Our beautiful handmade yurt is set amongst an ancient orchard on an idyllic smallholding, nestled between the Kent Downs AONB and Kent's spectacular coastline.
The smallholding itself is a slice of rural Kent and, with pigs, geese and free-range chickens just a stone’s throw away, you’ll soon be making some fairly unique friends.
We have such a great location, Canterbury is just 10 minutes drive away and the trendy coastal town of Whitstable can be reached within 20 minutes.

The space
Berty the yurty (as our 2yr old son calls it), is 5 metres in diameter and comfortably sleeps 2 adults and an infant. Inside Berty you'll find a super comfy double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a cracking little wood burning stove, a couple of UK made beanbag chairs and a mini-fridge to keep those all important beverages ice cold. We'll make sure there are some essential food items (bread, eggs, milk, butter) waiting for you when you arrive, as well as a couple of chilled beers in the fridge.

Outside you have your own fenced off space with a gas bbq, sheltered outdoor eating area and a camp fire, as well as a composting toilet, hot shower and washing up facilities adjacent to Berty, which are exclusively for your use. An allocated parking spot, right next to Berty, makes parking a breeze.
Berty is tucked away at the far end of the smallholding on the edge of a 20 acre accessible wood, with sweeping views of the neighbouring fields. The small holding is home to free range chickens, geese and pigs who all live a happy life in amongst the old orchard trees. Eggs are complimentary and we're more than happy to arrange for you to collect them yourself if you're in a 'hunter/gatherer' sort of mood!

Our rural location is truly fantastic! You'll instantly feel the stresses and strains of everyday life disappear as you soak up the delightful Kent countryside and adjacent ancient woodland. The picturesque Stour valley is just down the road, Canterbury and it's cathedral are only 10 mins away and Kent's extensive coastline can be reached in less than 20 mins. Some delightful pubs and restaurants can be found in Canterbury, and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to top quality country pubs in the local area.
Guest access
You have your own private facilities within your private fenced off area, accessed by a lockable gate. The private outdoor space measures approximately 10m x 10m and is located at the far end of an 8 acre smallholding which is home to 1000 chickens, several geese and around 2 dozen pigs all in their own fenced off area.
Additional notes
Cooking can be done on top of the wood burner inside the yurt or on the bbq with side burner ring in the bbq shelter. The grassed area outside of your private space operates as a very basic campsite and welcomes campers throughout the year. Numbers are kept to a minimum in order to maintain the peace and tranquility of the area.
The A2 is just under half a mile from the property so a small amount of road noise may be heard if the wind is blowing from that direction.
