"Fantastic stay thankyou just what was needed to distress and relax."
We will visit again for peace and quiet
-
"Very relaxing and welcoming."
We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be back. So many people have asked me for the link to this yurt to book themselves
-
"The holiday was really relaxing this is the 11th year we been going and back ..."
The holiday was really relaxing this is the 11th year we been going and back again in October would really recommend this for couples looking for peace and quiet and reconnecting
-
"We have been hoping to the yurt every year for 11 years now and each time it's as good as the last."
My only concern this time is the weeds at the back of the yurt need keeping down , I photograph the wildlife and its makes it difficult to capture a decent picture. Apart from that perfect relaxing holiday. Sarah as helpful as always .

"Ths is not an attack on the owners."
The location and environment is lovely. The yurt itself is not up to standard. The door lock is rusty/corroded, if you lock it at night expect to climb out the window to get out. The hot tub shows no signs of maintenance, the water seemed over used/murky and the filters need cleaning, no signs of chlorine in the water (is there evidence of it being maintained for holiday let use?), the sauna didn’t heat up any more than 59 degrees (recommendation is about 75 degrees), so we couldn’t use sauna or hot tub. kettle is rusty/corroded and a few Tupperware bowls would have been nice, as well as, instructions on how to use the convection oven and induction hob. We left after 24hrs of our stay. Too many issues!
-
"We had a lovely stay."
Beautiful setting. We took advantage of all the facilities available. Such a lovely secluded position. You wouldn't know there were other yurts on the site. We only knew when we took a boat ride around the lake. We had such an enjoyable visit. We highly recommend it and hope one day to visit again. Rick,Linda and Bono

"We had a really great visit, the yurt is such a delightfully cozy nook."
It’s not really that far off the beaten path, but it still feels a bit hidden tucked away from every day life. The yurt was equipped with all the amenities (and luxuries!) needed for an extended stay. We’re really looking forward to visiting again.
-
"We loved our stay at the lake yurt despite the rain, a little slice of heaven."
There is so much wildlife nearby I wish we had brought our binoculars. We had a relaxing break away and would definitely come back. Cleanliness was good, but there were a lot of cobwebs inside the yurt.
-
"I really loved being at the yurt."
I liked the hot tub, the films on the projector. I liked watching the wildlife.
-
"Kitchen equipment could be improved."
Only one champagne flute, one pint and one half pint!! Two wine glasses was fine, but that was it. There was washing up liquid, and dishwasher tablets, but the dishwasher immediately said it needed salt and rinse aid, so we had to go buy that. Knives extremely blunt! Sauna not working effectively, takes a couple of hours to reach an acceptable temperature. Main thing was the cleanliness, the floor clearly had not been swept or mopped and the drawers and bedside table that pull out were terribly dusty and mouldy. The tap/shower head over the bath leaks really badly all over the floor. Don’t get me wrong, it is a beautiful and peaceful location, hot tub was great, I just think it is looking very tired, could do with a bit of tlc and better cleaning done.
-
"Been coming here now for 12 years we love it peace and quiet fishing relaxing."
Animals and bird life fantastic. We think now it needs a bit updating and also rather than a dishwasher it could do with a small freezer as there are only 2 people and no need for a dish washer.
-
"Yurt could do with some general TLC."
Not all the windows open, indoor table and chairs would be nice instead of a breakfast bar. Toilet facilities are okay for “No 1’s” but not for “No 2’s”, blocked several times. Hot tub has definitely seen better days, and could do with replacing.
-
"Perfect for privacy, very romantic getaway"
-
"We enjoyed every moment during our visit!"
! Definitely would like to go back. Thank you for the opportunity for our relax
-

