Lake Yurt at Dartmoor Yurt Holidays

A traditional Mongolian yurt in its own private and idyllic setting on the banks of a little lake complete with dinghy, in a stunning location on Dartmoor. Lake yurt has a woodburner, double bed, double futon and single futon, kilim rugs and Moroccan lanterns. Walk across the little bridge to your own compost toilet and wood fired shower nestled in the woods! Get back to nature and the simple life! If you like privacy then Lake Yurt is the perfect place for you. Set between a little lake and a magical woodland, this is all your own private domain. Row the dinghy out on the lake and enjoy the total peace and tranquility. Barbecue delicious dinners on your open fire. Enjoy the comfort of the yurt with its beautiful hand painted doors and poles. You also have your own fully equipped rustic kitchen and dining area next to the yurt and a picnic table by the lake. Plus a hammock and a swing! We are happy for you to wander round our 26 acre smallholding. From our land you can walk directly onto open moorland where you will see wild ponies and sheep. Come up to the house and meet our chickens and Paddy the dog who is hugely popular with all our guests. You can charge your mobile phone in the barn. Make yourself at home! We are on hand if you need us with help chopping wood or lighting fires or information about the local area. But we also totally respect your privacy. Your yurt and the yurt site is your own private haven throughout your stay. Dartmoor is a place of outstanding natural beauty. There are tors to climb. You can walk for miles or swim in the river or go kayaking (very popular round here!) You can drive to beautiful beaches or visit Totnes which was voted one of the most funky towns in the world. But some people are happy just staying at the yurt because it is so idyllic. Most people arrive here by car but if you don't have a car we can fetch you from the nearest station at Newton Abbot. Parking is next to our house and then we transport you and your belongings down to the yurt by tractor. Ashburton is the nearest town for shopping with 2 delis, an artisan bakery, a butcher and greengrocer and 2 small supermarkets. We provide you with wood for your woodburner and with all the firewood for the open fire where you can barbecue food or toast marshmallows! You will need to bring your own duvet covers, sheets, pillow cases and towels. Or we can provide your bed linen for an extra £7.50 per person.
