    Everything, it had everything, the toilet and shower just outside the yurt,on the decking so you didn’t have to go on grass was a massive plus, the hot tub for 2 was also next to the decking so no grassy feet, another plus, we lit the log burner...

    We've got a warm welcome and a lovely chat, good food for dinner and breakfast (and lots of the ingredients are locally grown or made). We loved the setup in the yurt, got everything we needed, loved the wood-fired hot tub experience too. Comfy...
