If you have a question about our yurts, you’re certainly not the first. If you can’t find the answer to your question below, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Check in/out
Check in is from 3.30pm-6pm at both sites.
Check out is by 10am at both sites.
Yes. A self service check in arrangement can be made for guests wanting to check in after 6pm. Please contact us prior to your arrival if you are wanting to check in after 6pm.
Amenities
Yes. Each guest is given a complimentary bath towel and hand towel. If you wish to use the hot tub, why not add an extra towel to your booking?
Yes. Each yurt is given a complimentary bag of logs. The logs are used to fuel the wood burning stove (inside the yurt) and the hot tub. Extra logs can be purchased on site for £8 per bag.
No, all your bedding is provided. Each yurt comes with freshly laundered sheets, pillows and duvets.
The double bed will be made up for your arrival but the futons will be folded away to allow for a pleasant seating area when you arrive. If you have booked for three or more guests the bedding will be found folded on top of the futons or bed.
If guests do not wish to share the double bed or double futon you can add additional laundry to your booking for an extra £10.
We have tried to provide everything you might need to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible, however there are a few things we recommend you bring to help enjoy your stay. These include:
- Torch
- Swimwear for the hot tub
- Extra towel for the hot tub (one towel per person is provided with the booking but you can add extras to your booking).
- Eye masks if you don’t want to be woken early by the natural sunlight.
In addition, we advise you bring suitable clothes, footwear, blanket, toiletries and food and drink.
Hot tubs
The burner can be fired up only when there is sufficient water in the tub to cover the burner chamber, which is below the flue outlet. There is a sign on the burner highlighting the water level. You can control the temperature by regulating the amount of wood added and air supplied (via the lid opening).
To light the fire:
- Chop a couple of logs into kindling using the chopping block and axe provided.
- Open the metal door of the burner and place two logs inside the center of the burner. Chop larger logs in half if needed
- Add a couple of fire lighter cubes on top of the logs and light the firelighters.
- Using the fire glove, place some kindling on top of the logs.
- Close the burner door and open the air vent using the black lever.
- After 15-20 minutes check the fire and add a couple of extra logs. Close the burner door after use.
- Keep checking on the fire periodically and add extra logs when needed.
- The hot tub should be ready to use in approximately 3 hours.

Each yurt at Eavestone Lake has its own private wood-burning hot tub.
Typically 3-4 hours, but it depends on the temperature of the water used to fill the tub and the outside weather conditions.
No. However we do offer a pre-light service for £20. We can’t guarantee the hot tub will be ready to jump straight into on arrival as it takes 3 hours to fully heat up and we need to empty, deep clean and re-fill the hot tub with water before we can light the fire, but if it’s not fully heated it will be well on it’s way. To book this service, please email info@yurtshire.co.uk
