We have two yurts for hire at Keveral Farm: a Cornish Yurt and a Mongolian Yurt, and two Bell Tents.
They can all comfortably sleep four adults or a family of five. Both yurts have matting and rugs over a good groundsheet, and two double futons, one of which can be used as a sofa. They have their own campfires and a picnic table.
The yurts must be respected at all times - there are restrictions on their use (see below).
The Cornish Yurt
A 16 foot / 4.8m yurt made in Cornwall in 2008 from local hardwoods - it has an oak door, an ash crown wheel and trellisses, and hazel roof poles. It was purchased in August 2008. It was made by Richard who works for Tim Hutton's Yurtworks. It has a central skylight, but no windows.
The Cornish Yurt is on 'The Ridge' (not where shown in the above photo). It is on the edge of our woods, surrounded by nature in a sunny and sheltered position. It is on the way to the beach, and on calm nights you can hear the sea breaking.
The Ridge is away from other campers, but there are spaces close by for three other tents (one large, one medium and one small), so it is ideal for small groups. These other pitches go with the yurt, so will only be used by you or your friends. It is 250m from the unloading point, but we have big wheelbarrows to help move your things.
Drinking water is piped there, and it has its own compost toilet.
The Mongolian Yurt
This is a genuine Mongolian yurt, purchased in June 2008. The yurt is 5m in diameter, with a wooden door painted with traditional designs, as is the crown wheel, roof supports and roof poles. It has a central skylight with a canvas cover that can be folded back in fine weather, and small windows at the side of the door. It was made by Ulaantaij in Ulaanbaatar.
It is situated in the Orchard Camping, but not too close to other tents. Drinking water is close by.
Use of the Yurts and Bell Tents
The yurts and bell tents must be respected at all times.
Excessive drinking and inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.
They are not suitable as a party venue for groups of young people.
Groups wishing to use them must guarantee that they accept these conditions, and I may ask questions of you in seeking this reassurance.
Oak's Yurts Hire Fees
Availability and existing bookings
The Bell Tents
The two 5m bell tents are for hire at £5-£10 per night on top of the normal camping fees. They are both in sunny, sheltered and quite private positions in the orchard. They have good groundsheets with carpets and mats, and a double futon mattress. They are a comfortable, inexpensive and convenient alternative to bringing your own tent.
The Bell Tent No.1
This is usually in the lower part of the orchard, close to the shared campfire. Other camping pitches are nearby, so it lends itself to being booked by small groups, or families who are happy to share the campfire with other families.
The Bell Tent No.2
This is usually at the upper end of the Orchard, in the quietest and most sunny position. It is at the end of a row of six small terraces, which are usually (but not always) reserved for people without kids. It has its own campfire, and space for a small tent, on the adjacent terrace.
