    “Ive come here now for over 4 years.”

    But sadly this was the worst stay so far. The yurt was so dirty. The floor was full of dirt. The bathtub had a ring of dirt with clogged hair. We basically stripped the bed and brought new bedding as there was blood and mood on the bedding. The hot tub was 28c and was to high in chlorine to even get in. We're the hot tub is now you genuinely have to climb in and out. The tree to the right blocks 80% of the sun. There was that much cobwebs and the yurt was that unclean my misses went home ...

We're the hot tub is now you genuinely have to climb in and out. The tree to the right blocks 80% of the sun. There was that much cobwebs and the yurt was that unclean my misses went home. Fishing is now impossible as there are to many snags. Weed is around 6ft tall so its impossible now to fish. They have otters so I doubt there will be any fish next year. Who ever looks after the yurts and lakes needs replacing asap as its got worse over the last 2 years. Im actually gutted to write this review if truth was told as this was and kinda still is my favourite place but like I said its now dated and grim and un fishable. And check in is at 16 30 and check out is 9.30? Sorry but that is so so bad. You basically miss 14 hours of your holiday. That's more then a day!! Its not hard to clean and make it more appealing. Jet wash and paint and rake the lake. Its not hard! Ill even do it for you guys for a small drink. Small effort and you would see a massive difference!

The property

The Lakeside Yurt is a stylish 16‑foot circular yurt, tucked away on the edge of the charming village of Beckford, close to the Gloucestershire and Worcestershire border within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Created as a distinctive Gloucestershire escape for couples, this pet‑friendly retreat enjoys a peaceful setting beside the owner’s fishing lake and features an open‑plan design alongside a luxurious roll‑top bath.

Pull up and park, pause as the calm countryside atmosphere settles in, then step inside to discover a carefully considered studio‑style interior designed for easy living.

Set your bags down, slip off your shoes, and settle straight into holiday mode as the kitchen lends itself to slow mornings and relaxed meals, whether warming something simple or cooking from scratch, with a dishwasher making clearing up effortless.

Sit down together at the dining table and take your time over food and conversation before moving across to the seating area where the gas coal‑effect fire flickers gently and the radio provides soft background sound, with no television to distract from proper switch‑off.

When the day draws to a close, run a deep bath in the roll‑top tub, soak in the warmth, and then turn in for the night in the comfortable double bed, with the hushed lakeside setting enhancing the sense of escape.

A separate external WC adds convenience without disturbing the flow of the main living space.

Outside, the wooden veranda is furnished for easy mornings and long evenings, while the Kamado barbecue, chiminea, and fire pit invite outdoor dining and relaxed fireside drinks.

The private hot tub sits close by, ready for long soaks beside the water, and guests can also enjoy access to the owner’s field, gentle walks, on‑site fishing, and use of the rowing boat at their own pace, with a well‑behaved dog welcome to join you.

Slow things right down and escape to The Lakeside Yurt.

This collection offers private hot tubs, saunas, firepits, and thoughtfully designed open?plan living, making it a lovely base for couples seeking a slower?paced escape in a peaceful rural setting. The surroundings enjoy gently rolling countryside and calm waters, where days can be spent fishing by the lake, taking out a rowing boat, or simply unwinding beside the water, soaking in the ambience.

Treat yourselves to a relaxed meal at The Beckford Inn, a welcoming country pub known for hearty seasonal dishes and a laid?back atmosphere, or venture a little further to Shukur’s at The Queen’s Head in Sedgeberrow, offering refined, award?winning cuisine in an intimate village setting perfect for a special evening.

Make the most of your location by exploring the wider landscape, starting with the Cotswolds itself, where scenic drives, honey?coloured stone villages, and peaceful walking routes shape leisurely days out. From here, wander through the garden rooms of Hidcote Manor Garden, enjoying carefully framed outdoor spaces, seasonal planting, and quiet pathways designed for slow, side?by?side strolling. Continue the sense of elevation at Broadway Tower, where far?reaching views, woodland walks, and open hilltop surroundings create a dramatic yet tranquil setting. For a final change of pace, uncover the historic collections of Snowshill Manor, combining hillside gardens, eclectic interiors, and views across the surrounding countryside for a visit that feels both curious and unhurried.

Slow things right down and enjoy time well spent at Beckford Lakeside Yurts, tucked away within the countryside.
