"As die hard campers, this was 5 star ++ luxury, which we adored and was a perfect way to celebrate 20 years of marriage. We especially loved the bath, but also the more subtle things : camping ‘wild’ with no mown camp site grass and no tiny pitches with taxing neighbours. The yurt at night, lit only by the tea light lanterns, whilst cooking simple local produce on the wood burning stove, (no pubs for us – ours was here!!). The sound of acorns plopping on the roof in the night, looking up at the sky all through the night, the sounds of birds as arrivals scrabbling around outside, even the sound of rain added to the sense of serenity and well being. Who needs tropical beaches or game reserves! Soon our yurt research will be complete and we will buy our own.” Fiona and Joe
With burning log fires and big open skies on the edge of Bodmin Moor the yurts are in a beautiful spot. Leaving your car behind, you come out on foot through the oaks and gorse to a view of north Cornwall that stretches from moor to sea. Following a meandering path for 120 metres down unspoilt natural heathland, lined with blue bells and wood anemones in May and Tormentil and Willow Herb in summer, you emerge through an archway of gnarly Cornish oaks into a small sheltered field.
The Green Man Yurt
16ft, Sleeps 2 (plus one little one)
The deep green yurt is hard to see against the backdrop of oak and hawthorn trees and sits on a level wooden base, felt lined for maximum insulation. Sixteen feet across with standing room all round the yurt interior is in warm contrast to the greenery all around. It is lined throughout in red and yellow with beautiful hand stitched mongolian embroideries and woven bands in rich colours all around the walls. The floor is covered in carpets and rugs with a large double bed and big cushions to flop onto. The yurt frame itself is made here in our workshop from coppiced ash with wiggly poles reaching up to the overhead wheel with a clear window to the sky. Lanterns, suspended from the roof poles, cast a warm glow and beautiful shadows in the evenings. It sleeps two with space for a cot.

The Ash Field Yurt
20ft, Sleeps 6
The biggest of our holiday yurts is about 180metres from the car park, and has white canvas covers with coloured linings and Mongolian embroideries around the walls. The space and the light coming in through the canvas roof gives this yurt a bright, airy feel. Erected on a deck in a separate field about 100 metres from the 16ft yurt, it is secluded and surrounded on two sides by Cornish hedgerow trees with an open view to the south west that stretches out across Cornwall.
