It's YurtTastic!

It's true, I do heart Yurt. Yurt is Yurtilicious. It's Yurtastic. It's Yurtingly, Yurtotally Yurt. Ahhh Yurt.

So here is the gang that thoroughly enjoyed Bert the Yurt. As you can see, we all heart Yurt.

Ok enough of the Yurt related chat. But know that we all loved Yurt. Anyway, we arrived at said Yurt, which is located in the lovely countryside on the border of Wales and Shropshire. There was a nice lady who directed us to the middle of nowhere on the phone when we couldn't find the place, and then she continued to be nice for the rest of the weekend, which was nice.

Inside the Yurt there were some lovely things. I think the nice lady's husband or son or something was some kind of woodworker, which meant that there were lots of nice wooden things scattered around. I should think that he also built the outbuilding which housed the toilet, shower and sink, which were all nice and of good quality - not at all to the usual gross campsite standard. We made full use of this feature, as you can see below.

  So back inside the Yurt... There was a lovely log burner and a really comfy sofa bed in the main part of it, and then there was a second adjoining Yurt which housed the main bedroom. This was a lovely comfy bed complete with electric blankets and solar powered fairy lights! There was also electricity in the Yurt itself, which was mega handy, as well as a gas cooker on which you could make a lovely cup of tea. What more could you ask for?

On the area surrounding the Yurt itself was a beautifully made decking with enough chairs for all six of us around a table. There was also a sun lounger for when it didn't rain, and another log burner-come-bbq on which you could make some tasty sausages for dinner. The views were also spectacular. We had great fun naming the sheep in the surrounding fields and also playing on the swings and trampoline in the Yurt's garden.

As you can see in that picture, the weather wasn't the greatest...but the views were still stunning and the rain sounded heavenly on the Yurt's roof when inside. If anything the rain made the experience even better as we were able to enjoy the cosiness of the log fire inside the Yurt! Although none of us were complaining when there was bright sunshine on the last morning and we could all sit outside and eat breakfast!

All in all this was a fantastic place for a weekend gathering. We managed to fit six of us in there fairly comfortably, and found that the shops of Oswestry were close enough to make a few trips for food and drink. This Yurt trip has made us all fall in love with Yurt, and we are determined to come back or do a Yurt trip around the country!!

This Yurt costs £80 per night and sleeps 8 people, with 2 people sleeping in a tent outside. www.offasdykeyurts.com
