“The yurt was very dirty when we arrived.”

Did not feel covid safe. Very cold and damp in the yurt due to the skylight dripping water/condensation constantly unfortunately this also dripped onto the bed and made it cold and dampfor this reason we chose to drive home on the Thursday evening and did not stay our final night on the yurt.

Thank you for your feedback. This is very out of character for this yurt as the feedback is always excellent. The owners are on hand to help you if needed during the holiday. The property is cleaned using the cleaning guidelines that we are working with for Covid 19. The owners provide sanitisers. The cottage is fitted with underfloor heating and this can be controlled to adjust the temperature for you. Once again, thank you for your comments - Sykes owner relations

“It’s actually undersold on the website.”

Underfloor heating excellent! Hot tub excellent. The most perfect setting, right on the lake. Total peace and quiet in the most beautiful setting. Comfy bed and every facility you could ask for. Very well done. Will 100% be returning soon!

“We haven’t had a weekend away child free in 12 years and we were looking forward to this weekend immensely!”

It didn’t disappoint at all! Beautifully peaceful surroundings, glorious weather, great food cooked on the BBQ and pure relaxation! Everything was as it should be, the owners were incredibly lovely and accommodating. We spent some time on the lake in the boat surrounded by inquisitive geese and black swans! We made friends with a gorgeous pink footed goose whom we named Pete! He would come right to us and ask for food! Not aggressive at all but very chatty and personable with us. We saw a gorgeous black deer in the nearby field and heard the owls at night! The projector screen and abundance of movies was a lovely touch. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor furniture was well used this weekend. The hot tub although glorious was a little too hot to use with outdoor temps of 31! But when we used it we were incredibly relaxed and enjoyed it immensely. Overall an amazing weekend and just what we needed. We would love to come back again for sure. Thank you Sykes and thank you to the owners for sharing this beautiful setting.

“17th wedding anniversary”

Decided to do something a little different for our anniversary this year. And so glad we did what a great getaway very secluded and private our yurt was clean and tidy. A large comfortable bed large bath tub and a well stocked kitchen. The under floor heating was Brilliant. The hot tub was beautifully hot and after a day out walking we chilled in it. The sauna was a great way to relax aching muscles. Even in December the yurt was in a sheltered area that meant we spent time outside having bbqs feeding swans ducks and geese. The owners we met at the start were very helpful and showed us around and how to work things. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a getaway to relax. Some beautiful walks and places to visit

Mr Smith December 2019

“Wonderful little gem hidden away from noise and society!”

I booked the yurt for a surprise engagement location and it was more than perfect. The owners were very friendly and allowed me a later check in than would be usual due to work, and also allowed me to decorate the yurt with personal touches for the engagement. Hot tub is lovely, in there most of the time and going out in the boat was a nice romantic touch. Only downsides if any would be the guese are very loud in the morning and the natural light comes through the ceiling so not much chance of sleeping in. Overall though highly recommend!

“The yurt is in a wonderful secluded spot it is very comfortable with good facilities,the bed was clean and comfortable,the interior of the yurt could do with a good springclean to spruce it up a little .”

All in all we had a very pleasant and relaxing weekend and would recommend the food at the nearby star inn at Ashton. Michael and Cheryl.

“Perfect”

The pictures do not do this place justice! I have never stayed in a yurt before, but I’m already looking into visiting more yurts! Clean, well presented and all the amenities you would need. Comfortable bed and a very cute touch with a pull down screen and projector with a wide range of dvds to chose from, perfect to watch in the evenings with the door open feeling the fresh air. The hot tub made the evenings perfect for when the outside temperature would drop, to sit in there with a glass of wine and watch the ducks on the lake. The lake itself made our experience. Quiet and calm lake with all different ducks, swans, geese etc. rowing around the lake was not only fun but so romantic. We took a stroll into the village and it is so clean and so quiet, the pub was lovely and welcoming and serves good quality food. I really do recommend this place I would love to return and spend a week instead of a couple days! So much to explore and see. Me and my partner had the best time what a lovely tranquil setting.... thankyou!

Mrs Kennedy April 2019

“We absolutely loved staying at this yurt.”

The outside area was a little tired but that's living outside! It just added to the rustic charm of the place. We had a fantastic week, we spent so much time watching the wildlife and making friends with the ducks and geese (especially Wonky with the dodgy wings who ended up feeding from our hands). I still miss the early wake up call tapping on the yurt door! The sauna and hot tub are perfect for relaxing and we BBQ'd 5 nights out of the 7. So peaceful, so beautiful and we have already booked to come back next year :)

Miss Nicholson November 2018

“My partner and I really loved this holiday.”

