Gurt Yurt

About this place

The site is in the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set in your own private meadow surrounded on three sides by woodland, the yurt is an oasis for wild life. You may be lucky enough to get a visit from our local deer who often amble into your own meadow, normally in the morning. You will certainly be serenaded by the wild birds.

Down on the ground sheltered beside the verandah is the barbecue area with an unlimited supply of wood and a big steel firepit to cook up a storm or just slowly warm up a few of our marshmallows on our special forks. **Local Area:** There are many well-regarded pubs within walking distance at either end of the Batch.
