Please Note
The Yurt must be respected at all times - there are restrictions on its use (see below).

Wildlife - A mouse may sometimes visit the yurt, and it may take a day or two to get rid of it (using a live trap). If this would be a problem for you, you should not book the yurt.

The Cornish Yurt
The Cornish Yurt is in The Funky Field.
It is available from June till September.
It is 4.8m / 16 foot in diameter.
It was made in Cornwall in 2008 from local hardwoods, at Tim Hutton's Yurtworks.
It has a central skylight and a window on one side.
It has a good groundsheet with carpet and rugs.
It has two double futon mattresses, plus a two-seat sofa and a coffee table.
Bedding can be provided for an extra cost, but we much prefer if you bring your own bedding (including sheets/covers for the mattresses, and pillows).
It comfortably sleeps a family of four.
The door can be locked from inside and outside.
It has a 4m x 4m shelter, a picnic table and a campfire.
It is situated in The Funky Field, which is used mostly by families in the school holiday season, and where there is more space for kids to play.
It is close to the car parking, and 100m from the shower room and Visitors Barn.

Yurt Hire Fees
The minimum charge covers a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids).
If you wish, some of you may sleep in a separate tent for no extra charge.

More Info
Bedding: Please bring your own bedding, including a double sheet or cover for each futon, and pillows.
If you travel here by public transport, we may be able to provide bedding for you, for an extra charge.
Cooking Utensils: We may be able to provide pots and pans and other utensils for campfire cooking, (usually only if you are travelling by public transport) for an extra charge.
Accessibility: You must be reasonably able-bodied to use the Orchard Dome (new for 2018, no details yet available), as it is about 200m down a gentle slope from the car-parking and shower room. As the orchard is terraced, there are steeper slopes below each terrace, and up to the compost toilet.