It was so peaceful and there was so much to do around. The setting was absolutely incredible and it was very relaxing. The yurt was lovely and warm and cosy. The surrounding towns were beautiful and very dog friendly! It does however look quite tired and it could do with some work doing on it. The hot tub was very old and the bubbles barely worked and the sauna never got that hot. However, these were small things compared to the overall experience, hence the high rating. Overall a lovely experience and I would recommend!

- Miss Nicholson, November 2018
Mrs Smyth October 2018

“The sheer peace and quiet and being surrounded by nature yet only a 15 minute walk to a really good pub”

- Mrs Smyth, October 2018
Mr Wilson September 2018

“We were so impressed with Lake view Yurt that we are going to make another booking for next year on the same lake , but try one of the other Yurts only because we were a little too close to some badger sets and did not want our little Jack Russel to get into trouble.”

All in all it was a fantastic holiday and we cant wait for our next visit.

- Mr Wilson, September 2018

- Mr Gardiner, August 2018
Elliott-hart May 2018

“Location, literally on the lake, and the abundance of wildlife was incredible.”

The complete privacy was an unexpected bonus. The yurt itself was probably hi-spec when it was first put up but is now a bit tired and in need of sprucing up. That said we will definitely stay again as this was one of the most relaxing holidays we’ve ever had.

- Elliott-hart, May 2018

“Fantastic”

Our second visit ididnt thinking could be beaten but I was wrong it was even better the weather helped it was hot all week but the peace and quite it was fantastic fishing was good went out in the boat every day it was what dreams are made of we will be back

- julie e, March 2018
Mrs Gunter March 2018

“Although are stay in the yurt was extremely relaxing, with the views being fantastic, the outside sitting are is in desperate need of tidying up.”

The outside seating was very shabby with some of it being broken. When we arrived we were told that the Sauna was not working, which was a little disappointing as we were really looking forward to using it

- Mrs Gunter, March 2018
Chipchase February 2018

“We have previously stayed in the Lakeside Yurt which was absolutely lovely and now Lakeview.”

Would be great if price could reflect number of days (we stayed 3 nights but paid for a week, might be reasonable for high season, but for the end of October...).

“Fantastic”

There is only one word for this place and that is AMAZING :) booked this for my fiance's birthday we did not know what to expect as we have never stayed in a yurt before, but omg was we blown away!! From the yurt to the surrounding area and the wildlife, it's just the most perfect place for you to relax, unwind and recharge your battery's. My fiance was in his element, fishing and out on the private boat, also the private hot tub and sauna make it that extra special, the underfloor heating made the yurt so warm and cosy and had the most comfortable bed, we enjoyed our 3 night stay here and will definitely be back:)

Dr Moir September 2016

“Brilliant relaxing week in lakeview yurt.”

Extremely secluded, not over-looked except by the ducks and if other yurters were out on their boat!. Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub (hot and clean) and sauna overlooking the lake. Daily al fresco dining - including the chimenea oven, we managed to cook pizza, steak and sausages on it, perfect! And the "egg" BBQ is a beast once it gets going! One word of warning, there are a lot of spiders, so arachnophobes beware! Recommend the local beckford inn for great food - the shortcut through the deserted farm buildings at night was an experience though, bring a torch! The Star Inn at Ashford also good and better value. And recommend visiting local villages of Broadway (nice boutique shops and brilliant deli), the Slaughters (possibly most picturesque village we've ever been to) and Stow on the Wold for decent shops. Will definitely look to return in future.

- Dr Moir, September 2016

Mr Barber May 2016

“We liked the overall feeling of being totally alone and buried in beautiful surroundings.”

It was so peaceful and with daily visitors from our duck families. We had a few days with rain but didn't spoil the experience. Didn't expect the yurt to be so big, then the extra outdoor part just makes it plenty. We used the rowing boat at least once a day to visit all the wonderful hidden pockets around the lake. Lovely people that own the yurts too!

- Mr Barber, May 2016
Miss Rose April 2016

Myself and my girlfriend booked Lakeview-Yurt and oh my what a absolute pleasure I highly recommend this Yurt...

- Miss Rutter, July 2015
Mrs Marples June 2015

“We loved this holiday, it was so secluded, idyllic and away from it all, waking up to the lake and surrounding greenery, in particular the wildlife on the lake.”

We also had use of the owners rowing boat, parked right outside our Yurt and we went for a Yurt that had its own hot tub and sauna. This was better than we imagined and we would do it again. Being able to fish in the lake whenever you want is also a great plus.

