Gurt Yurt Reviews
The Gurt Yurt's perch atop the Mendips is perfect for gorgeous channel views. Embrace the peaceful wildlife surroundings settled on top of a plum tree, with a private veranda to soak up the scenery. Nearby Cheddar is full of walks, pubs and more to enjoy.

Gurt Yurt is a gem! After driving up the steep and very bumpy approach road (it’s worth it!), we arrived to a complementary bottle of prosecco and pressed apple juice! Tim and Sara are welcoming and friendly and really go the extra mile to ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The yurt is secluded and offers great views. The beds were comfortable and the woodfire stove kept the chill away. The shower (good pressure) and compost toilet (no offensive odour) were modern and clean. Tim and Sara have rescued battery hens (that the kids got to handle) and an apple orchard (which we sampled). As a bonus, the kids even learnt to drive a tractor! One of the highlights of our holiday.

We had a lovely time in the Gurt Yurt- 2 adults and 2 children (7 and 13). The location is perfect- you feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere, yet everything you need is not far at all. We had a couple of lovely days out as well as spending a couple of days at the site. Tim was a brilliant host- he checked in enough to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us advice on where to head when we asked, but otherwise left us to our own devices so that we could enjoy the place! We took 2 dogs with us and they enjoyed it just as much as the rest of us! The yurt had plenty of space for us all and wasn't cramped in the slightest- we found it to be very family friendly. We have since recommended to friends who have booked to come soon, and hope to come back ourselves as well!

Absolutely amazing stay! Both me and my partner were really happy with everything! The host, Tim, was everything you could ask from a host, showing us around the yurt and surrounding field, very helpful and kind. He even gave us some fresh eggs from his own chickens. Lovely views and even saw a deer.

Thank you, that's very kind considering the very wet weather you had. Love to see you again when it's a bit drier here.

The yurt was excellent and had everything we needed as a family with children aged 5 and 12. The meadow in front of the yurt and the views were what made the site extra special. Perfect place to relax. The children enjoyed playing there and loved the campfire at night. The owner Tim was super helpful and couldn't have done more to help us. Highly recommended.

Gurt Yurt is a lovely place to stay. It is a very spacious yurt (plenty of room for our family of 2 adults and two older kids) which is nestled into the trees in a secluded green, grassy area. Lovely views. Lovely peaceful solitude. The yurt is extremely well equipped; everything we could possibly have needed was provided, and it very nicely furnished. Everything is very clean, including loo and shower with hot water. Hosts were super nice.

We had a wonderful stay at the Gurt Yurt. Such a beautiful and private location with only owls and deers for neighbours. The yurt and washroom were spotless and the host very friendly. We even got fresh eggs.

My wife and I had a lovely stay in the Gurt Yurt with our 5 year old daughter. The track approaching the site is a bit bumpy, but once there it is a fabulous location. Tim the owner kindly met us when we arrived and took our luggage to the yurt on his small tractor whilst we walked down to the yurt through some woodland with beautiful wild flowers. The yurt is spacious and has nice furnishings and has everything you need for a stay. The views from the yurt are spectacular and the Prosecco, local apple juice, eggs from the roaming chickens and marshmallows that Tim left for us on arrival were a nice touch and a big hit. We spotted some deer from the yurt and also whilst out on a walk which was a highlight, as well as hearing plentiful birdsong during the day and twooting owls at night. The rope swing in the field in front of the yurt was a hit with our young daughter and there is also a comfortable hammock in the field. There are lots of walking trails in the beautiful countryside surrounding the yurt. Overall a great time in our first time staying in a yurt.
