Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness receives positive remarks overall, with mentions of a clean yurt and provided amenities. However, a few guests noted that the place could benefit from more thorough upkeep and a refresh, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its idyllic lake views and the sense of seclusion it offers. Guests appreciate the natural surroundings and the wildlife, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests find the yurt comfortable, with a cosy bed and adequate facilities. Some concerns about temperature control and the size of the bed are noted, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the hot tub and kitchen being appreciated. However, comments about the need for a shower, maintenance of the boat, and the desire for a fan during warmer weather suggest room for improvement.
While many reviews express satisfaction with the amenities and the welcoming nature of the hosts, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

The bed was super comfy and everything we needed had been thought of and provided. The only small negative for us was the cleanliness. The Yert itself was clean and tidy (a few cobwebs up in the beams) but nothing too disgusting. The outside area though could have done with a wipe over. The seating area needed a good wipe before we could use it, including the table and the bbq equipment looked like it had seen better days. The outside area just needs a bit of TLC. We loved the hot tub although a light near the hot tub would be useful as one evening after the sun had set it was pitch black so was hard too see each other. The view is beautiful, I could sit and stare at the birds all day. Watching the wildlife in and out of the lake was relaxing.

Amazing week and the weather was good to us. Lots of bbq and hot tubs watching the stars. Loved all the wildlife... herons, swans, kingfishers, ducks, geese etc even saw a snake swimming across the pond. So peaceful and such an idyllic place to recharge your batteries. Everything you need is provided for a lovely stay. Highly recommend this place.

Warm welcome. Comfortable bed. We did have a wonderful time and the location did outweigh any negatives. However, would have been preferable for tree branches to be cut back that hung over the hot tub. Also the rowing boat was full of water and couldn't be used. Needs a little TLC. Bbq utensils and lounge cushions kept outside so warn by weather and bugs. Only little things for us didn't spoil the stay.
