Yurt stay

Yurt stay

We think wacky stays with the farm animals is a great concept, especially for children. If choosing again, we would not take the yurt. The mouldy smell was overwhelming - didn't think it was due to the animal hair construction - I have done a lot of rough 3rd world (and 3rd class) travelling and this was not that smell. It was mould. The outdoor kitchen was pretty rugged and not particularly clean, but a fun element for summer. Some things didn't work - one side of electric blanket, lights in outdoor kitchen, doorbell to owner. But the owner was very helpful and the info provided was thorough. Grounds were also quite muddy, but I appreciate it was winter. We were cold with the bedding, which was not the case in other places we stayed. I did love the duck enjoying the night rain - quaaack, quack, quack, quack 🙂 So, avoid the yurt, go in summer, take a torch and your kids will love it.

The yurt is great. Kitchen is cool but shared. Checkin was a slight annoyance. Location is ok. Very comfy and a fun change from hotel rooms.

Liked: the yurt idea, animal feeding and access to the zoo, bathroom facilities, friendliness of the owner. Location is a couple of miles from town, but thats no problem with a car....it was quite apart from the donkeys and the cockerel (and we were very pleased to hear them :-))