- Mrs Marples, June 2015
Mr Neville May 2015

Ms Bell April 2015

The hot tub was just divine to relax in with views of the lake. The local birds were so friendly and the rowing boat was romantic. The home cinema inside the Yurt was such fun too. All in all we couldn't have wanted for more!"

- Ms Bell, April 2015
Miss Alli March 2015

“We had a warm welcome from the owner, the location of Lakeview Yurt was perfect, very warm and cosy.”

The views and peaceful setting was one of the best things, with lots of different wildlife around! The outdoor chiminea was nice of an evening (especially for toasting marshmallows)! The hot tub is always a nice bonus too! Overall was a nice relaxing break away!

Miss Rogers December 2014

“This was the most relaxing holiday we have had in a long time.”

The Yurt was great and the area is beautiful - so peaceful and relaxing. The lake is fabulous as are the geese, ducks and swans. Loved every minute of it.

- Miss Rogers, December 2014
Mrs Thomas December 2014

“It was the position of the Yurt.”

The quietness, lots of different wildlife and the fact you are more or less totally isolated in the most beautiful of surroundings. Hot tub and Sauna for your own private use was an added bonus. We loved it!

- Mrs Thomas, December 2014
Mr Allen November 2014

“Exactly as it was described - a perfect secluded retreat with everything that we could want, all supplied.”

- Mr Allen, November 2014
Mr Litherland November 2014

“Fantastic lakeside location secluded and peaceful.”

Enjoyed a row on the lake followed by relaxing in the hot tub even in the cold of november and then supper sat outside cooked in the chiminea oven with a glass of wine. Couldn't get any better. We loved it.

- Mr Litherland, November 2014
Mr Goodridge November 2014

“The Yurt was fantastic - so relaxing and such a unique experience.”

We used the hot tub everyday and even cooked pizza and baked potatoes on the chiminea!

- Mr Goodridge, November 2014
Mr Ulla October 2014

“We loved staying in the Yurt, the bed was very comfortable.”

The kitchen was lovely and just the right size for two, it was nice to have a dishwasher. There is now an indoor toilet and the bath was huge. The under floor heating soon had the whole Yurt cosy and warm. We spent our evenings in the hot tub and sauna, it was lovely to lay back and look up at the stars. We will be booking again.

- Mr Ulla, October 2014
Mrs Oyem October 2014

“Peaceful and quiet in a secluded location but lots of places to visit easily reached.”

Able to relax and enjoy the hot tub & sauna, and the lakeside. The extra comfy bed made sleeping so easy. No TV or internet made relaxing even easier, listened to lots of music instead.

- Mrs Oyem, October 2014
Mrs Wheatley September 2014

“Peace and quiet; pheasants on the decking and a visiting kingfisher.”

A wonderful setting.Toasting marshmallows in the fire pit and sitting in the hot tub after a days walking. We will definitely go back.

Bugsyburton August 2014

“A hidden gem (literally) and a wonderful 'Mini-moon' retreat”

Myself and my wife of 2 days decided to spend our 'Mini moon' at the yurt and absolutely loved it! Hidden away and perfectly secluded it gave us exactly what we were looking for after a busy couple of months leading up to the wedding. Admittedly from the outside when you arrive (and we arrived in pouring rain) you could be a little put off but once you step through the door you couldn't be in a more welcoming and homely place. Everything inside was clean and modern and the underfloor heating and stove were added bonuses. Even during a fairly miserable week in October we managed to be out in the brilliant hot tub at least twice a day and made use of the pizza oven and electric grill plate on the veranda which overlooked the lake. We even managed to jump in the little rowing boat and enjoy a late afternoon row across with the three resident geese in tow! The position of the yurt makes it perfect to explore the local area and we spent a day at the races in Cheltenham and saw all sorts of other sites. The local pub in Beckford is reasonable but for a really great pub meal jump in the car and head to the Royal Oak in Gretton. Fortunately we discovered this place early on in the week and returned several times. If you can manage to get in to the Lakeview Yurt then you won't be dissappointed. The guy who built the first 2 yurts was in the process of building a third which now appears to be open.

