The Lakeside Yurt Reviews

Amanda
We had a lovely 3 nights in the yurt it was lovely, relaxing ,we had everything ... We had a lovely 3 nights in the yurt it was lovely, relaxing ,we had everything we needed it was nice to have a proper toilet, it was very warm the fire was amazing, there was a few cobwebs but that's to be expected, the wildlife west beautiful even had doe in the woods seen the a couple of times,the lake was so nice to fish it's a shame it's not available weekends weekdays coming up to Christmas we would love to go again the price was affordable we had a fantastic time
Owners very friendly and welcoming. Yurt was adequate. Towels, sheets etc very clean. A quick clean of the inside and outside of cobwebs would help. Ice cube tray in freezer would be good. Location is beautiful and the variety of wildlife is amazing which makes up for the shortfalls. All in all this a unique stay but may not be for everyone.
Our 6th visit and it won't be our last. Absolutely love this place. It's so quiet and has everything you need. Just had a new hot tub installed on the day we arrived and the owners checked in on us to make sure everything was OK. Abundance of wildlife. Lots of places to visit close by. Can't fault the yurt at all.
Nicolas
This little corner of peace is perfect for a weekend away, the only company we had was ducks and a few swans, we thoroughly enjoy the hot tub by the water and the barbecue. We couldn't recommend the Lakeside Yurt more.
Was a lovely place to stay, amazing view across the lake. Could do with some TLC. The light in the toilet is very hit and missing it will work. More a miss make sure you have a torch just in case. The hot tub is nice but start to show it's age. I can understand with the location bugs and cobwebs etc. It would just be nice if when you arrived it looked like they had been cleared. 10 minutes with a duster inside and out would do it. Would I go again yes. Might upgrade to one of the other yurts on site to see if they are better maintained.
A very relaxed weekend break
Steven
I'm joking, I've told every one of my family and friends, but I don't want to spoil such an idyllic location, I want to keep it all to myself Thanks for a great stay.
Ive not put a low rating of cleanliness as a complaint as I canna see how you would be able to maintain a cleanliness level higher than my mark in the middle of a wooded area, it was everything we could have asked for as a break away from it all. Thankyou Dave and Sarah we look forward to booking again.
Lovely secluded yurt ideal for a relaxing break. Would have scored higher just needs a little TLC light not working in toilet or hot tub and the bbq was covered in cobwebs and weeds growing around the yurts front. But would definitely stay again without a doubt.
An amazing yurt set in a fantastic location. We had a tranquil break, surrounded by nature and peace. We are looking forward to our next yurt holiday!
A lovely property in a beautiful location but cleanliness was not good. Heating was broken and as for the boat, well you wouldn't want to risk it. A massive disappointment for us.
This is are main holiday every year and it never disappoints us. A pure paradise
Denise
The yurt was as described. We would have liked to have used the boat which was in the description, but it was dirty and full of water, so were unable to. The bed was super comfy. It got very hot in the yurt and the fan provided didn't make a difference. Spiders and beetles were a daily occurance, but you are staying in a woodland property, so to be expected. A full screen on the door would have been great, and stopped the mosquitos. The hot tub was amazing. The light didn't work for evening dips which was a shame. We googled how to use the hob. The deck area isn't suitable for fishing, as too high to lift fish over safely. The covered area is a great addition in hot or rainy weather. A flushing toilet was an unexpected bonus. Private, clean, functional. Evesham and Tewkesbury close by. The Beckford Inn was lovely and welcoming. The owner was lovely and the maintenance guy dave, very friendly and helpful in sorting the hot tub, mid stay. We didn't want to come home! We would love to return to experience one of the other yurts.
We had a very nice stay, and it was a beautiful setting.
Our 4th stay at the Yurt and it won't be the last. Amazing week and the weather was good to us. Lots of bbq and hot tubs watching the stars. Loved all the wildlife... herons, swans, kingfishers, ducks, geese etc even saw a snake swimming across the pond. So peaceful and such an idyllic place to recharge your batteries. Everything you need is provided for a lovely stay. Highly recommend this place.
