CORNISH YURT: ALBION FARM

Albion Farm Yurt offers luxury camping in a beautiful part of Cornwall. It is completely private, in a field of its own on our smallholding on the outskirts of Mylor. The yurt has a wood burning stove to keep it cosy.

The Yurt (or mongolian gurt) is fully equipped for that ‘back to nature’ experience, with all the home comforts you need. Look up at the night sky through the roof sky light. study the stars sitting out on the deck,  snuggle up around the wood burning stove, or sit by the campfire.

The yurt is 16ft in diameter with a ceiling height of 10′ or so it feels spacious and sleeps 4 and a cot comfortably. It stands on a level wooden deck with a wood-burning stove in the centre, and carpets and rugs on the floor. The double bed is a ‘sleigh bed’ with a warm comfortable mattress.

We supply fresh linen, pillows and duvet for the double bed which will be made up for you. If more than two people, we can provide two inflatable mattresses, but you will need to provide bedding for those. A cot is available if needed.

The pine wooden doors are more secure against the elements than canvas tent flaps. There is a gas cooker suitable for use in the yurt or use the kettle on the wood-burning stove. Outside you can cook under the stars on the Weber BBQ or on the camp fire. All basic cooking and eating utensils, including a cafetiere for coffee are provided. There is a hot shower, basin and flushing WC in a separate cabin immediately adjacent to the yurt with electric lighting. A fridge and freezer are located in a separate building close by, where there is also a power point for charging mobile phones. You are welcome to bring additional tents and guests by negotiation.

This yurt is based on a traditional central Asian design, with a steamed wheel and steam bent roof poles which give the yurt its unique domed interior and steep, rounded profile. The frame of the yurt is covered with thick canvas fastened from outside the yurt with ropes.
