About West Kellow Yurts

This glamping site enjoys a lovely location with sea views, just an easy walk across the field and down the lane to Polperro. It's perfect for a relaxing break, whether swinging in a carefree hammock, chatting with friends over food at the picnic tables or getting cosy around a real campfire. Each of the three yurts has about 100 square metres of space. You can just about make out your neighbours at 50 metres away! The yurts have plenty of character and are very relaxing, with cosy log burners, double beds and an extra double mattress under the bed. Two of the yurts have the option of a further single mattress upon request. Outside the yurts, you'll find two sun loungers, a table and chairs, a campfire area and a hammock. Extra baskets of logs/kindling can be purchased from the summer house, but you are welcome to supply your own if you prefer. There's also a quirky Wild West-style wagon with outdoor seating and space for a campfire, a breezy bell tent furnished with a double bed and cooking equipment, plus a cute shepherd's hut sleeping two. There's also a duck pond, chicken coop, herb garden and greenhouse a few minutes walk away. It's a peaceful place for a relaxing break, particularly with couples looking to get away from the city for a few days. You can also book the whole site for parties and events.

The yurts, wagon, Star Gazer hut, wood cabin and bell tents are open between April and mid September. The shepherd's hut is available between January and mid October.


Facilities and amenities

The site has high-quality wet rooms and toilets, and a rustic amenities block with two fully equipped kitchens with a fridge freezer, gas hob and microwave. The 7kW solar power (with mains backup for nighttime), and freshwater from the site's own natural spring (tested regularly and UV treated for safety) makes the site an eco-friendly one.

A note from the site themselves...

We try to do our bit for the environment where we can. We harness the power of the sun with our quatre of an acre of solar panels and have a natural spring to provide drinking water, which is UV treated and regularly tested.

We have been running the site since back in 2013. Since then, we have had lots of happy campers through our doors with many returning each year. Myself and the team hope to welcome you soon, Matt

Great place to stay

Shepherd's Hut - The Star Gazer HutJul 2023

Great place to stay with the added bonus of the communal kitchen. We stayed in the star gazer and it was big enough for family of 4. We collected the chicken eggs in the mornings also, which was a nice little extra.

Rustic but everything you need!

Yurt - Barn Owl YurtJul 2023

We had a great stay at West Kellow Yurts. I will say that you should listen to their welcome email and avoid Kellow Hill unless you are used to driving up steep, windy lanes! That being said, the location is a bit remote (it has its plus sides as it's lovely and quiet) but you will be driving down country lanes no matter which way you go. The yurt was a good size. Sadly, the weather was not on our side, so it was a bit damp the entire time we were there, even with the fire going full blaze. There was a gap between the door and the frame and I don't think that helped. The rain was pelting away though, and there was no leaks, so that was comforting! The communal kitchen was awesome. It had everything you could need including pots, pans, cutlery and a fridge/ freezer (the freezer is hiding in the smaller kitchen!) The toilets were clean, but I think a separate toilet block would be helpful as the toilets and shower are together in the same room. As there are only 2, in the morning you may be waiting for your morning loo break! Also, there is no lighting at all in the yurt so bring along a camping lamp or you'll be trying to do everything by candle light. All in all, we would stay there again. Hopefully next time, the weather will be better and we can enjoy the sea view and the walk down to Polperro.