The property was excellent the only downfall it had no freezer could do with a small one but overall it’s a beautiful place to stay been there for the past 12 years
-
"Lovely place."
Needs a bit of TLC . Will come back and stay again. Thank you for a lovely week.
-
"This is just heaven on earth."
For peace and tranquility it is second to none ,and as for the wildlife, well, it's just amazing! So if you want to jump off the 9 to 5 grind, this is the place - immerse yourself in the sound of the birds, watch the otter play, see the kites and buzzards above and all from your own, very private hotub. We will be back a.s.a.p.
-
"Lovely secluded spot to get away from it all and relax!"
It could do with a little TLC but we still had a fantastic weekend in the lovely little hideaway! Will definitely go back.
-
"Excellent place to stay fully secluded and private hot tub was great and fishing ..."
Excellent place to stay fully secluded and private hot tub was great and fishing was great too the owners were very nice people and very helpful couldn’t fault it will definitely be going back sometime in the near future
-
"Absolutely lovely set up and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
We have already looked at potential dates for next year to come back and recommended to a friend who is planning to book for March next year! Beautiful scenery and wildlife, with a real sense of being able to switch off from the outside world. We felt so relaxed and at peace, we didn’t want to come home!
-
"We had the best time at Lake View Yurt."
I couldn’t recommend this place enough it is fantastic and completely faultless. Sitting in the hot tub to sitting up on the terrace watching the lake and out in the rowing boat to having a bbq next to the lake. It is so peaceful and the owners couldn’t have done anything more. We will be back very soon! Thanks for an AMAZING stay!
-
"Another wonderful holiday at these comfortable yurts."
We have been about 12 times and hate leaving. First time we took our dog Ginger and she loved all the wildlife and the farm terrain. We saw 6 deer, herrons, geese, 19 goslings in one family, barn owl, ducks, black swans and a sygnet, cormorant, squirrels, pheasants and king fisher; but no Partridge in a pear tree!! Can't wait until we return, very restful, relaxing and of course we drank and ate well.
-
"Third time we have stayed love the place"
-
"We were not keen on the toilet being in such a small cupboard with no hot water or even a towel rail, we had to wash in the kitchen sink, and it was quite a long walk in the dark to the village, fortunately we had a torch."
Nice friendly pub, the Beckford Inn, with good food.
-
"What an idyllic little getaway."
So peaceful and picturesque. The hot tub was perfect for an evening under the stars and the wildlife was amazing. Highly recommended for those that want to get away and relax. Used own boat although one available if you wanted to explore the lake and even spent some time fishing. Will definitely be booking to visit again.
-
"Hot tube burnt me to much chlorine in water and was very dirty."
Sauna was dirty and smelly boat engine didn't work microwave didn't work. Toilet blocked everytime you put paper into toilet. Slugs getting into yurt somehow. Yurt was very quiet and peaceful but wouldn't go again as nothing worked and everything was dirty
-
"We arrived on Sunday the 1st August we met by the owner, who showed us to the yurt we had a brilliant stay the hot tub was amazing the view and the ducks was lovely sauna was OK shame we had to clean out the boat and the electric motor didn't work which we was told it worked as for the place its self I think it could have been more updated in the kitchen."
we had lovely fluffy towels and robes I didn't realise there was so many spiders in there lucky my partner didn't tell me I would have freak out, overall we enjoyed our stay would love to go back soon
-
"An amazing place to stay!"
Peace and tranquillity! Great hosts! Nothing is too much trouble but you only see them if needed! Apart from that you don’t see another soul unless one of the other guests take a trip out on the lake in their boat. It’s just you and the amazing scenery and wildlife. Already booked for next year (our 4th year) and cannot wait!
-
"This place is truly amazing."
We were shown around by Dave who was very helpful & friendly.yurt was clean and had everything you needed the towels and dressing gowns were lovely and fluffy and a lovely touch.bed was very comfy and huge..loved the hot tub & sauna which we used everyday. Used the BBQ and chimnea every day whilst over looking the lake with spectacular views.the ducks were very friendly and would feed from our hands which was fab..my heart hubby enjoyed fishing and caught quite a few fish..we want to the the star in a couple of times for food which was really nice and just a 5 me mute drive and we had some lovely walks . just everything about our stay was unreal it was secluded and peaceful and we couldn't of wished for anywhere better to spend our anniversary and will definitely be booking to come back

"A fantastic place to get away from it all and relax."
-
"The yurt and location are lovely."
Just a shame that the cleanliness let’s it down. Make sure you clean everything when you arrive
-
"The best part about the yurt was the hot tub & amazing views of the lake - very relaxing."
The yurt was stocked with nearly everything you need and bed was clean & fresh. Bath towels and robes were a great extra. However, the cleanliness of the yurt was not quite up to standard. When we arrived, there was lots of cobwebs and spiders especially in the bathroom. The toilet itself was clean but the bathroom was very grimy, the cupboard even had dead wood lice inside. The pipe above the toilet leaked rain through the ceiling and unfortunately these things really let the yurt down. The yurt also allowed for lots of creepy crawlies to enter including slugs, which we believe was due to the gap between the yurt wall and skirting by the bed and bath. The bath was lovely but was dirty when we arrived. As well as this, we never used the sauna outside due to the cobwebs covering both the inside & out which was a bit of a let down. Overall, the yurt needs a deep clean and ultimately the lack of cleanliness was what has let it down for us.
Many thanks for your feedback. We live on site so it is a real shame you didn't contact us during your stay as we are very keen to ensure every guest has a lovely time. I am afraid spiders and cobwebs are part of the countryside. Property Owner

