“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 ...

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!

“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 :)

“We had the most amazing week here, completely private and secluded making it the ideal getaway when you need to unwind and relax.”

We made good use of the facilities, especially the hot tub! It was just perfect and exactly what we were after. We can't wait to go back.
Mrs Price February 2019

“The yurt was fab, really enjoyed our holiday.”

Waking up to the lake view and the wildlife was a setting like no other. Will definitely book again

“There is no better place for unwinding and getting away from it all in beautiful surroundings and watching nature.”

Absolutely fantastic !!!

“Paradise”
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!

Would recommend it’s the only place ever stayed and not met a sole unles we went into town so secluded and very private

“The sheer peace and quiet and being surrounded by nature yet only a 15 minute walk to a really good pub”
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 Gardiner August 2018

“I can see why people put so many good things about this secret place it’s very magical and me and my wife loved every minute of it.”
Mrs Gordon August 2018

“Absolutely brilliant idyllic and peaceful.”

Loved the sauna, hotub, the private lake for hubbys fishing. Had a fantastic holiday there would definately recommend it.
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.
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

“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
Ms Chipchase February 2018

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

Amazing view, peaceful and extremely comfortable, my partner proposed whilst there and it is a very special place for us and our dog. We will definitely be returning here.
Mrs Moxon December 2017

“This is the fourth time we've been to the yurts and each time although a little different they have been the best holidays ever.”

....we are definately going to return

“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:)

“Just perfect”

Myself and my girlfriend booked Lakeview-Yurt and oh my what a absolute pleasure I highly recommend this Yurt... The hot tub is so nice,, the sauna is a great temperature and we burnt the chimenia all weekend... The Beckford Inn is superb for food.... The projector is a nice touch as is the bath next to the bed.....

“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.

“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

“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.

“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!!

“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.

“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.
