Lakeview Yurt in Beckford near Tewkesbury | Must-See Gloucestershire Hot Tub Cottage

About Lakeview Yurt

Lakeview Yurt sits in Beckford, a peaceful spot where you can escape the daily grind. This isn't your average holiday pad - it's a circular canvas palace with incredible lake views and private fishing access. Got a rod? Catch some carp, roach or perch right outside your door. The hot tub has a radio so you can soak with tunes while watching wildlife do its thing. Fancy yourself as Captain Birdseye? There's even a rowing boat you can use (just don't blame us if you fall in).

The surrounding Cotswolds offer picture-perfect villages with honey-coloured stone houses. Take country walks straight from your doorstep or stroll to the local pub (just 8 minutes away - we timed it). Cheltenham's shops and racecourse are nearby for when you need a bit more action. National Trust properties dot the landscape if you fancy some posh house gawping.

Inside the yurt, underfloor heating keeps things toasty. The kitchen area has everything you need - combination microwave/grill, 2-ring induction hob, fridge and dishwasher. No TV here (thank goodness) but a projector with DVD player and roll-down screen for movie nights. The wooden veranda overlooks the lake and there's a private sauna for two when you're done with the hot tub.

Explore Cotswold villages (15 minutes) with their stone cottages and tearooms. Cheltenham (20 minutes) offers shopping, dining and the famous racecourse. Visit Broadway Tower (25 minutes) for amazing views across 16 counties. Sudeley Castle (30 minutes) lets you explore 1000 years of royal history and stunning gardens.

Lakeview Yurt is perfect for couples wanting to reconnect without distractions. One guest loved it so much they got engaged here! Bring your dog for lakeside walks, then end each day with a sunset soak in the hot tub. Check availability today.

Debbie

Fantastic stay thankyou just what was needed to distress and relax. We will visit again for peace and quiet

Very relaxing and welcoming. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be back. So many people have asked me for the link to this yurt to book themselves

Maureen

The holiday was really relaxing this is the 11th year we been going and back ... The holiday was really relaxing this is the 11th year we been going and back again in October would really recommend this for couples looking for peace and quiet and reconnecting

Audrey

We have been hoping to the yurt every year for 11 years now and each time it's as good as the last. My only concern this time is the weeds at the back of the yurt need keeping down , I photograph the wildlife and its makes it difficult to capture a decent picture. Apart from that perfect relaxing holiday. Sarah as helpful as always .

Ths is not an attack on the owners. The location and environment is lovely. The yurt itself is not up to standard. The door lock is rustycorroded, if you lock it at night expect to climb out the window to get out. The hot tub shows no signs of maintenance, the water seemed over usedmurky and the filters need cleaning, no signs of chlorine in the water is there evidence of it being maintained for holiday let use?, the sauna didnt heat up any more than 59 degrees recommendation is about 75 degrees, so we couldnt use sauna or hot tub. kettle is rustycorroded and a few Tupperware bowls would have been nice, as well as, instructions on how to use the convection oven and induction hob. We left after 24hrs of our stay. Too many issues!

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful setting. We took advantage of all the facilities available. Such a lovely secluded position. You wouldn't know there were other yurts on the site. We only knew when we took a boat ride around the lake. We had such an enjoyable visit. We highly recommend it and hope one day to visit again. Rick,Linda and Bono

Michael

We had a really great visit, the yurt is such a delightfully cozy nook. Its not really that far off the beaten path, but it still feels a bit hidden tucked away from every day life. The yurt was equipped with all the amenities and luxuries! needed for an extended stay. Were really looking forward to visiting again.

Emma-jane

We loved our stay at the lake yurt despite the rain, a little slice of heaven. There is so much wildlife nearby I wish we had brought our binoculars. We had a relaxing break away and would definitely come back. Cleanliness was good, but there were a lot of cobwebs inside the yurt.

I really loved being at the yurt. I liked the hot tub, the films on the projector. I liked watching the wildlife.

