The Old Yurt
This is no longer rented out, unless you are really desperate! It is still waterproof, but is a bit sad looking.
The yurt is 5m in diameter, with two windows and the central skylight. The door opening is covered by a blanket. It can comfortably sleep four adults or a family of five, and the record is nine adults!.
The floor covering is carpet over plastic. No bedding is provided for this. It does not have a woodburner. It is close to the small tipi and the shared camp fire. The price is 25% less than for the other yurts.
