It was quirky/ cosy and the children loved making up the log fire

Stayed in April 2024

We spent my husband's birthday weekend in the Forest of Dean. The yurt was a perfect base, comfortable, beautiful and clean. We fell asleep for the sound of the gentle rain on the round roof and the warm sound of the fire from the wood burner, and woke up for beautiful birdsong, feeling at the heart of nature. We saw deer in the back garden early in the morning. Debbora was so kind and thoughtful, we gratefully received some fresh eggs from the chicken, which made a wonderful breakfast outdoor. Really special experience, highly recommend. Thank you.

The only negative thing was that coming in October with little ones meant we couldn't make the most of all the facilities - e.g. the outdoor fire and eating, but hopefully the hosts would have us back another time.

The Oakdean Cottage yurt is a magical place tucked away in the trees with wonderful views of the hills and woods. The yurt itself was well appointed and lovely and cozy with the wood burning stove. It was comfortable and quiet and we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come again perhaps in the Spring to really make the most of the facilities. The location was ideal for all the fabulous things to do nearby.

The fault i would say is the water boiler for the kitchen sink is only a 5 litre one and the sink is a bigger capacity than that and the plug let's water out so have to was dishes quick . But again the simple way of life I loved .

Simple easy way of life for a few days away from the hustle and bustle . The yurt was so comfy and warm. My only fault would be the slippy path but good old rain added to that. X

nothing…fully appreciated all aspects.

brilliant, fun…and certainly a first for us as a family but not the last. Debbora was very kind and welcoming and supportive. we cooked and ate outside in clean fresh air which was refreshing and the adventure of being in a yurt was not missed by all of us especially our little girl.

Nothing, we loved every aspect

A very welcoming family, the facilities were spotless and the Yurt was amazing. The location was stunning and we had everything we needed for a family break. The yurt was clean, the beds were super comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed (we loved the outdoor cooking area), the bathroom was perfect and the grounds were great for the kids to run free!

The banter, the chickens, the views and of course the yurt!

Utterly peaceful and tranquil

I thought it would be in the forest. It was in a backyard. The hike was a long distance from the bus stop. The shower was temperamental. Chris was able to get it working after I texted them.

It was fun and comfortable.

The unexpected steps were a bit of a pain, prior knowledge would have been nice

Very peaceful, an experience that I will definitely recommend to friends

The yurt is very comfortable and cozy, there are lovely views and it felt very private. Great to have cooking facilities, an outside table we enjoyed making use of the campfire. Would highly recommend, especially if looking for something a unique experience.

Wonderful atmosphere, left us everything we could possibly need. Had a wonderful time listening to the gentle rain on the yurt roof, and the crackle of the fire in the log burner as I fell asleep. Just what we were looking for. Lovely place to spend some time.

Nothing to dislike.

Clean, comfortable and in the most beautiful spot, surrounded by the forest of Dean. Wildlife every where...perfect. Lovely owners , who are there if you need anything.

Novel. Beautiful location and handy for exploring the area. Very quiet. Cosy but suprisingly spacious. Lovely circular walk along the ridge behind the Yurt. From the ridge there are great views across the Severn estuary and a myriad of enticing tracks leading off into the forest. Stayed for two nights and saw wild boar and boarlets in the woods nearby (twice), as well as fox and woodpeckers. Can highly reccomend savouring a morning cuppa watching the sunrise with trilling blackbirds and song thrush and the sounds of the valley awakening below. It rained one morning and was suprisingly quiet inside. Thinking about a autumn return to see the change in the forest and try the log burner.

Perfection.

At the age of 60 I finally got my wish to sleep in a yurt ! Only problem was, I also wanted to sleep in the tree house ! Such a beautiful area on the edge of the forest in a superb garden with fireplace and hammocks plus a covered eating area. The separate bathroom and kitchen were immaculate as was the beautiful yurt. We did not want to leave.

Fantastic get away, couldn't rate it more

From car was sloping gravel track, across wet grass to path. Not a complaint as it was clearly mentioned in review. And got used to it and was only really tricky in the rain! But worth mentioning if not able bodied.

We love to stay in a yurt. excellent location, exceptionally clean and comfortable. Beautiful decor inside was in keeping with yurt. Cost and warm and comfortable. A truly lovely yurt, would stay again. Kitchen and bathroom had everything you could need. attention to detail very good.
