Inside Out - Luxury Yurts
Seatoller Farm - Borrowdale

The campsite at Seatoller is situated at the head of the dramatic valley of Borrowdale.  Set at the foot of Honister pass it ideal for walking in to the Lake District's mountains, visiting the Western Lakes via Buttermere or just relaxing in magnificent surroundings.

We are just 15mins drive form the busy town of Keswick and only 4 miles from the shores of Derwent Water.  There is a small licensed cafe in Seatoller and the Pub at Stonethwaite nearby offers drinks and homemade food. The recently reopened Honister Slate Mine is at the summit of Honister Pass and a popular attraction now boasting the Park's first Via Ferrata. 

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 it is now known! 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.

We have two yurts each is 16ft in diameter and sleeps up to four people comfortably. There is a standard double futon and two single futons. We provide freshly laundered cotton sheets, pillow cases and feather duvets. We can provide an air bed and bedding for a fifth person if necessary.
