We have two yurts for hire at Keveral Farm: a Cornish Yurt and a Mongolian Yurt.
The Cornish Yurt
A 16 foot / 4.8m yurt made in Cornwall in 2008 from local hardwoods - it has an oak door and trellises, hazel roof poles and an ash crown wheel. 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.
It can comfortably sleep four adults or a family of five. It has seagrass matting over a good groundsheet, and a double futon which can easily be converted to a sofa. It does not have a woodburner.
This year, the Cornish Yurt will be situated on 'The Ridge', on the edge of our woods, surrounded by nature in a sunny and sheltered position.
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 it is on the way to the beach, and on calm nights you can hear the sea breaking. We have big wheelbarrows to help move your things.
You have your own personal campfire by the yurt, and a picnic table. Drinking water is piped there, and there is a simple 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 can comfortably sleep four adults or a family of five, and the most so far is three adults and four kids. It has coir matting and rugs over a good groundsheet, and two double futons (one set up as a sofa, the other as a bed). It does not have a woodburner.
It is situated in the Orchard Camping, not too close to other tents. You have your own personal campfire by the yurt, and there will be an outdoor kitchen area with a double-ring gas cooker. You have your own picnic table, and drinking water is close by.
