Our beautiful handmade yurt is set amongst an ancient orchard on an idyllic smallholding, nestled between the Kent Downs AONB and Kent's spectacular coastline. The smallholding itself is a slice of rural Kent with free-range chickens just a stone’s throw away, you’ll soon be making some fairly unique friends. We have such a great location, Canterbury is just 10 minutes drive away and the trendy coastal town of Whitstable can be reached within 20 minutes. Berty the yurty is 5 metres in diameter and comfortably sleeps 2 adults and an infant. Inside Berty you'll find a super comfy double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a cracking little wood burning stove, table and two chairs and a mini-fridge to keep those all important beverages ice cold. We'll make sure there are some essential local food items from the farm (bread, eggs, milk, butter) waiting for you when you arrive. Please note: We do offer a breakfast pack of local butchers sausages, bacon, eggs, homemade baked beans, locally baked sourdough bread, organic mushrooms and freshly squeezed orange juice for an added fee of £10 pp, please let me know upon booking that you would like this added on. Outside you an outdoor kitchen space to cook, outdoor patio eating area, camp fire, as well as a composting toilet, hot shower and washing up facilities adjacent to Berty, which are exclusively for your use. Berty is tucked away at the far end of the smallholding on the edge of a 20 acre accessible ancient woodland with bluebells flowering in the months of April & May. The small holding is home to free range chickens and other animals. Eggs are complimentary and we're more than happy to arrange for you to collect them yourself if you're in a 'hunter/gatherer' sort of mood as well as a loaf of bread, milk, butter and apple juice. Our rural location is truly fantastic! You'll instantly feel the stresses and strains of everyday life disappear as you soak up the delightful Kent countryside and adjacent ancient woodland. The picturesque Stour valley is just down the road, Canterbury and it's cathedral are only 10 mins away and Kent's extensive coastline can be reached in less than 20 mins. Some delightful pubs and restaurants can be found in Canterbury, and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to top quality country pubs in the local area.Berty the yurty (as our 2yr old son calls it), is 5 metres in diameter and comfortably sleeps 2 adults and an infant.

Great stay at Berty the Yurty!

We had an excellent stay at Berty the Yurty. As we stayed in Dec, even the wood burner was on for our arrival and Roy kindly met us to show us around. The facilities are impressive given the outdoor nature of the experience and it really is a chance to unwind and disconnect for a few days. The fresh eggs, sourdough, milk and apple juice were a lovely touch and Roy was very helpful when we needed the chopped wood topping up! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Loved our stay!

This was the most perfect place during our stay in the South of England. Lots of privacy, everything was full equipped and the host was very kind. It was to bad that we only stay here for two nights. You're own (compost) toilet, shower, outside kitchen and a perfect view. By night de lights make it a peaceful place to be! We recommend this place to everybody.

Excellent.

A lovely stay in the cosy Yurt. The hosts were very accommodating and a pleasure to speak to. In the height of winter we were toasty inside with the log burner and managed to cook food on it without any problem. Comfortable bed, it has everything you need. Highly recommended.

We had the most magical night away on the farm. The yurt is perfect - spacious but cosy, well equipped with thoughtful details. It felt remote despite being at the end of a chicken farm, with amazing views over the forest and great walks from the back of the yurt. We went in November and stayed toasty by the fire. It felt like a real adventure and we are already planning a return trip. Our hosts were flexible, welcoming and responsive. Thank you!

Brilliant Berty!

With pets

George (the new owner) was a welcoming host and very knowledgeable. Berty is well kitted out and we were so cosy all night. Free range eggs and fresh bread for breakfast. A perfect overnight stay!
