People have lived in Yurts for thousands of years. The design is warm enough to stand Siberian winters and strong enough to withstand a gale. They provide warmth in the winter and have sides that can be rolled up in the summer to allow a cool breeze on hot days. At night you can lie in bed and watch the stars through the open crown. They are roomy and the atmosphere inside is one of warm, secure solidity, while from outside the yurt radiates a welcoming glow.
Yurts are becoming a popular form of accommodation, especially in areas where a sensitive approach to the landscape and the environment is called for. Instead of building Lodges or Log cabins in these areas, planning authorities are increasingly favoring the Yurt as a viable form of development and they have the added advantage of being a lot less expensive to install and maintain.
I must admit, initially I thought my wife had finally flipped when she suggest a holiday in a Yurt in the Wye Valley. She hates camping - I love it. So it was with a jaundiced view that I initially approached the idea but to my surprise and relief I discovered that a Yurt could be a spacious and luxurious form of accommodation, with a double bed and soft furnishings. In the evenings, we could all gather in one of the Yurts and comfortably sit around a central stove and dine and drink together. This was nothing like camping, although it had all the advantages of that without any of the disadvantages, this was a very comfortable and spacious way to spend time in the outdoors without any discomfort.
Places that offer accommodation in a Yurt are now becoming more available and anyone who loves a very comfortable and luxurious form of sustainable accommodation in the countryside would do well to consider this type of holiday.