Ellice
Beautiful location. Warm welcome. Comfortable bed. We did have a wonderful time and the location did outweigh any negatives. However, would have been preferable for tree branches to be cut back that hung over the hot tub. Also the rowing boat was full of water and couldn't be used. Needs a little TLC. Bbq utensils and lounge cushions kept outside so warn by weather and bugs. Only little things for us didn't spoil the stay.
Andrew
We really enjoyed the location of the yurt and the stunning scenery however it could do with a bit of a spruce up outside but inside was lovely.
Madeline
Arrived on Friday 9th Sept 2022 afternoon, to a very warm welcome from David and Freddie the little dog, Yurt was lovely and patio overlooking the lake, had a warm welcome from the 3 black swans and ducks that visited twice a day. My dog and I had a very relaxing few days , just walking and jchilling back to nature. Brilliant .
This was our 3rd stay. Again absolutely beautiful location and everything you need. Gorgeous yurt and idyllic location. We have already booked again for next year. This is a place to go and recharge your batteries.
Amazing location and fantastic hosts. Everything that could possibly be needed for a mini break. On the recommendation of the hosts we went to The Star pub only 15 minute walk away and I had what can only be described as the most amazing steak pie Ive even had! Hot tub was fantastic and the Yurt itself was gorgeous, very spacious and with a full kitchen including a double height fridge freezer! full oven and separate microwave. Even a dishwasher. Like home from home. Very comfy bed super king size and aircon to maintain a nice temperature during the night was great. Definitely a recommendation from me and we will be returning the next time we have the opportunity. 5 stars from us!
You definitely need to update your photographs because it doesnt reflect how it really looks and does not reflect the price at all. The Yurt is in an idyllic location but the Yurt is tired and scruffy. The hot tub is basically in weeds and long grass and the patio area is uneven and unsafe. The place could be lovely but anyone going needs to be aware your pictures are not how it looks. Its like its never been cleaned in years theres cobwebs everywhere. We were lucky with the weather and fishing on the lake great. I would not have spent that money if I saw what it really looked like.
Samantha
Our 4 th visit to the yurt and once again we had a lovely time look forward to going back at the end of the year
We didn't stay in this exact yurt as when we arrived there was an issue with the heat pump in the hot tub, but the owners effortlessly relocated us and were brilliant throughout! The yurt was so clean, and had everything you needed to have a comfortable stay. Especially loved the bath robes for the hot tub and sauna, those and the towels were so soft! Will definitely be returning next year. Thanks again!
Although the setting and outdoor facilities are amazing the actual yurt is very tired and grubby. The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, stained and old carpet, kitchen worktop really old and dirty. On the positive it was lovely and warm and the bedding was of good quality. We left 2 days early as didn't really enjoy our stay.
Steven
Your representatives need to visit and look through the Visitors book. For 2 years there have been the same comments about the cleanliness and how facilities could be improved. Stayed in same yurt last year and things definitely deteriated. Had to mend,as best I could, the two loungers outside. 34 of the jets in the hot tub didn't work which potentially could harbour deseases. The dome in the yurt could do with a clean so you can experience the night sky properly. The b o at ,for the 2nd year running only had one oar. I could go on. On the plus side beautiful location, secluded ,private with top pubs nearby.
It's not your place. You did nothing. You just advertise the property for the owners. You should ask how well did you enjoy your stay. And I would say, I felt like a millionaire, truly loved the location. Fire pit in the woods. Hot tub was excellent. Bed really comfortable. Please change your questionnaire to or add how did you find your hosts. Or something to that. Not annoyed at you, but feel the hosts deserve credit for making such a great location possible for others to enjoy.
