Yurtshire at Eavestone Lake

I wish I could leave this place a 5 star review but sadly not! I was sold on a romantic couples retreat to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary / late honeymoon but sadly the yurt next to us had a family with young children who spent the entire time screaming and being loud and dive bombing into the hot tub. So sadly at no point could we truly feel relaxed and none disturbed with nature. I personally don't understand who would take young children here, they will have nothing to do. We wanted to nap and read in the day but it was impossible so we ended up leaving the place and adventuring to nearby places for most of the day just to get some peace. Another thing that upset us was we went to use the sauna the day after arrival and someone had put there name down for over 6 hours in the timeslots, meaning it wasn't free until 2am and there wasn't a chance of us doing that, especially since they had no lighting on the path leading up to it, it was pitch black. So we lost out there due to selfish people and no actual management of it. The actual yurt and facilities I can not fault, they are beautiful. However we was missing our net for the hot tub and BBQ, so we had to request those the next day, when we could reach somebody. I can not fault the two staff I dealt with either as they were kind and well mannered and even let use to the vehicle to get our suitcase to our yurt. They also give you a TV which includes no arial or network to use the streaming apps, so we was stuck with a few random dvds like finding dory, very romantic. I don't believe we got our moneys worth and it's a true shame. For those who are going, I highly recommend going to the Druids Temple and Forbidden Corner, we went after checkout and it was the highlight of our trip over this way.

This was our first glamping trip and was very enjoyable. A stove made the yurt very cosy, it had a great shower, and the mattress was comfy (though it may need flipping as I slid into the middle during the night). We really enjoyed the hot tub! The site had a "back to nature" feeling but with a few mod cons. Some kitchen items need replacing but nothing show stopping. The walk to/from the yurt is very steep but staff can help transport luggage with a 'golf buggy' which we made use of. A lovely break and we would happily return!

We stayed for two nights at Yurtshire, the check is process was easy and the lady on reception helped us with our bags. The booking team were also great! The location is gorgeous and close to National Trust attractions including Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey. The Yurt itself was lovely, the woodland location makes it private as you can’t see other peoples yurts or outdoor spaces although you can hear them. The Woodland Sauna is nice and easy to book by writing your Yurt name on the chalk board. The Hot Tub is also a great feature. However there were a few disappointing factors that I wouldn’t expect from paying a couple of hundred pounds a night to stay. They were very tight with the logs, you only get one basket and then you are expected to buy extra from the honesty box. You’d expect from a two night stay these are refreshed as it felt very stingy. The main issue for us was when the man appeared in our Yurt to collect our bags on the last day. He arrived before 10am (the check out time) and I appreciate probably with helpful intentions but he was nothing but rude and condescending. He spoke to us with no respect and was so rude. He stormed into our yurt without asking to get the bags, a complete breach of privacy and respect. He proceeded to see the empty bag of logs and say “have you paid for those” in a rude manor. This left a bad final impression after what was a lovely restful stay and we felt completely disrespected. As two young professionals who have travelled extensively this is not something we would expect to experience and did tarnish the stay. If you paid a couple of hundred pounds to stay in a hotel you definitely would not expect that service.

We can't recommend Yurtshire highly enough. This was our first time glamping with our 3 year old and it was a perfect 3 day holiday. We especially loved the outdoor hot tub, which doubled as an ideal cool plunge pool for our son to use during the heatwave. The yurts are huge and fully equipped. It's a great balance of privacy and calming nature without being isolated. Very comfortable (soft furnishings, great shower, full kitchen, dvd player) and luxurious but excellent value compared to other glamping in Yorkshire as you get so much for your money. Matt, the owner, was really friendly and our son said the trip up the hill in his electric cart was the best thing about the holiday!
