Guests say
Island Yurt in Tewkesbury offers a tranquil and picturesque retreat with abundant wildlife and a private, peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the unique experience, the hot tub, sauna, and the opportunity to connect with nature. While some find the yurt and its amenities in need of a refresh and a more thorough clean, the charm and seclusion of the location often outweigh these concerns. The property provides a distinctive escape with a mix of outdoor activities and relaxation opportunities.
Reviews indicate a need for improvement in cleanliness, with mentions of cobwebs, dated crockery, and a general need for a deep clean. However, the interior is noted to be cleaned by a professional company, suggesting a moderate level of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its seclusion, natural beauty, and wildlife, offering a serene lakeside setting that guests find ideal for relaxation and privacy.
The yurt is described as warm and comfortable with a cosy bed, though some guests suggest it could benefit from updates to enhance comfort further.
Facilities like the hot tub, sauna, and BBQ are well-received, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues and the need for a refresh, indicating room for improvement.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts, thus the score is set to null.

Lakes were a lovely view but could do with better fishing facilities ie pegs and maybe a few bushes cut down on other lake to be able to cast out. Close for travelling to other areas. Owners very polite and helpful :)

It was private, clean, had everything we needed to enjoy our week away with our doggie in tow! Loved the wildlife, the bbq, hot tub and hot showers. Very friendly locals, happy to talk and gave us heaps of great eating out suggestions! Beckford postal cafe was lovely. Daily trips out were finished off by a relaxing evening in the Yurt. Felt like home from home! Thanks Sarah