Kitchen equipment could be improved. Only one champagne flute, one pint and one half pint!! Two wine glasses was fine, but that was it. There was washing up liquid, and dishwasher tablets, but the dishwasher immediately said it needed salt and rinse aid, so we had to go buy that. Knives extremely blunt! Sauna not working effectively, takes a couple of hours to reach an acceptable temperature. Main thing was the cleanliness, the floor clearly had not been swept or mopped and the drawers and bedside table that pull out were terribly dusty and mouldy. The tapshower head over the bath leaks really badly all over the floor. Dont get me wrong, it is a beautiful and peaceful location, hot tub was great, I just think it is looking very tired, could do with a bit of tlc and better cleaning done.

Maureen

Been coming here now for 12 years we love it peace and quiet fishing relaxing. Animals and bird life fantastic. We think now it needs a bit updating and also rather than a dishwasher it could do with a small freezer as there are only 2 people and no need for a dish washer.

Yurt could do with some general TLC. Not all the windows open, indoor table and chairs would be nice instead of a breakfast bar. Toilet facilities are okay for No 1s but not for No 2s, blocked several times. Hot tub has definitely seen better days, and could do with replacing.

Perfect for privacy, very romantic getaway

Lovely place. Needs a bit of TLC . Will come back and stay again. Thank you for a lovely week.

Alan William

This is just heaven on earth. For peace and tranquility it is second to none ,and as for the wildlife, well, it's just amazing! So if you want to jump off the 9 to 5 grind, this is the place immerse yourself in the sound of the birds, watch the otter play, see the kites and buzzards above and all from your own, very private hotub. We will be back a.s.a.p.

Lovely secluded spot to get away from it all and relax! It could do with a little TLC but we still had a fantastic weekend in the lovely little hideaway! Will definitely go back.

Excellent place to stay fully secluded and private hot tub was great and fishing was great too the owners were very nice people and very helpful couldnt fault it will definitely be going back sometime in the near future

Rhiannon

Absolutely lovely set up and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have already looked at potential dates for next year to come back and recommended to a friend who is planning to book for March next year! Beautiful scenery and wildlife, with a real sense of being able to switch off from the outside world. We felt so relaxed and at peace, we didnt want to come home!

Natalie

We had the best time at Lake View Yurt. I couldnt recommend this place enough it is fantastic and completely faultless. Sitting in the hot tub to sitting up on the terrace watching the lake and out in the rowing boat to having a bbq next to the lake. It is so peaceful and the owners couldnt have done anything more. We will be back very soon! Thanks for an AMAZING stay!

Another wonderful holiday at these comfortable yurts. We have been about 12 times and hate leaving. First time we took our dog Ginger and she loved all the wildlife and the farm terrain. We saw 6 deer, herrons, geese, 19 goslings in one family, barn owl, ducks, black swans and a sygnet, cormorant, squirrels, pheasants and king fisher but no Partridge in a pear tree!! Can't wait until we return, very restful, relaxing and of course we drank and ate well.

Jeanette

Third time we have stayed love the place

Christine

We were not keen on the toilet being in such a small cupboard with no hot water or even a towel rail, we had to wash in the kitchen sink, and it was quite a long walk in the dark to the village, fortunately we had a torch. Nice friendly pub, the Beckford Inn, with good food.

What an idyllic little getaway. So peaceful and picturesque. The hot tub was perfect for an evening under the stars and the wildlife was amazing. Highly recommended for those that want to get away and relax. Used own boat although one available if you wanted to explore the lake and even spent some time fishing. Will definitely be booking to visit again.

