Jan and Caroline invite you to stay with them at Holyford, a family run smallholding in the beautiful Devon countryside. They have one yurt which sleeps five, but extra tent space can be made available for older children. If you want a bit of time to relax, why not let the children make pizza with Jan and Caroline using the earth oven-which is also yours to cook in for the duration of your stay! Jan and Caroline offer a range of activities for the whole family so if you don't fancy pizza making why not try honing your bushcraft skills. The facilities have been designed to be as eco-friendly as is possible, with the hot water, for showering and washing up, being either solar heated or wood fired...depending on the weather. Enjoy afternoon tea on the veranda outside your yurt, with homemade scones, jam and local cream...delicious!

You can choose from two traditionally painted yurts, one at 18' (sleeping four) and the other at 22' (sleeping six), both of which are available all year round. Each yurt is located on an elevated position in the woodland giving not only a high degree of freedom but also wonderful views of the surrounding area. They have double beds, as well as single futons & airbeds (depending on the size chosen), and are beautifully decorated. There is no worry of being chilly in the colder months either as the yurts are well insulated and can be warmed to perfection with the wood burning stove...snuggling up in a yurt sounds like a perfect romantic winter retreat. Looking at the testimonials, the stream fed, hot shower is a treat to be remembered! The website has lots of information and beautiful images-definitely worth a look!

A beautifully decorated yurt, fantastic kitchen and bathroom facilities and a picturesque setting...what more do you need? The 16' foot yurt is large enough to accommodate four adults, with a double futon and two fold out seats. You do need to bring your own bedding, with the exception of pillows (and pillowcases), but those little bits and pieces like washing up liquid and T-towels are all provided. You do not even have to worry about getting food in for breakfast on the first day as all the ingredients for a full English await you in the outside kitchen...tea and coffee included! There is plenty to see and do in Herefordshire but, if you don't want to go off exploring, you can always stay put and enjoy a game on the neighbouring tennis court.

This new wildlife and yurt holiday site gives you the chance to relax with nature, explore the surrounding and take part in various activities, such as building a clay oven!

As the name suggests, this yurt offers you a little bit of luxury-comfy bed with hotel white linen and fluffy towels...even a television! There is only room for two, so it would make for a perfect romantic getaway. Situated in the top field of their little farm, this yurt only has one 'neighbour' (the Shepherds Hut), which is still some distance away. Bathroom facilities are just a short stroll down a solar lit path, and a complete camping kitchen is provided in the yurt. Of course, if the weather allows, why not cook on the BBQ outside! If you are a fan of River Cottage, then its HQ are just a short drive from the yurt...why not book yourselves in for a cookery lesson during your stay?

Okay, so this site doesn't have a yurt but it does have an equally beautiful tent (made by renowned yurt makers, Albion Canvas). The tent is nestled in a woodland, which will be yours for the duration of your stay (no neighbours), and is surrounded by farmland. The tent has two bedrooms, a kitchen and sitting area...not to mention the large wooden deck. Cook indoors with a wood-fired oven or enjoy a barbeque in the sunshine. Although this is indeed camping in comfort, with only the sun and wood to 'power' your stay, you are truly able to enjoy the untarnished surroundings. Why not build a den in the wood..or even cut your own firewood for the evening-one thing is for sure, the stress of everyday live will be left behind with a visit to Matt and Amanda's tent!
