About Fairy Bell Wood

The picturesque yurt sits in a quiet clearing within Fairy Bell Wood, four acres of native woodland and a large wildlife pond in Cumbria. This site is ideal for a couple looking to reconnect with nature and spend some quality time together. The handcrafted yurt sleeps two adults and includes a fully equipped kitchen and toasty wood burner. You'll also have a bespoke double bed built from the surrounding trees and the kitchen made from reclaimed palettes. Across the way is a bathroom with an eco-shower and compost toilet. Embrace the opportunity to slow down. Spend your time wandering through the glades, watching the dragonflies dance across the pond, relaxing in a hammock by the firepit, and enjoying sunset over the Fells with a glass of wine in hand. The site is just ten minutes from the M6 and Kendal, the local town. It's also a short drive to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, perfect for hikers. BBQs are permitted as long as they are on gravel, and a firepit is provided. Pets are not permitted.

A note from the site themselves...

My wife and I set up Cumfrey yurt because we wanted to share our passion for nature and the peace and tranquillity that we find in Fairy Bell Wood.

We love to wander through the bluebells or sit by the pond watching the dragonflies and the evenings are for sunset views and stargazing.

We wanted to offer accommodation that had minimal impact on the environment and surroundings but still provided a little luxury!
