Houlet 'The Treehouse Yurt'

The stunning Houlet Yurt is a little different… it lives in the trees! From an elevated site in the canopy, you can enjoy an experience like no other.

This lofty accommodation offers an amazing experience for couples and families alike. All the same luxury and magic of the other yurts but in a really special location. Houlet Treehouse also has it’s own private stargazing platform – ideal for enjoying what the heavens have to offer!

Houlet has a ground level fire pit and seating area and a hammock which hangs in the shade of the yurt, perfect for afternoon snoozing and book reading or for children to play.

The yurt has its own kitchen area with a running cold water sink (water can be heated on the stove for washing). A bench area is also provided for using the gas camping stove provided – a great outdoor space for preparing and cooking food and for doing the dishes – all situated underneath the treehouse and sheltered from the elements! Houlet also has an outdoor bush shower and exclusive access to a composting loo across the path. You also have use of the shower block which is accessed across our rope bridge and only a short walk away.

Guests at Houlet are also welcome to use the kitchen hut on site which has further kitchen facilities such as fridges and points to charge mobile phones.

This yurt is suitable for up to 4 people with a maximum of two adults.

Field mice and field voles

Guests are reminded that Yurts are not solid buildings and that you are in wilderness where food and waste left lying will be be seen as an opportunity for a meal by enthusiastic field mice. Taking this into account we strongly suggest keeping food in a sealed container or the communal kitchens.

We have taken as many precautions as we can to dissuade the mice and field voles from seeking sanctuary and food inside the yurts but you must be aware that it’s impossible to completely stop them entering. You must book with this in mind and put all temptation out of harms way.

From time to time we put humane mousetraps in the yurts. If you find a mice in one of these silver boxes please bring them up in the sealed box to the main house where we will let it go some distance form the site.

Back to Yurts & Huts
An amazing experience, lovely homely decor and a cosy atmosphere. The interior is done to an exceptional standard and super comfortable. The view of the stars from the private crows nest was amazing - we will definitely be back.
