What lush, open and peaceful settings greet you at Stock Gaylard Estate, a compact, traditional county estate with an array of traditional handmade yurts tucked away on a quiet part of the estate. The site rests amid an estimated 300-acres of sprawling oak woodland, 80-acres of common land, and further 80-acres of lush deer park with a small, shimmering lake winding through the grounds. With such pristine and peaceful surroundings, it’s no wonder that many guests opt to return for a chance to unplug from the hectic pace of modern life. The unspoilt environs soothe the mind and melt away the stress and schedules of everyday life, pairing wonderfully with the self-catering glamping options on offer. The owners are keen to preserve the environment, taking steps to ensure the landscape remains unchanged throughout the years. There are traditional yurts on a stand on wooden platforms, providing no permanent damage to the landscape. The dark green canvases blend perfectly with the surroundings and offer guests a stylish way to savour the great outdoors without sacrificing the comforts of home. Each unit is lovingly handcrafted and furnished with mod cons like solar-powered hot water, plus indoor and outdoor lighting. Dogs are most welcome.
