Located in Callington, Cornwall, this unique accommodation offers a distinctive experience in a traditional Kazakhstan-style yurt, providing a cozy retreat for up to six guests. The yurt, measuring 20 feet in diameter and covering just over 300 square feet, features a king-size bed with a memory foam mattress and two fold-away sofa beds. This off-grid property is situated 750 feet above sea level on the northern side of Kit Hill, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), offering stunning views over the Tamar Valley and immediate access to miles of scenic walking trails.
The yurt is designed to blend comfort with rustic charm, featuring a log burner that ensures warmth during colder weather, creating a cozy atmosphere inside. The interior includes a kitchen area equipped with a two-ring camping stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, and all necessary crockery and utensils. Guests can enjoy meals at a table and chairs for four, and there is a small library of books for leisurely reading. Additionally, the property boasts modern amenities such as a compost loo and a bathhouse that includes a shower, sink, and a luxurious corner bath with breathtaking views, all contributing to a unique off-grid luxury experience.
Constructed by Tim Hutton of Yurt Works, the yurt features steam-bent roof spars, allowing for more headroom compared to traditional Mongolian yurts, which typically have a flatter roof pitch. This thoughtful design enhances the overall comfort of the space. The location is ideal for those seeking tranquility, situated away from the hustle and bustle yet easily accessible by road. For added convenience, transportation from the local station, just 15 minutes away by car, can be arranged, making it a hassle-free getaway.
Guests can explore the beauty of the surrounding area, with attractions such as the Eden Project located less than an hour away. The property is well-positioned for day trips to popular destinations, including Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, and the stunning North and South Cornish beaches. For those interested in outdoor activities, the region offers opportunities for hiking, cycling, scuba diving, and windsurfing, ensuring a memorable stay filled with adventure and relaxation in this serene rural setting.