Davina
We stayed here in 2019 in the secret Yurt and it was amazing and the only issue was the spiders. This Yurt has cobwebs everywhere on the ceiling which couldve easily been cleaned. The hot tub had mildrew round the sides and in the daytime could see it was very dirty on the floor. The rowing boat had mismatched ores so we couldn't really use it and was very dirty. I just feel if a bit more cleaning was done it could have been a much nicer experience. The location is lovely and very quiet so with a few changes it couldve been amazing.
If your looking for peace and relaxation this is place to go. We never saw one person whilst we were there. So quite and beautiful and lots of wildlife.
Shirley
It could do with comfy chairs to sit in as only a metal bistro table and the bed to relax on and there is no food storage space . The area is beautiful and relaxing and I loved seeing the stars through the dome above the bed. The geese are a good alarm clock !!!
Will start with saying it was very comfy, bed was lovely. Didnt meet our standards, had to Hoover when we got there due to the carpets being filthy, cobwebs all over the yurt and the surrounding areas. Had to clean the hot tub for over an hour it was filthy! Could be such a beautiful setting but it seems the owners are just happy to collect their money and dont care about the places anymore. Microwave didnt work and hob was very temperamental. Hope this place gets some deserved modernising and money pumped into it for the expensive price you already pay!
Myself and my partner had a great time staying the Lakeside Yurt. The owners were very kind and helpful throughout our stay and the location was beautiful! We only have positive things to say about our stay and would happily go again.
Hayriye
It was just what I needed. A perfect break from everything without losing the mod cons. There was no tv and this was just perfect. We had a pc to watch movies in the evening. It was so lovely to wake up to the lake and geese, ducks and swans in the morning. After a few days the ducks got so used to us they would come onto our decking, have a look around then go back in the pond. Be careful not to leave the yurt door open when out of site as the ducks will go inside! It was so peaceful and nice to wake up in the morning and not see houses, people or cars. There was a limited bus service into Tewkesbury and Evesham. Both lovely towns. Like going back in time when you come from a city in a nice way. People are so friendly. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The bed was clean and comfortable. Having a dishwasher was a real luxury. I loved sitting on the decking in the morning and also going in the hot tub in the evening. It was a real escape. Even though the owners house and other yurts were close by the yurt was so secluded it felt like being alone in the countryside. For those on public transport the bus can be flagged down by the side of the road. They do stop running at 5.45 from Tewkesbury. We didn't try to get a taxi back so not sure how much that would cost. The hob worked well. There was a fire in the outdoor seating area and it can be made more sheltered on a rainy day by closing the sliding door. Excellent place to stay. Have looked at other yurt holidays but they don't have the extra home comforts like this one does.
Amazing place to stay. We will be back.
I have tried several times to contact Sykes by phone no one answers! and via email to which I have had no acknowledgement. I find it extremely infuriating when a person books a holiday and they have a valid complaint or constructive feedback and wish to communicate with Sykes and are constantly ignored. I have booked many, many cottages through various agents and can honestly say Sykes customer service is appalling. Please stop using COVID19 as an excuse for not providing professional customer service. This was the first time Ive booked through Sykes and it will be the last time. When you wanted a booking you were quick to act and response and service was fantastic up until the holiday ended. Thats where customer service took a back seat and you havent had the decency to return my phone calls or reply to even one of my emails. The standards were poor and I wanted to advise you with constructive feedback. I dont expect anyone will reply, even now its just one that is swept under the carpet. Youve had your money and just dont care. Please take me off your mailing list. If you cannot be bothered to reply to your customers, I certainly wont be using you again. Great customer service is what makes a company stand out so why would I recommend Sykes when you cant be bothered with your clients. Thank you. F Weekley
Victoria
When you arrive at your destination and its better than the pictures, then thats a winner to me! Cannot tell you how perfect my birthday weekend here was. What a setting. Thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing location, beautiful yurt with everything you need to have a complete break from everyday stresses. Lovely hosts, would highly recommend.
Stephanie
An amazing relaxing holiday with outstanding views. Loved this holiday so much, me and my partner will be going back again
