Absolutely magical stay. Check-in was easy and I immediately felt at home - I knew straight away I’d made the right choice picking the yurt.The yurt itself is beautiful, full of character and lovely little details - everything felt good quality, purposeful, positive. Spending the evening by the fire was incredibly relaxing - you can easily lose hours just watching it and admiring the quality and craftsmanship. Dave was also really helpful when I needed more firewood and kindly supplied a smaller top-up free of charge.The hot tub is huge - I’m 6’6” and had plenty of room. Sitting listening to the birds and owls was brilliant. The stargazing area was just as special, with amazing views on a clear night and bats flying overhead. The whole place genuinely felt magical.Perfect for a solo retreat, and I can only imagine how lovely it would be to share with someone.

My partner and I went for our anniversary and we felt right at home immediately, the yurt was extremely cozy and comfortable in a very peaceful and relaxing environment. We went in November but the yurt was lovely and warm and stayed warm. The hot tub was brilliant and a real touch of luxury. Would definitely recommend staying here, whatever season it may be!

We had a fantastic stay, everything was better than expected. The outside space & hot tub were amazing, the Yurt itself is beautiful! We are already planning when we can stay here again!

Perfect stay for our honeymoon at the yurt. It was so peaceful and perfect for having some time alone but also venturing into local Devon and Cornwall towns. Beautiful touches such as the hot tub and star gazing pad. Thank you so much for a memorable, incredible stay.
