    Don’t mind the compost toilet but it would be great if there was a bit more ventilation! Would be lovely for there to be an outdoor shower in the yurt area and the facilities are a long way away and it would just add a really special touch.

    Location, beds, kitchen area, general feel of the yurt and decking area all wonderful. The solar charging was so useful.

    Showers could have been hotter and a bit more powerful. There should be a sign on the gates to the yurts stating that the toilet is for the use of yurt customers only, we went out a number of times and shut the gate, only to find that when we returned it was open and the toilet had been used and left dirty.

    Little things included in the price were good, for example the coins for the showers etc.

    Really comfortable stay, bed very comfy and the facilities were a very good standard around the yurt, cooker worked well and had everything I needed. Daily air show was really good entertainment as well! One thing I would do next time is take a deck chair to enjoy the view from the decking!! Great week thanks very much.

    The Syke Farm campsite is totally fabulous and the yurts are one of my favourite places to stay ever! Most peaceful location you could imagine, super close to the mountains and lakes, very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Will, who runs the place is also exceptionally helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Can’t wait until my next visit!

    Nothing. Loved it.

    The yurt was so cosy and well kept. Lots of thought had been put into it. The facilities were great with running water in an outside kitchen area so you could clean up. There was even a hob for cooking on if you didn’t want to have a BBQ. There is a compost toilet if you wish to use it however the toilet block isn’t far away. Great pubs and restaurants close by too.

    Disappointed with the cooler situation for food. It says on the website that there is a large cooler that just needed ice / ice packs. We took ice and ice packs that where still solid when we arrived and placed them inside the cooler; however by the following day, everything was warm, ice was completely melted and some food had to be thrown away. We stayed for 3 nights (2 full days), we wouldn't be able to stay for longer without going to the local pub / cafe. It has been particularly warm recently but i do think this is something that should be addressed as this effected the stay quite a bit.

    I cannot express enough how beautiful the location is, with amazing views and stunning local walks. Situated in the perfect place! The yurt was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. The addition of the boardgame Scrabble was a nice touch. We visited the local pub and cafe - food was delicious! The wildlife in the area is amazing!!
