Luxury Lake District Yurts at Low Wray on Lake Windermere
Furnished with a distinctly Moroccan feel with thick woolen rugs, bright colourful throws, twinkling fairy lights, solar lighting and large skylight lanterns, our Yurts are cosy, comfortable and definitely different, guaranteed to make you feel completely relaxed and away from it all.
Sit back, take a deep breath and relax. Feel the warmth of the wood burning stove, look up and let your eye be drawn up the roof poles, past the Moroccan lantern and through the large skylight where you will see the stars twinkling in the night sky………endless possibilities await on the holiday that lies ahead you.
Modeled on the ornate Turkmen Yurt and made in the UK from light coloured ash sourced from sustainable woodlands our Yurts are extremely strong and are capable of withstanding anything the British weather can throw at them. The outside cover is made from a thick water tight poly cotton canvas. High enough so you don’t have to bend down when walking around and set on a raised wooden tongue and groove floor come and enjoy a back to nature holiday without compromising on the usual luxuries you would expect from you holiday.
Long Valley Yurts have two 16ft diameter Yurts located at Low Wray large enough to sleep five people comfortably.
