Our Yurts
"...for that back-to-nature experience..."
Using a design that has served the nomadic tribes of Mongolia for centuries, our Yurts have been made by a local craftsman from timber grown on Bodmin Moor. These vaulted tents have an intricate lattice for walls and steam bent roof poles to give them their distinctive shape
Adapted for our climate they are covered with sail-grade canvas and mounted on wooden platforms. Inside there is plenty of room to stand and admire the simple beauty & elegance of the construction which will give you a camping experience like no other
We have four Yurts available for holidays and short breaks at South Penquite
Our Yurts are fully equipped for that 'back to nature' experience, with all the home comforts you need. Each have a wood burner & gas stove to cook on and provide heating. Futons provide sleeping and seating areas and a cot is available if needed. Rugs, throws and cushions add colourful comfort. all cooking and eating utensils are included - just bring you own linen or sleeping bags. For a full inventory of one of our Yurts (PDF) please right click here and select "save target as..."
Set in their own field on the campsite with stunning views across the moors. Look up at the night sky through the roof light, open the door to allow the moorland air in, or snuggle up around the wood burning stove. Hot showers and loos are free to use and we have a freezer for ice pack exchange
|
The Yurts are available from 18th May til 30th September and all bookings are Friday to Friday Outside of the school holidays reduce rates are offered for shorter stays between Fridays, but with a minimum stay of three nights For instant availability and details of how to book securely online please click here |
Dogs
Because we are a working sheep farm and because of our close proximity to the open moors I'm afraid that we cannot accept dogs however small or well behaved.
However next door to South Penquite is an excellent boarding kennels which would then give you the freedom to explore Cornwall while keeping in daily contact with your pet
Penquite Petcare can be contacted on 01208 850360
please book well in advance - these kennels are extremely popular
