HANDBUILT WITH LOVE
All our yurts are individually hand crafted, meaning each is unique
EXPLORE OUR YURTS
Our hand-built yurts are based on traditional designs from Central Asia, where the sturdy structures have been used for thousands of years by nomadic people. We have changed the traditional felt outer shell to a more durable waterproof canvas to take account of Scotland’s climate, but they retain their snug and cosy feel, especially when the wood burning stove is lit. All our yurts also have windows to allow you to enjoy the natural light and the beautiful surroundings.
As each yurt is individually finished, furnished, they are all truly unique.
Yurts available for rental in 2021 include: Holly, Aspen, Rowan, Willow, Juniper, Cherry, Hazel Geodome and our most recent addition Larch

LARCH YURT

70 Metres to Hub
Larch Yurt is our most recent creation and is new for the 2021 season. It is a totally unique design based on a traditional yurt but with a contemporary twist that really makes it something special. As with our other yurts Larch is off grid and has a wood burning stove. Larch however has a few other additions. It is fully insulated and double glazed. The kitchen area is separate from the main room giving it that bit more of a spacious feel. There is also a covered seating area, perfect for soaking up the sights and sounds of the forests what ever the weather! Larch also benefits form a solar panel that powers LED lights within.

OK, so as a geodome, Hazel in not actually a yurt. At 14ft across it is our smallest tent, and is structurally quite different from the yurts, being a fairly modern invention! Hazel has just one double bed but has the same facilities and wood burning stove as all our yurts.

WILLOW YURT

Willow Yurt was added at the start of our 2016 season. At twenty feet across, it is our biggest traditional Yurt. With one double and up to three single beds it accommodates up to five guests. It is the furthest situated yurt from the Hub, at around 250 metres. But is has the benefit of a composting toilet situated nearby.

"We had a wonderful stay. We found our yurt comfortable and the lovely wood stove kept off the November chill. A gas stove was convenient for making tea and there's a very comfortable shower in the heated "Hub". ”

WHAT'S INSIDE
Each yurt is fully furnished and equipped, to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable:
- A wood burning stove and a basket of firewood
- Comfy beds, duvets, pillows, bed linen and towels
- Table and chairs
- Two hob gas cooker/grill with pots, pans and a kettle
- Cutlery and crockery
- A cool box and access to ice packs at the Hub
- A lockable door
- An outdoor seating area (picnic bench or similar)
As the yurts are off-grid, they are free from mains power and water supply. Instead, we provide solar/hand powered lighting units and a refillable container of fresh water.
Due to popular demand, we are planning new composting toilets to be sited at near to the yurts furthest from the Hub. One is already in place near “Willow”. These are for our guests’ convenience and to provide an alternative to our our other bathroom and toilet facilities at the Hub in times of high demand.
Please note that all the photos on the site are illustrative and exact furnishings may differ from those pictured as we replace and renew items over the course of the seasons. Thank you for your understanding.
