Lakeview Yurt

Lakeview Yurt is a bright 20-foot yurt on the outskirts of the pretty village of Beckford, on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border, in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ideally situated on the edge of a fishing lake, boasting underfloor heating, a roll top bath, a veranda, a hot tub and a sauna, making it the perfect choice for a rural romantic getaway.

Pull up and park, then linger for a moment as the stillness of the setting gently sets the tone. This single?storey retreat sits beside the wildlife lake, offering an easy sense of seclusion without feeling isolated.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a well?balanced studio?style space where each element has been thoughtfully placed to encourage switching off and settling in. Start your stay by setting bags aside and easing into the flow of the space.

The kitchen area suits relaxed, everyday cooking, whether you’re warming a simple supper or preparing something unhurried, before pulling up a seat at the breakfast bar to linger over food and conversation. As the day softens, drift into the sitting area and enjoy the gentle warmth underfoot while the atmosphere remains calm and uncluttered.

When evening calls for slowing down further, pull down the projector screen, load up your favourite DVD, and sink into a laid?back cinema?style night. Later, move across to the king-size bed and wind down at your own pace as the evening draws to a close.

For deeper relaxation, the roll?top bath provides an indulgent escape, inviting long soaks with the door closed and the outside world left firmly behind. A separate basin and WC, accessed via the yurt, keeps the main living area feeling open and uninterrupted.

Outdoors, the experience continues at a slower tempo. Step onto the wooden veranda and move easily between heat and fresh air, soaking in the private hot tub, slipping into the two?person sauna, or settling beside the chiminea with a drink as daylight fades.
