Guests say
The Lakeside Yurt in Tewkesbury offers a tranquil and picturesque getaway, with guests praising its serene location, abundant wildlife, and unique experience. The hot tub and privacy are recurrent highlights, while the yurt's comfort and thoughtful touches like robes and candles contribute to a relaxing stay. Some guests mention minor maintenance and cleanliness issues, but the overall sentiment is one of rejuvenation and eagerness to return.
Most guests found the yurt clean, with fresh towels and a tidy interior. However, a few noted cobwebs and outdoor areas needing attention. The balance of positive and negative comments suggests good but not impeccable cleanliness.
The yurt's location is consistently lauded for its peacefulness, beautiful lake views, and proximity to wildlife. The seclusion and natural setting are major draws for guests seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests enjoying the cosy bed and the warmth of the fire. Some guests noted the bed size and natural light as minor discomforts, but overall, the yurt provides a comfortable stay.
Facilities like the hot tub and BBQ are appreciated, but some guests reported maintenance issues such as a non-functional boat and outdoor lighting. While the unique facilities add to the experience, there is room for improvement.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful extras like candles, playing cards, and dressing gowns. While these touches enhance the experience, it is noted that such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

Chris
Yurt was adequate. Towels, sheets etc very clean. A quick clean of the inside and outside of cobwebs would help. Ice cube tray in freezer would be good. Location is beautiful and the variety of wildlife is amazing which makes up for the shortfalls. All in all this a unique stay but may not be for everyone.

Absolutely love this place. It's so quiet and has everything you need. Just had a new hot tub installed on the day we arrived and the owners checked in on us to make sure everything was OK. Abundance of wildlife. Lots of places to visit close by. Can't fault the yurt at all.