"The yurt was very dirty when we arrived."
Did not feel covid safe. Very cold and damp in the yurt due to the skylight dripping water/condensation constantly unfortunately this also dripped onto the bed and made it cold and dampfor this reason we chose to drive home on the Thursday evening and did not stay our final night on the yurt.
Thank you for your feedback. This is very out of character for this yurt as the feedback is always excellent. The owners are on hand to help you if needed during the holiday. The property is cleaned using the cleaning guidelines that we are working with for Covid 19. The owners provide sanitisers. The cottage is fitted with underfloor heating and this can be controlled to adjust the temperature for you. Once again, thank you for your comments Property Owner

"It’s actually undersold on the website."
Underfloor heating excellent! Hot tub excellent. The most perfect setting, right on the lake. Total peace and quiet in the most beautiful setting. Comfy bed and every facility you could ask for. Very well done. Will 100% be returning soon!
-
"We enjoyed everything about the holiday , the location the yurt was in ,it was so private and we saw lots of wildlife deer poll cats geese swans it was amazing."
the hot tub and sauna where a plus and the finishing touches in the yurt robes and towels . We have never stayed in a yurt before and we will definitely be going again this holiday was amazing.. Cant wait to go back.

"We haven’t had a weekend away child free in 12 years and we were looking forward to this weekend immensely!"
It didn’t disappoint at all! Beautifully peaceful surroundings, glorious weather, great food cooked on the BBQ and pure relaxation! Everything was as it should be, the owners were incredibly lovely and accommodating. We spent some time on the lake in the boat surrounded by inquisitive geese and black swans! We made friends with a gorgeous pink footed goose whom we named Pete! He would come right to us and ask for food! Not aggressive at all but very chatty and personable with us. We saw a gorgeous black deer in the nearby field and heard the owls at night! The projector screen and abundance of movies was a lovely touch. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor furniture was well used this weekend. The hot tub although glorious was a little too hot to use with outdoor temps of 31! But when we used it we were incredibly relaxed and enjoyed it immensely. Overall an amazing weekend and just what we needed. We would love to come back again for sure. Thank you Sykes and thank you to the owners for sharing this beautiful setting.

"We had the best time , it was a very relaxing break and We did not want to leave !"
Even the little bit of rain we had couldn’t spoil it , highly recommend!
-
"Will be recommending this fabulous, relaxing, peaceful yurt to all our friends and family."
-
"Holiday was lovely, the owners were delightful and very helpful."
The local area was also great with lots of things to do. Private hot tub and sauna was just what we needed after a long day exploring.
-
"Wonderful little gem hidden away from noise and society!"
I booked the yurt for a surprise engagement location and it was more than perfect. The owners were very friendly and allowed me a later check in than would be usual due to work, and also allowed me to decorate the yurt with personal touches for the engagement. Hot tub is lovely, in there most of the time and going out in the boat was a nice romantic touch. Only downsides if any would be the guese are very loud in the morning and the natural light comes through the ceiling so not much chance of sleeping in. Overall though highly recommend!
-
"Wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet fabulous hot tub really stress free holiday"
-
"The yurt is in a wonderful secluded spot it is very comfortable with good facilities,the bed was clean and comfortable,the interior of the yurt could do with a good springclean to spruce it up a little ."
All in all we had a very pleasant and relaxing weekend and would recommend the food at the nearby star inn at Ashton. Michael and Cheryl.
-
"It was a little outdated and drity , but has beautiful views very blissful and quiet the dog loved it we had daily visits from the owners dog (fred) which was lovely."
The sauna and jacuzzi was nice ,my husband loved the fishing it was a very relaxing experience and would go back again .
-
"Pictures don’t do it justice"
-
"We absolutely loved staying at this yurt."
The outside area was a little tired but that's living outside! It just added to the rustic charm of the place. We had a fantastic week, we spent so much time watching the wildlife and making friends with the ducks and geese (especially Wonky with the dodgy wings who ended up feeding from our hands). I still miss the early wake up call tapping on the yurt door! The sauna and hot tub are perfect for relaxing and we BBQ'd 5 nights out of the 7. So peaceful, so beautiful and we have already booked to come back next year :)

