Luxury Lake District Yurts

- NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2012.

The Borrowdale site near the picturesque hamlet of Grange, just three and half miles away from Keswick is one of the most scenic locations you could ever wish to visit.

Nestled in a secluded part of the valley this traditional working hill farm is set amid some of the most beautiful scenery the Lake District has to offer, with plenty of walks from the door to suit all abilities. Climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, or simply relaxing on the shores of Derwent Water are all available too.

Surrounded by beautiful woodland, stunning mountains and on the River Derwent you could not wish for a better location for your holiday.

Our Yurts offer the perfect combination of back-to-nature living, without compromising on all the usual luxuries you would wish for on your holiday. Spacious with comfortable beds and cosy wood burning stoves  this really is luxury camping or 'Glamping' as we like to call it! Yurts are for people who want something different from their holiday. For families, friends, lovers of the outdoors, romantics, those in search of adventure and anyone who wants a little bit of luxury but still wants to feel close to nature.

Whoever you are the Yurt experience has something to offer you. One you will never forget.

What is a Yurt?
Yurts are traditional circular dwellings from central Asia that have been in use for thousands of years. The traditional yurt is decorated in colourful materials, handmade rugs and carpets. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter the yurt itself is supported with solid wooden trellis walls and has at its centre, a crown or  Tono  (ornate 'roof wheel') to further strengthen the structure. Covered with a thick, watertight covering the yurt keeps you dry and warm in any weather.
