Bodmin Moor, Cornwall
Think camping is just small tents and beans on a barbecue? Then think again. Based on the edge of Bodmin Moor, these Luxury Cornish Yurts are in the heart of the Cornish countyside. The spacious yurts can sleep up to four comfortably and the structures are made from sustainable greenwood.
Try to imagine being snugly tucked up in a king sized bed with the light from the flames of the woodburner dancing on canvas of the yurt. Stargaze through the transparent roof dome of the yurt at the Cornish skies. Magical is the only word to describe it.
Additionally, there is a separate fully fitted kitchen area within the Cow Shed with it's own hob, fridge, sink and food preparation area. The Cow Shed Kitchen also has comfy leather sofas and plenty of books, toys and games to keep the whole family entertained throughout the day
