As the yurt is surrounded by sheep and horses, we kindly ask that dogs are kept on a lead within the yard and livestock areas. We are fortunate to be located in a peaceful rural setting where sound carries across the countryside. We therefore ask guests to keep noise to a minimum after 10pm. You're very welcome to relax outside, enjoy the fire pit and take in the spectacular dark skies, stars and occasional meteor shower.
