Escape to our cozy yurt nestled on a working farm in Essex. With a skylight above your bed, fall asleep under a canopy of stars in this unique blend of rustic living and modern comfort. Measuring 5.8 meters in diameter, the yurt comfortably sleeps two, making it perfect for couples, friends, or solo adventurers seeking nature and serenity. Inside, you'll find a comfy king-size bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a table and chairs, and a mini-fridge to keep your beverages ice cold. We'll make sure there are some essential local food items, including bread, eggs, and butter, waiting for you. Outside, you'll have your own space with a BBQ, outdoor eating area, and campfire, as well as shared toilet, hot shower, and washing up facilities. Our yurt is an ideal spot for those wanting to reconnect with nature and experience the charm of rural life. It's important to note that the shared bathroom with a hot power shower and kitchen washing up facilities is a 150-meter walk from the yurt. There is a drinking water tap at the yurt itself, which provides cold water only.
