Night in a Yurt

Was a cozy stay for a chilly night! Great hosts with clear communication, was exactly as stated! Would stay at wacky stays again for sure. Nice clean and comfortable facilities.

Yurt stay

We think wacky stays with the farm animals is a great concept, especially for children. If choosing again, we would not take the yurt. The mouldy smell was overwhelming - didn't think it was due to the animal hair construction - I have done a lot of rough 3rd world (and 3rd class) travelling and this was not that smell. It was mould. The outdoor kitchen was pretty rugged and not particularly clean, but a fun element for summer. Some things didn't work - one side of electric blanket, lights in outdoor kitchen, doorbell to owner. But the owner was very helpful and the info provided was thorough. Grounds were also quite muddy, but I appreciate it was winter. We were cold with the bedding, which was not the case in other places we stayed. I did love the duck enjoying the night rain - quaaack, quack, quack, quack 🙂 So, avoid the yurt, go in summer, take a torch and your kids will love it.

The yurt

The yurt is great. Kitchen is cool but shared. Checkin was a slight annoyance. Location is ok. Very comfy and a fun change from hotel rooms.
