The Lovely Yurt Company - Luxury Lake District Yurts
Newby Bridge, Windermere, Cumbria

OS Grid Reference: NY382867

For a truly exclusive, alternative camping experience..

Set in 20 acres of private, ancient woodland, in The Lake District National Park, overlooking the largest natural lake in England (Windermere) is the home of The Lovely Yurt Company.

Staying in a 'Lovely Yurt' is a magical experience. The roundness of the structure, the window to the starry sky through the crown, the colourfully hand painted Mongolian frame, the wood burning stove to keep you warm and snug and the Luxurious furnishings cannot fail to charm you.

The Yurt nestles in a sunny, secluded clearing in Fell Foot Wood, with plenty of open space and stunning views over Lake Windermere. With a large fire pit outside and lanterns hanging in the trees, the scene is one of peace and beauty by night as well as by day.

The natural resources of the woodland supply your basic needs from the private stream fed hot shower to the solar powered lighting, keeping you in touch with nature without compromising on comfort.

The yurt is fully equipped with:

  • Lots of space (at 22 foot, our yurt is considerably larger than most available for rent)
  • Beds and freshly laundered bedding
  • Table and seating for dining
  • Kitchen area with cooker and free supply of gas, kettle, crockery and cutlery
  • A ready built fire in the wood burning stove for you to light on arrival, plus a small supply of spare fuel to keep you going

  • Games, books, and information about walks and tourist attractions in the area