Our 4th visit to this lovley comfortable yurt and definetly not our last the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings cannot be beaten and the view from the deck is amazing the owners are really friendly and helpful Thank you for letting us share your delightful yurt x

"There is no better place for unwinding and getting away from it all in beautiful surroundings and watching nature."
Absolutely fantastic !!!
-
"The yurt was fab, really enjoyed our holiday."
Waking up to the lake view and the wildlife was a setting like no other. Will definitely book again
-
"We had the most amazing week here, completely private and secluded making it the ideal getaway when you need to unwind and relax."
We made good use of the facilities, especially the hot tub! It was just perfect and exactly what we were after. We can't wait to go back.

"Paradise"

"My partner and I really loved this holiday."
It was so peaceful and there was so much to do around. The setting was absolutely incredible and it was very relaxing. The yurt was lovely and warm and cosy. The surrounding towns were beautiful and very dog friendly! It does however look quite tired and it could do with some work doing on it. The hot tub was very old and the bubbles barely worked and the sauna never got that hot. However, these were small things compared to the overall experience, hence the high rating. Overall a lovely experience and I would recommend!
-
"Would recommend it’s the only place ever stayed and not met a sole unles we ..."
Would recommend it’s the only place ever stayed and not met a sole unles we went into town so secluded and very private
-
"The sheer peace and quiet and being surrounded by nature yet only a 15 minute walk to a really good pub"
-
"We were so impressed with Lake view Yurt that we are going to make another booking for next year on the same lake , but try one of the other Yurts only because we were a little too close to some badger sets and did not want our little Jack Russel to get into trouble."
All in all it was a fantastic holiday and we cant wait for our next visit.
-
"Absolutely brilliant idyllic and peaceful."
Loved the sauna, hotub, the private lake for hubbys fishing. Had a fantastic holiday there would definately recommend it.
-
"I can see why people put so many good things about this secret place it’s very magical and me and my wife loved every minute of it."
-
"Location, literally on the lake, and the abundance of wildlife was incredible."
The complete privacy was an unexpected bonus. The yurt itself was probably hi-spec when it was first put up but is now a bit tired and in need of sprucing up. That said we will definitely stay again as this was one of the most relaxing holidays we’ve ever had.
-
"Although are stay in the yurt was extremely relaxing, with the views being fantastic, the outside sitting are is in desperate need of tidying up."
The outside seating was very shabby with some of it being broken. When we arrived we were told that the Sauna was not working, which was a little disappointing as we were really looking forward to using it
-
"We have previously stayed in the Lakeside Yurt which was absolutely lovely and now Lakeview."
Amazing view, peaceful and extremely comfortable, my partner proposed whilst there and it is a very special place for us and our dog. We will definitely be returning here.
-
"This is the fourth time we've been to the yurts and each time although a little different they have been the best holidays ever."
....we are definately going to return
-
"Seclusion and facilities."
Would be great if price could reflect number of days (we stayed 3 nights but paid for a week, might be reasonable for high season, but for the end of October...).
-
"All of it it was fantastic peaceful clean comfortable hot tube and sauna was great fishing was good too"
-
"THE most relaxing holiday ever."
-
"Any shortcomings were quickly rectified by the owner"
-
"Brilliant relaxing week in lakeview yurt."
Extremely secluded, not over-looked except by the ducks and if other yurters were out on their boat!. Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub (hot and clean) and sauna overlooking the lake. Daily al fresco dining - including the chimenea oven, we managed to cook pizza, steak and sausages on it, perfect! And the "egg" BBQ is a beast once it gets going! One word of warning, there are a lot of spiders, so arachnophobes beware! Recommend the local beckford inn for great food - the shortcut through the deserted farm buildings at night was an experience though, bring a torch! The Star Inn at Ashford also good and better value. And recommend visiting local villages of Broadway (nice boutique shops and brilliant deli), the Slaughters (possibly most picturesque village we've ever been to) and Stow on the Wold for decent shops. Will definitely look to return in future.

"Very secluded very unique and very relaxing - loved every minute - back to nature but with all the modern facilities!"
