Take a holiday in a Yurt – camping in style!
A holiday in a yurt is the perfect way to get away from it all without having to downgrade too much! Essentially a yurt is a tent, but if the word ‘tent’ conjures up images of muddy fields, a soggy sleeping bag and the most basic living conditions then think again. Yurts offer comfort, sophistication and luxury – not qualities you normally associate with camping! At the top of the range you can find yurts that have carpets, king size beds and hot tubs under the stars. Not bad for a tent!
Having said all that, the true beauty of a self-catering yurt holiday is that you can enjoy all the best things about camping without all the worst. The reason so many people enjoy sleeping outdoors is because it offers a truly back to basics lifestyle. What better air to breathe than the clean fresh air of the countryside, the sort of which you are unlikely to find in any city? What lovelier sound to wake up to than a chorus of birdsong instead of the sounds of traffic and commuters? And there is no better feeling than snuggling into the canvas after an evening of good food and conversation.
Nowadays you can find yurt holiday rentals everywhere. Cornwall is a yurt hotspot, as are Devon and many other idyllic countryside locations in England and Wales. Outside the UK you will also find yurt companies everywhere – particularly in places like rural France and Spain. So if you want to camp somewhere where there is less of a chance of rain, then a yurt in Europe would be a great choice. Yurt holidays are rapidly growing in popularity so your destination choice is only going to grow.
Yurts come in all shapes, sizes and styles, and the great thing about them is that they are totally moveable. So you are just as likely to find one on a hillside or in a forest as you are in a field or by the sea. They are also suitable for every sort of occasion or group. A yurt is an unusual and romantic choice for a weekend break for two but it is also a superb destination for a family holiday where the children can play safely in the countryside and you can escape from the daily grind. Whether you want total seclusion or a sociable campsite feel there will definitely be a single yurt or a yurtcamp to suit you.
Yurt holidays are also, of course, a brilliant cheap option. In the recession a lot of people are tightening their purse strings and holidays can be the first luxury to go. But if you are desperate not to sacrifice your precious time away then a self-catering yurt holiday rental would be ideal. Yurts themselves are much cheaper than a hotel or a villa and on top of that all you are paying for are the costs of getting there and of feeding and watering yourself.
