Cosy yurt in lovely location - but as other reviews have said - the site is run down and could do with some tlc.

Had an amazing few days in the Tod yurt, very comfortable and cosy yurt, amazing location and the kids loved playing in the river, saw so many stars and kept my oldest up for a while to see shooting stars. So much nature about and we saw badgers, adders, lizards, bats and we think slowworms - will definitely be back

Stayed here for husbands birthday. Met on arrival by the owners, who were very helpful and easy to talk to. We stayed in the Houlet Treehouse and the bed was so comfy. We brought our own bedding as they offer a discount when you do so. Overall a great stay, it's very back to basics so don't expect a full-on glamping experience, because it's not. There's a fabulous pub approx 25 mins walk away or a 3 minute drive, the Hollybush Inn in Greenhaugh. You must book ahead if you'd like dinner there. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

A beautiful, quiet, back to basics place to stay. If you’re not used to camping life ( no hot water or electricity, cooking outside etc) this won’t be for you. There is no one on site to help you which is fine but they are also very poor at replying to messages. Would also benefit from a simple gas stove to make cooking much easier. Overall, lovely, but with some room for improvement!

Stayed in the Howlet tree house. It was stunning both back to basics and luxury at the same time. The outdoor bath was amazing, an owl watched me as I relaxed one evening, and my daughter was fascinated by lizards in the woodpile. Something very rare to see in the UK. Secluded is an understatement, we didn't see another guest outside of an authorised event.

If you love the outdoors this is a quaint, fun and peaceful place. Wear wellies or walking boots and don't take too much luggage! To get to the yurt you need to walk down a small slope and cross over a rope bridge. It was clean on arrival with a good supply of kindling, firelighters and wooden logs. The decor was beautiful and the bed surprisingly comfortable. The stove heated the yurt well so we didn't feel cold. We were also able to cook breakfast as there was a cooking stove and pans provided. We used the communal kitchen to charge our phones and make a quick coffee in the mornings. As we had read what to do on arrival and studied the map, we didn't need to contact the owners for anything. We were left to our own devices which we appreciated as it is meant to be wild living after all! But the owners are contactable by WhatsApp. I messaged before and after our stay and a response was received quickly on both occasions. Thank you for a brilliant stay we will return!

Location and surroundings are great, very quiet and remote. The beds were comfy, and the Merle yurt has a lot of character. Those are the good things. As for the bad things: the place gives the impression of having been set up, and then more or less abandoned. Poor dish washing facilities (disgusting brush/sponge, dirty sink). Muddy slippery path to the bridge, which is covered with some half-gone chicken wire meant to prevent slipping. Wooden deck to enter the tent, which also got very slippery in the rain and nothing to prevent a fall. It would benefit the owners to show a little more involvement, especially since the stay was hardly cheap.

Amazing!! Absolutely loved staying here. If you like camping (campfire, outdoors, nature) and home comforts (double bed, wood burner, sofa) then this is perfect. Make no mistake, this isn't super luxurious - there's no electricity in the yurt, or running water - and there's no mobile signal (which was great!). If you can't manage a day without your Alexa or fibre broadband then this isn't for you. But if you want a fun, different and adventurous time with your family then book this. We have 3 children (12, 10, 7) they all absolutely loved it! Wish we'd booked for longer. We'll definitely be going back.

Just come back from staying in the Merle Yurt with my husband and 3 children aged 12, 9 and 7. I never normally leave any reviews but really felt like I needed to. It was certainly an experience, something completely different for us but each and every one of us loved it and was genuinely quite sad to have left. 3 nights but we could have easily stayed longer. So peaceful and quiet. Stunning views and the yurt had everything you needed. The kids loved the outdoor bath and had hours of fun in it. Camp fires under the stars, hardly saw a soul the whole time we were there. Would definately recommend and cant wait to book again.

This place is a real hidden gem. We stayed in the Houlet Treehouse Yurt. This had been rebooked due to Covid. We parked up in our designated bay and grabbed a nearby wheelbarrow to transport our gear to the Yurt. I luckily picked the path that didn't involve the swing bridge. The Yurt was clean when we arrived. It is a simply stunning location. I stayed with my 10yr old son and we were both so excited to stay in a real life treehouse, a truly special experience. Our Labrador came too and she loved the site. The fire pit was great in an evening and the yurt had a large table underneath for cooking on with a gas stove and spare canister. The yurt is fully stocked with crockery, pans and a kettle. It also had a dish and washing up liquid for the dishes, nothing forgotten about. We loved the hammock. Inside the yurt there is everything you need. I started the fire easily with the firelighters and kindling provided. It kept us warm all through the night too. The best part for us was the bed. It was one of the best beds I've slept in and the quality of the bedding and pillows was top notch. It was lovely switching off, enjoying the fairy lights and candle lights when it got dark. We had access to our own compost loo which was clean and located nearby to the Yurt. We also used the main toilets which were immaculately clean. The shared kitchen area was clean and spacious but we didn't need to use it with having our own space. The fridge, with your own shelf, is handy for perishables. My little boy enjoyed playing on the swings near the church. The fact there is no electricity and no wi-fi is actually very calming and allows you to totally switch off. We were very sad to leave and will definitely be back again. We both agreed it was the best place we'd ever stayed.
