Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the yurt comfortable and well-equipped, though some noted areas for improvement in cleanliness, including cobwebs and the need for a deep clean. However, these comments were not universal, indicating a generally satisfactory level of cleanliness with room for enhancement.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to wildlife, with many guests enjoying the seclusion and the lake views. The yurt's setting provides a perfect backdrop for a peaceful retreat, contributing to a high score in this category.
Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests mentioning the cosy bed, the warmth of the yurt, and the overall comfort of the accommodation. Some minor suggestions for additional amenities were made, but these do not significantly detract from the overall comfort experienced by guests.
Facilities such as the hot tub, sauna, BBQ, and projector are well-received, with many guests enjoying these features. However, some reviews suggest a need for maintenance and updates, which affects the score slightly but does not overshadow the positive experiences with the facilities provided.
While guests express appreciation for the yurt's amenities and the natural setting, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for this category.

We stayed on island Yurt for a week the setting is perfect and so peaceful. Our Yurt was clean and ready on arrival the owner met us and showed us around. Kitchen contains all pots, pans and cutlery with kettle, toaster and microwave with grill, fridge with small top freezer box and a dishwasher. Bathroom with good size shower and instant hot water, large comfy bed, sauna, hot tub, firepit, BBQ and reclining chairs all in a good outside space set on the scenic lake. A small area exists at the back of the Yurt for parking which is handy for unpacking and packing, there is also a small rowing boat with is fun to cruise around the lake. The wildlife around the lake is amazing with Australian Black swans, Canadian Geese, Heron, Squirrel and some of the most beautiful dragonfly you'll see. With permission the owners are happy for you to fish, caught lots of Roach and Rudd but not carp as conditions were extremely hot for the week. Location is ideal for exploring the cotswolds sited 10 miles north of Cheltenham with easy access to the A46 with Evesham and Tewkesbury Close by for shops. Had we not gone out exploring we wouldn't have seen a soul so peaceful is the location but owners on hand via a quick call if any queries. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook fantastic place.
