    We had a tranquil break, surrounded by nature and peace. We are looking forward to our next yurt holiday!

  • "The yurt was as described."

    We would have liked to have used the boat which was in the description, but it was dirty and full of water, so were unable to. The bed was super comfy. It got very hot in the yurt and the fan provided didn't make a difference. Spiders and beetles were a daily occurance, but you are staying in a woodland property, so to be expected. A full screen on the door would have been great, and stopped the mosquitos. The hot tub was amazing. The light didn't work for evening dips which was a shame. We googled how to use the hob. The deck area isn't suitable for fishing, as too high to lift fish over safely. The covered area is a great addition in hot or rainy weather. A flushing toilet was an unexpected bonus. Private, clean, functional. Evesham and Tewkesbury close by. The Beckford Inn was lovely and welcoming. The owner was lovely and the maintenance guy dave, very friendly and helpful in sorting the hot tub, mid stay. We didn't want to come home! We would love to return to experience one of the other yurts.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back."

    The bed was super comfy and everything we needed had been thought of and provided. The only small negative for us was the cleanliness. The Yert itself was clean and tidy (a few cobwebs up in the beams) but nothing too disgusting. The outside area though could have done with a wipe over. The seating area needed a good wipe before we could use it, including the table and the bbq equipment looked like it had seen better days. The outside area just needs a bit of TLC. We loved the hot tub although a light near the hot tub would be useful as one evening after the sun had set it was pitch black so was hard too see each other. The view is beautiful, I could sit and stare at the birds all day. Watching the wildlife in and out of the lake was relaxing.

    Amazing week and the weather was good to us. Lots of bbq and hot tubs watching the stars. Loved all the wildlife... herons, swans, kingfishers, ducks, geese etc even saw a snake swimming across the pond. So peaceful and such an idyllic place to recharge your batteries. Everything you need is provided for a lovely stay. Highly recommend this place.

    Warm welcome. Comfortable bed. We did have a wonderful time and the location did outweigh any negatives. However, would have been preferable for tree branches to be cut back that hung over the hot tub. Also the rowing boat was full of water and couldn't be used. Needs a little TLC. Bbq utensils and lounge cushions kept outside so warn by weather and bugs. Only little things for us didn't spoil the stay.

    Everything that could possibly be needed for a mini break. On the recommendation of the hosts we went to The Star pub only 15 minute walk away and I had what can only be described as the most amazing steak pie I’ve even had! Hot tub was fantastic and the Yurt itself was gorgeous, very spacious and with a full kitchen (including a double height fridge freezer!) full oven and separate microwave. Even a dishwasher. Like home from home. Very comfy bed (super king size) and aircon to maintain a nice temperature during the night was great. Definitely a recommendation from me and we will be returning the next time we have the opportunity. 5 stars from us!

    The Yurt is in an idyllic location but the Yurt is tired and scruffy. The hot tub is basically in weeds and long grass and the patio area is uneven and unsafe. The place could be lovely but anyone going needs to be aware your pictures are not how it looks. Its like its never been cleaned in years theres cobwebs everywhere. We were lucky with the weather and fishing on the lake great. I would not have spent that money if I saw what it really looked like.

    The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, stained and old carpet, kitchen worktop really old and dirty. On the positive it was lovely and warm and the bedding was of good quality. We left 2 days early as didn't really enjoy our stay.

  • "Your representatives need to visit and look through the Visitors book."

    For 2 years there have been the same comments about the cleanliness and how facilities could be improved. Stayed in same yurt last year and things definitely deteriated. Had to mend,as best I could, the two loungers outside. 3/4 of the jets in the hot tub didn't work which potentially could harbour deseases. The dome in the yurt could do with a clean so you can experience the night sky properly. The b o at ,for the 2nd year running only had one oar. I could go on. On the plus side beautiful location, secluded ,private with top pubs nearby.

    Many thanks for your feedback. It is a real shame that you did not contact the owner during your stay as they pride themselves on giving their guests a great stay and they are always available to assist with any issues during a guest's stay. The have confirmed that the hot tub and the chemicals are checked regularly during your stay. Property Owner

    You did nothing. You just advertise the property for the owners. You should ask how well did you enjoy your stay. And I would say, I felt like a millionaire, truly loved the location. Fire pit in the woods. Hot tub was excellent. Bed really comfortable. Please change your questionnaire to or add how did you find your hosts. Or something to that. Not annoyed at you, but feel the hosts deserve credit for making such a great location possible for others to enjoy.

