We had a great time staying in the Yurt at Kevin’s farm.
It was so cosy and had plenty of space to move around, even a little seating area with table. The bed was so comfy I snoozed a lot the next morning.
My mum had never stayed anywhere like this before so I wasn’t sure if she would enjoy it but she loved it.
It’s back to basics living. You cook in the outdoor kitchen and the private bathroom block, with lovely hot shower, is a few meters outside.
The benefit we found of having to go outside to the toilet at midnight is that there are no street lights so you get a fantastic view of the stars and the Milky Way. We stood and gawped for about ten minutes.
Kevin is a man of few words with a very calm demeanour. I can see why people might think he is a bit rude or stand offish but I don’t think that’s the case. He’s definitely a little eccentric which shows in his wacky accommodations!
You definitely pay a bit extra for the wacky experience compared to a normal room and being on a farm the WiFi and phone signal is really bad. So if you are the kind of person who can’t live without your phone then this isn’t for you.
But if you have an open mind and enjoy something a little different then definitely stay here.
Also, take some layers as it gets a little chilly at night but there are heaters and plenty of warm blankets and fluffy dressing gowns, which was a nice touch.
