much better than we expected - we cooked at the yurt each evening. Lots of heating outside if you want to sit out in the evenings and a lovely platform you can climb for a good view. Cannot recommend highly enough - we will definitely be back!

- Lindsay N, March 2018
Mrs Davis January 2018

“3rd visit, but different yurt this time, lovely relaxing week, helpful, friendly owners whom let us look around the other yurts before leaving - helped us with deciding which one to visit next - will definitly be back.”

Mr Irvine December 2017

“This place is superb for getting away from it all and being totally surrounded by nature.”

We did plan on going out for meals etc but the yurt is so nice we stayed in! The hot tub is brilliant as is the sauna - what more does anyone need? Overall, this was one of the best breaks we've had.

- Mr Irvine, December 2017
Mrs Coble October 2017

Mrs Adcock November 2016

- Mr Holmes, March 2016
Ms Thomas March 2016

“What an amazing place; the pictures do not do it justice.”

The glass roof and balcony was a very pleasant surprise. We didn't see another person until we took the boat out and even then it's still very secluded. We are already looking to rebook as it was just pure relaxation.

- Ms Thomas, March 2016
Mrs Lodge November 2015

“Cosy and romantic even though our stay was on the coldest weekend of the year so far, seating area/lounge is perfect to snuggle up on next to the fire while looking over the lake at local wild life.”

Plenty of places to visit outside of Beckford too, we went to Bourton on the water, Broadway tower and Burford which are all superb places. Hoping to definitely return in the future for another visit. Loved it.

“A true hidden gem- the perfect getaway for busy bodies”

Myself and my partner visited this yurt on the basis of wanting to get away from it all and to re-charge our batteries. We were both blown away by the yurt and the surrounding area (the pictures do not do this property justice) and its beauty. The home cinema, sauna, rowing boat and hot tub overlooking the lake made the holiday. I thoroughly recommend visiting the Beckford Inn whilst staying here, the service is exceptional and is located just up the road from the yurt itself (I would advise to book if wanting to eat here on the weekend). During our stay, we visited the likes of Broadway and did a cheeky bit of early Christmas shopping. It is hard not to fall in love with Broadway, it's beauty and it's enchanting selection of little shops and tea rooms. We also visited Sudeley Castle, another must for those wanting to explore and unravel some history. The views here are breathtaking as are the pretty gardens surrounding the castle. We both also really enjoyed feeding the ducks, swans and geese every morning over breakfast (something which us townies aren't quite used to) and spending the chilly evenings in front of the fire. Overall, I would highly recommend the yurt to anybody wanting some time out from reality and who are keen to explore. Thank you for a lovely stay, we had a cracking weekend and one we won't forget.

“This is a really beautiful and unique property - completely peaceful and relaxing.”

Had gorgeous views and lots of wildlife to watch. We loved all the facilities available; the hot tub, sauna, dishwasher, and bathroom were all good. The bed is very large and comfortable. Perfect for a 'getting away from it all' holiday!

“This yert is amazing”

We stayed here on our honeymoon and wow!!!! We didn't want to leave, it was just perfect! All the mod cons mixed with its tranquil privacy was amazing, we will definitely be returning, can not rate this yert highly enough,we loved both the local restaurant the Beckford inn, but also a half hour walk away to ashton was a lovely pub the star, they were both brilliant, this is one perfect holiday home for any romantic break, and will always be our perfect honeymoon retreat :) it was fantastic x

“Totally blissful.”

We went here for our honeymoon, stayed over Christmas. It was blissful, so unique and cosy. Uses all the facilities daily, even hot tubbed in the rain. I would say the yurt made our honeymoon the special week that it was. You must visit.

“Escape”

I took my partner away for her 21st birthday for 3 nights in late January 2015 The Island Yurt really is a perfect escape from everything! The Yurt was amazingly well equipped; everything from the bathroom and kitchen to the sauna and hot tub was clean and working perfectly. The views out of the windows onto the lake were stunning and the local wildlife was very friendly. The setting and surrounding are ideal to unwind and take a break from the stress and rush of every day life. Although there are other Yurts on the site, the way they are positioned means that you cannot see or hear them so you really do feel secluded. The glass dome in the roof meant star gazing could be done from the comfort of the bed with the fire flickering in the background really sums up the overall experience of the Yurt. Considering that the water, gas etc. was included, this really was great vale for money. All of this meant that after a romantic weekend away, we both returned fully relaxed. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic or relaxing getaway.

- chrisl942015, February 2015

We are glad to hear that you had such a good time on your holiday. It sounds as if you had the perfect romantic break - and we love the photos you uploaded! We hope to have you book with us again soon. Sykes owner relations

“Heaven”

Beautiful location, amazing yurt with the added luxuries of hot tub and sauna, which we used daily. Home cinema screen was amazing, watching a DVD in bed under the stars! Set on a quiet fishing lake the perfect escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. And if you want to venture out plenty of beautiful Cotswolds villages around to explore.