Muriel

We arrived on Sunday the 1st August we met by the owner, who showed us to the yurt we had a brilliant stay the hot tub was amazing the view and the ducks was lovely sauna was OK shame we had to clean out the boat and the electric motor didn't work which we was told it worked as for the place its self I think it could have been more updated in the kitchen. we had lovely fluffy towels and robes I didn't realise there was so many spiders in there lucky my partner didn't tell me I would have freak out, overall we enjoyed our stay would love to go back soon

An amazing place to stay! Peace and tranquillity! Great hosts! Nothing is too much trouble but you only see them if needed! Apart from that you dont see another soul unless one of the other guests take a trip out on the lake in their boat. Its just you and the amazing scenery and wildlife. Already booked for next year our 4th year and cannot wait!

This place is truly amazing. We were shown around by Dave who was very helpful & friendly.yurt was clean and had everything you needed the towels and dressing gowns were lovely and fluffy and a lovely touch.bed was very comfy and huge..loved the hot tub & sauna which we used everyday. Used the BBQ and chimnea every day whilst over looking the lake with spectacular views.the ducks were very friendly and would feed from our hands which was fab..my heart hubby enjoyed fishing and caught quite a few fish..we want to the the star in a couple of times for food which was really nice and just a 5 me mute drive and we had some lovely walks . just everything about our stay was unreal it was secluded and peaceful and we couldn't of wished for anywhere better to spend our anniversary and will definitely be booking to come back

A fantastic place to get away from it all and relax.

Amanda

The yurt and location are lovely. Just a shame that the cleanliness lets it down. Make sure you clean everything when you arrive

The best part about the yurt was the hot tub & amazing views of the lake very relaxing. The yurt was stocked with nearly everything you need and bed was clean & fresh. Bath towels and robes were a great extra. However, the cleanliness of the yurt was not quite up to standard. When we arrived, there was lots of cobwebs and spiders especially in the bathroom. The toilet itself was clean but the bathroom was very grimy, the cupboard even had dead wood lice inside. The pipe above the toilet leaked rain through the ceiling and unfortunately these things really let the yurt down. The yurt also allowed for lots of creepy crawlies to enter including slugs, which we believe was due to the gap between the yurt wall and skirting by the bed and bath. The bath was lovely but was dirty when we arrived. As well as this, we never used the sauna outside due to the cobwebs covering both the inside & out which was a bit of a let down. Overall, the yurt needs a deep clean and ultimately the lack of cleanliness was what has let it down for us.

Its actually undersold on the website. Underfloor heating excellent! Hot tub excellent. The most perfect setting, right on the lake. Total peace and quiet in the most beautiful setting. Comfy bed and every facility you could ask for. Very well done. Will 100 be returning soon!

William

We enjoyed everything about the holiday , the location the yurt was in ,it was so private and we saw lots of wildlife deer poll cats geese swans it was amazing. the hot tub and sauna where a plus and the finishing touches in the yurt robes and towels . We have never stayed in a yurt before and we will definitely be going again this holiday was amazing.. Cant wait to go back.

Claire

We havent had a weekend away child free in 12 years and we were looking forward to this weekend immensely! It didnt disappoint at all! Beautifully peaceful surroundings, glorious weather, great food cooked on the BBQ and pure relaxation! Everything was as it should be, the owners were incredibly lovely and accommodating. We spent some time on the lake in the boat surrounded by inquisitive geese and black swans! We made friends with a gorgeous pink footed goose whom we named Pete! He would come right to us and ask for food! Not aggressive at all but very chatty and personable with us. We saw a gorgeous black deer in the nearby field and heard the owls at night! The projector screen and abundance of movies was a lovely touch. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor furniture was well used this weekend. The hot tub although glorious was a little too hot to use with outdoor temps of 31! But when we used it we were incredibly relaxed and enjoyed it immensely. Overall an amazing weekend and just what we needed. We would love to come back again for sure. Thank you Sykes and thank you to the owners for sharing this beautiful setting.

We had the best time , it was a very relaxing break and We did not want to leave ! Even the little bit of rain we had couldnt spoil it , highly recommend!

Will be recommending this fabulous, relaxing, peaceful yurt to all our friends and family.