- Bugsyburton, August 2014
HollyInnes August 2014

“Cannot fault, stunning :)”

This is the last night of our 3 night stay. We have been blown away, the yurt and location is perfect. We met the owner who was very friendly, we followed him to the yurt and he showed us around, an indoor toilet has been added 2 weeks ago which is good, there is also a new Japanese BBQ which we used a lot. We cannot fault anything, the bed is most comfortable we have ever slept in and the bath is gorgeous. The local pub The Beckford Inn does amazing food. Sitting out on the decking overlooking the lake with a glass of wine and the chimenea burning has been the most peaceful thing I've ever done. We have adopted lots of duck and swan friends, bring a lot of bread :) There is a visitors book in the yurt filled with amazing reviews so not sure why people haven't also done TripAdvisor reviews. We are sad to go home tomorrow, it's been the most relaxing 3 days of our lives. Enjoy xx

Mrs Jenkins August 2014

“My husband and I had one of the best week's holiday ever at Lakeview Yurt.”

The beautiful setting and peaceful surroundings were a big bonus. We loved the lake and the wildfowl, made lots of new friends with ducks, swans, geese and especially two baby Moorhens! The accommodation was ideal, spacious, classy and had one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in! The owners were lovely and made us very welcome. Can't fault it, and we will certainly book Lakeside Yurt again in the very near future.

“Totally relaxing seclusion from the busy world and escapism into wonderful yurt world!”

This is our third visit to the the owners retreats and each time it is indeed a treat! The lake is just outstandingly beautiful to wake up to each morning and can be enjoyed from the hot tub too! The geese, the ducks and the excellent fishing make this a truly back to nature experience, but perfectly complimented by modern luxury.

- Ms Phipps, May 2014
Miss Wilson April 2014

“Love the Yurt.”

It's a great original idea and alternative to camping. The scenery from the yurt is beautiful and the facilities make it; the hot tub is great. Love the chiminea and watching the stars at night. The wildlife were great to watch and feed. The chicks are very cute and fluffy. It's a great place to chill out relax and watch the world go by.

- Miss Wilson, April 2014
Mr Smith February 2014

“Loved the isolated spot, the privacy, the interior of the Yurt - it looks amazing and is bigger than expected!”

A FlipKey verified reviewer October 2013

“Peaceful and tranquil location”

The yurt is located on the far edge of a lake. No passers by, no other buildings visible. It is so peaceful we were able to completely unwind. The decking outside the yurt overhangs the lake and we were able to sit out in the evening next to the chiminea listening to music, sipping some wine, bliss! The yurt is well equipped, with a very comfortable bed and roll top bath next to the bed! We loved the hot tub and used it every day. Close to Cheltenham, steam railway at Toddington, great retro cinema in Evesham. We would certainly re-book! The owner was very friendly.

“Restful, relaxing and refreshing.”

Away from it all in the most beautiful of settings and yet just 5 minutes walk to the village. The Yurt is lovely,clean, warm well equipped and the view across the lake amazing. The solitude made it the most restful time of my life. Loved the sauna and lazing in the hot tub, just being able to do exactly what I wanted with no-one else around was wonderful. Lots of local facilities when needed but a complete get away from it all heaven.

Del L December 2012

“Stunning!”

A weekend at this wonderful oasis was a surprise from my partner for my 30th birthday and I can honestly say it was nothing short of amazing! This place is a hidden gem, private and in a stunning setting. Located just beside a lake off the beaten track it is the perfect getaway for a romantic weekend. A private hot tub means great nights under the stars (don't forget your champagne) and the candles around the edge are a nice touch. The private sauna looks across the lake and you can dine al fresco in the morning with a heated table to sit at. The owner was very friendly and helpful and obviously cares a great deal about the property and the environment using a compostable toilet which is a lovely feature. There's not much around the area unless you have a car but it is perfect for leisurely drives around The Cotswolds and is 20 minutes to Bourton on the Water which is worth a visit (with afternoon tea highly recommended). The Gardeners Arms in nearby Alderton does a lovely quiet meal and nice local ales. Will definitely have to visit again sometime for romantic relaxation!!

- Del L, December 2012
Mrs Folan December 2012

Miss Reeves October 2012

“Lakeview Yurt is the most peaceful, tranquil amazing place I have ever stayed.”

The owners have taken their time to find the best spot on the edge of a beautiful fishing lake with fantastic views. The Yurt itself is well thought out with everything you need. The best part for us was being in the hot tub on a clear starry night listening to the wildlife, you couldn't ask for anything better. We will be back again!

“Simply brilliant!”

We will be staying again, what a find. Must be the best Yurt in the UK. Superb seclusion and a stunning location. The facilities are spot on, the hosts are lovely and helpful.

“Amazing, relaxing break”

We stayed here for 3 nights, just to have a short break and chill out. And it did not dissapoint. The yurt was perfect, as was the location. The facilities were fabulous especially the hot tub and the sauna. As hard as it was to wake up from the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in, the views we did wake up to were spectacular. We had an amazing time. We will be back and will be recommending it to all of our friends.
