Situated in the picturesque cider orchard the Yurt overlooks the pond area and across the valley, stretching down to the river Wye. 

There is a large decking area, complete with seating. A separate kitchen with basic camping stove for boiling your kettle or cooking up your breakfast. Adjacent to the decking is a fire pit equipped with Kotlich cooking facilities (tripod and cooking pot) to fit and cook over an open fire.

You are welcome to bring a BBQ and charcoal if you do not wish to try cooking on the fire pit. 

There is a fridge nearby to store your groceries in and a lovely sink and washing up area in the Yurt kitchen. There is also a stand pipe for fresh water next to the Yurt. Tea towels and complimenary cleaning items are supplied.

Enjoy showering under the stars with your own private enclosed rustic outdoor shower adjacent to the kicthen, and a compost loo just above the fire pit. Making the Yurt area completely self contained.

There is free wi-fi access around the farm yard but not in the Yurt.

The farm has patchy mobile phone coverage and it varies by network provider. So why not leave your phone in the car and get away from it all!

"This was our first glamping experience and it was absolutely fantastic! We really enjoyed the tranquil environment, cooking on the stove and relaxing by the log burner! It was the perfect place to get engaged. Thank you for a lovely time"

"Such a beautiful location, so peaceful by the pond. We were really happy when three frogs came and joined us by the fire one evening"
