Occasionally each of us craves space and time away from it all – glamping in yurts is a wonderful way to feed that need. Glamorous camping may seem like a contradiction, but the reality of it combines our love of luxury with our deep yearning to be in the wild. Based on a farm in Great Oxendon, Country Bumpkin Yurts has introduced a new way to relax and enjoy the East Midlands countryside. With bridleways, great walking, cycling, leisure and eating out opportunities just a stones-throw away, we can’t wait to welcome you to your relaxing retreat.

Our idyllic farm setting is the perfect place to unwind and re-connect with nature and the people you love. Whilst staying with us, you will get to see the workings of a family-run farm – Waterloo Cottage Farm. You will meet the lively little piglets, the highland cows, and the cheeky lambs. You’ll also meet the two friendly farm dogs as you roam the site. Children especially love meeting the animals.

Our site comprises of three traditionally designed yurts, spacious and with full access to all the modern amenities. Each yurt is based on a wooden platform, with picturesque views of the farm and surrounding area. A log burner, shabby chic furnishings and cosy beds are in each tent so you can rest in comfort and style. With rustic-luxury shared bathrooms and a kitchen, you will have everything you need. Our wood burning hot tub makes it a glamping site for those looking for an extra special stay.

If you ever decide to leave your beautiful yurt, you will find plenty to do both on and off the farm. Whether you explore by foot, on two wheels or four, you will be enchanted by the area that we love. The East Midlands is your oyster.

Facilities:
Here at Country Bumpkin Yurts, we want you to feel that you have everything you need to have a relaxed and enjoyable stay. For this reason, you will never be short of hot water and our two bathrooms have double plug sockets to accommodate hair dryers and straighteners should the occasion call for them. Our eco-friendly composting toilets in each bathroom ensure that the environment is looked after too. They are simple to use – the main difference is that men must sit down – yes that’s right – sit down to take a wee!

Our Kitchen has all the modern appliances including a kettle, toaster, a 2-ring hob, a fridge and microwave. All pans, crockery and cutlery are supplied. Tea and coffee is also included in your stay.

Our wood-fired hot tub is the perfect spot to unwind and relax under the stars. Dependant on your arrival, we will prepare and light this for you ready for you to enjoy straight away. All logs for daily use are included in your stay and we will show you how to use it so you can continue to enjoy it throughout the duration of your visit.

For those warm summer months, each yurt has its own BBQ and tools. All you need to do is simply supply the coal.

For the colder months, your yurt has a log burner to keep you cosy throughout the night. Firewood is included in your stay.

Each yurt has its own solar-powered hub. This will light your yurt, has a solar powered fan and enables you to charge mobile phones and tablets via a USB cable.

Waterloo Cottage Farm shop is ideal to pick up those daily necessities and its right on our doorstep! Pop in for fresh bread, milk, BBQ meat, fresh vegetables and even a bottle of spirit, wine or craft beer to enjoy with dinner.
