Secluded luxury yurt getaway in rural Essex

You and a loved one+ a couple of open-air rolltop tubs + a yurt = an excellent escapade to Essex. All this is to be experienced at A Swift Escape, an adults-only site set in the far end of a paddock surrounded by fields and trees for a real private vibe. This is a getaway designed for pure serenity—don't expect a busy itinerary, just blissful relaxation. You’ll spend days taking alfresco dips and chilling out on your outdoor decking’s seating while sizzling up snacks on the gas barbecue. The space A Swift Escape is a peaceful and luxurious glamping retreat set in a traditional Mongolian yurt, tucked away in the rural Essex countryside, close to the Suffolk border and just a short drive from the award-winning blue flag beaches of Frinton-on-Sea and Holland-on-Sea. Perfect for two guests, the yurt offers a cosy hideaway where you can truly unwind. With a raised wooden deck, two outdoor roll-top baths overlooking open fields, a refreshing outdoor shower, and a fully flushing toilet, you’ll enjoy the comforts of a unique countryside stay. This is a glamping experience, so while it’s beautifully finished and thoughtfully equipped, it’s designed to be a little more outdoorsy than a typical hotel room. There’s no indoor kitchen or appliances—but everything you need for a relaxed and memorable stay is provided, including a BBQ, soft bedding, towels, and cosy spaces to enjoy. If you’re looking for something a little different, where you can disconnect and take in the calm of the countryside, A Swift Escape might just be the perfect retreat for you. Other things to note If you’re looking for a retreat where you can walk to shops or a local pub, this might not be the right stay for you. Our yurt is surrounded by peaceful countryside and farmland, offering complete seclusion — which is part of its charm. However, this does mean you’ll need transport to explore the area, with the nearest town of Colchester just a 20-minute drive away. We want to be upfront to avoid any illusions of a more central location — this is a true countryside escape!
