Our four yurts are scattered through a patch of private woodland in the South Downs, each tucked away among the trees and out of sight of the others. They're completely self-contained, with proper beds, heating, fully equipped kitchens and private hot-water shower pods.

Each yurt has its own outlook onto the woods, with double doors opening onto a private deck and a wood-burning stove for cooking and evenings around the fire. Skylight domes let you look up into the trees by day and watch the stars at night, with little light pollution to get in the way.
