The yurt was absolutely lovely—beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. It’s the perfect retreat for anyone who loves nature. Peaceful, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty, it offers a truly calming escape.
must note that the property is not disabled-friendly. Getting to the bathroom at night was challenging, especially when it had rained and the path became slippery. The toilet and bathroom are separate from the main yurt, which added to the difficulty. It would be wonderful if there were an internal walkway or covered access for added convenience and safety.
Another important point to mention is the access road to the car park. It’s not suitable for all vehicles—especially not low-clearance, rear-wheel drive cars. I struggled daily to get my car in and out, and unfortunately, it resulted in damage to my tyres. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, as it could impact a guest’s experience and vehicle safety.
That said, the host and hostess were fantastic—very welcoming and responsive. No complaints there at all.
In summary, the property is beautiful and well cared for. It’s best suited for able-bodied guests with appropriate vehicles, and I would recommend it with that context in mind.

brilliant, fun…and certainly a first for us as a family but not the last. Debbora was very kind and welcoming and supportive.
we cooked and ate outside in clean fresh air which was refreshing and the adventure of being in a yurt was not missed by all of us especially our little girl.
nothing…fully appreciated all aspects.

A very welcoming family, the facilities were spotless and the Yurt was amazing. The location was stunning and we had everything we needed for a family break. The yurt was clean, the beds were super comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed (we loved the outdoor cooking area), the bathroom was perfect and the grounds were great for the kids to run free!
Nothing, we loved every aspect

It was fun and comfortable.
I thought it would be in the forest. It was in a backyard. The hike was a long distance from the bus stop. The shower was temperamental. Chris was able to get it working after I texted them.

Very peaceful, an experience that I will definitely recommend to friends
The unexpected steps were a bit of a pain, prior knowledge would have been nice

The location apart from the steep climb was peaceful.
The yurt was described as glamping! No electricity, furniture that appeared to have been rescued from a skip and a dangerous pathway to the facilities.

Gorgeous location - really comfy, clean yurt and everything we needed for our stay. We especially loved the chickens, and relaxing in the hammocks! Thanks for a lovely stay, we would love to visit again.

The yurt was beautiful and the facilities excellent. it was toasty as to be expected in a heat wave! The views were magnificent and it was very peaceful. Hosts were very hospitable and helpful.
Would be no good for someone with limited mobility. It would have been good to have some more comfortable seating outside. Loved the chickens but tended to pester for food. The lady gave us some corn to distract them but they were more interested in our food!

Novel. Beautiful location and handy for exploring the area. Very quiet. Cosy but suprisingly spacious. Lovely circular walk along the ridge behind the Yurt. From the ridge there are great views across the Severn estuary and a myriad of enticing tracks leading off into the forest. Stayed for two nights and saw wild boar and boarlets in the woods nearby (twice), as well as fox and woodpeckers. Can highly reccomend savouring a morning cuppa watching the sunrise with trilling blackbirds and song thrush and the sounds of the valley awakening below. It rained one morning and was suprisingly quiet inside. Thinking about a autumn return to see the change in the forest and try the log burner.

At the age of 60 I finally got my wish to sleep in a yurt ! Only problem was, I also wanted to sleep in the tree house ! Such a beautiful area on the edge of the forest in a superb garden with fireplace and hammocks plus a covered eating area. The separate bathroom and kitchen were immaculate as was the beautiful yurt. We did not want to leave.
Perfection.

We love to stay in a yurt. excellent location, exceptionally clean and comfortable. Beautiful decor inside was in keeping with yurt. Cost and warm and comfortable. A truly lovely yurt, would stay again. Kitchen and bathroom had everything you could need. attention to detail very good.
From car was sloping gravel track, across wet grass to path. Not a complaint as it was clearly mentioned in review. And got used to it and was only really tricky in the rain! But worth mentioning if not able bodied.

The location was incredible. Right next to the Forest of Dean and 2 minutes away Blakney village. I woke up the first morning to Deer in the garden. The Yurt had a fire in the middle of the room which kept us very warm and there were candles to keep the room well lit. (Romantic). The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We met the cleaner on the last day and again very friendly. We will be back in the summer.
Only thing I would say is it could do with some more lighting around the path to the kitchen and campfire.

The yurt is located is part of the owners garden, but is private and secure. There are lovely views from the covered seating area and yurt balcony across the valley. It is quiet and peaceful but not remote, with easy access to lots of local activities. We enjoyed days out walking in the woods, taking a ride on the steam train, exploring castles and visiting amazing pubs. You can also access the Forest of Dean directly from the yurt, which is handy.
Our children loved exploring the treehouse and having space to roam freely, within the secure garden area. Very comfy beds in the yurt and it was a bonus to have sole use of the facilities, including a proper toilet, shower, fridge, electricity, running water etc.
The hosts were attentive and kindly provided us with wood every evening. We used the outdoor fire area to cook dinner every evening and toast marshmallows, which was really enjoyable. The hosts also put up the hammocks for us and mowed the grass shortly after our arrival. We spoke to the owners a few times and they were very welcoming, yet allowed us our own space throughout our stay.
We would not hesitate to recommend this place to couples or families. Great value for money and plenty to do nearby, but equally enjoyable relaxing in the garden and beside the fire.
Thank you for a lovely holiday- none of us wanted to leave! 😊
Perhaps a little more storage in the yurt, but maybe that’s because we brought too much stuff!