  • "We stayed here in 2019 in the secret Yurt and it was amazing and the only issue was the spiders."

    This Yurt has cobwebs everywhere on the ceiling which couldve easily been cleaned. The hot tub had mildrew round the sides and in the daytime could see it was very dirty on the floor. The rowing boat had mismatched ores so we couldn't really use it and was very dirty. I just feel if a bit more cleaning was done it could have been a much nicer experience. The location is lovely and very quiet so with a few changes it couldve been amazing.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding The Lake Side Yurt, feedback is extremely important for both owners and Sykes to maintain property standards. I apologise for your issues you had during your stay and more oars could have been provided if requested. We are always happy to assist guests with any issue that arises. I have taken on board the points raised about the cobwebs and a scoop is provided for the hot tub as twigs and leaves may get caught in it. Property Owner

    Didn’t meet our standards, had to Hoover when we got there due to the carpets being filthy, cobwebs all over the yurt and the surrounding areas. Had to clean the hot tub for over an hour it was filthy! Could be such a beautiful setting but it seems the owners are just happy to collect their money and don’t care about the places anymore. Microwave didn’t work and hob was very temperamental. Hope this place gets some deserved modernising and money pumped into it for the expensive price you already pay!

  • "It was just what I needed."

    A perfect break from everything without losing the mod cons. There was no tv and this was just perfect. We had a pc to watch movies in the evening. It was so lovely to wake up to the lake and geese, ducks and swans in the morning. After a few days the ducks got so used to us they would come onto our decking, have a look around then go back in the pond. Be careful not to leave the yurt door open when out of site as the ducks will go inside! It was so peaceful and nice to wake up in the morning and not see houses, people or cars. There was a limited bus service into Tewkesbury and Evesham. Both lovely towns. Like going back in time when you come from a city - in a nice way. People are so friendly. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The bed was clean and comfortable. Having a dishwasher was a real luxury. I loved sitting on the decking in the morning and also going in the hot tub in the evening. It was a real escape. Even though the owners house and other yurts were close by the yurt was so secluded it felt like being alone in the countryside. For those on public transport the bus can be flagged down by the side of the road. They do stop running at 5.45 from Tewkesbury. We didn't try to get a taxi back so not sure how much that would cost. The hob worked well. There was a fire in the outdoor seating area and it can be made more sheltered on a rainy day by closing the sliding door. Excellent place to stay. Have looked at other yurt holidays but they don't have the extra home comforts like this one does.

    ) and via email to which I have had no acknowledgement. I find it extremely infuriating when a person books a holiday and they have a valid complaint or constructive feedback and wish to communicate with Sykes and are constantly ignored. I have booked many, many cottages through various agents and can honestly say Sykes customer service is appalling. Please stop using COVID-19 as an excuse for not providing professional customer service. This was the first time I’ve booked through Sykes and it will be the last time. When you wanted a booking you were quick to act and response and service was fantastic up until the holiday ended. That’s where customer service took a back seat and you haven’t had the decency to return my phone calls or reply to even one of my emails. The standards were poor and I wanted to advise you with constructive feedback. I don’t expect anyone will reply, even now - it’s just one that is swept under the carpet. You’ve had your money and just don’t care. Please take me off your mailing list. If you cannot be bothered to reply to your customers, I certainly won’t be using you again. Great customer service is what makes a company stand out so why would I recommend Sykes when you can’t be bothered with your clients. Thank you. F Weekley

  • "Having read all the fulsome praise regarding the Lakeside Yurt, one is always concerned that it surely cannot be as good as the published comments."

    But happily on this occasion, we were not disappointed. We were very fortunate with the easter weather, so days were spent relaxing outside overlooking the lake and enjoying the antics of the resident birdlife. The facilities are more than adequate, but the yurt does get extremely hot during a sunny day, mainly due to the acrylic dome on the top of the yurt allowing the sun to heat the inside. Fortunately, the evenings were cool and by bedtime, the temperature had returned to normal. I expect at the height of summer, a fan might be required at night. As has been mentioned by others, an eye mask is essential to block out the early morning light. The owners were delightful and helpful, and on site if needed, out of sight if not. A very late decision to stay an extra day and miss the traffic was speedily and happily arranged, for which we were very grateful. Highly recommended.

  • "Wonderful views and very relaxing."

    Bed extremely comfortable, we even checked with the owners to see where they bought the mattress from so we could buy the same for home.
