The details
The ultimate glamping retreat, this beautiful Turkoman-style yurt offers couples a romantic break in the charming Buckinghamshire countryside. Constructed using coppiced sweet chestnut poles for the trellis and walls, and marvellous local ash for the roof ribs, this handcrafted yurt harks back to an age gone by offering you and a loved one the chance to relax and unwind in peace.
The centre of the yurt features a clear covered wheel, offering you lovely views of the sky during the day and allowing you to stargaze at night. Cosy rugs and blankets keep you toasty and warm, along with the natural wool lining the yurt and the beautiful wood-burning fireplace.
When the weather’s warm, step outside into your private wild garden where you can relax and unwind in your hot tub, offering the perfect place to enjoy an indulgent soak. There’s also a hammock here, where you can unwind with a good book in the shade in peace. And, to top it off, there’s also a sauna on-site that you can book for sessions, adding to the luxurious feel of your stay.
Back inside the yurt, you’ve got a comfy sofa for indoor relaxing, and a king size bed that guarantees a delightful night’s sleep. Wake feeling refreshed and head to your luxurious shower room in a separate cabin with a fantastic walk-in shower where you can enjoy a wash with lovely woodland views. There’s also a composting loo for you to use during your stay.
The kitchen, again situated in a separate cabin, is filled with basic essentials, such as tea and coffee. When it comes to enjoying your meals, there are two dining tables, one inside the yurt and another outside offering a spot for alfresco dining.
Whilst the yurt is designed for two, offering a lovely destination for a romantic retreat, there is space for two additional guests, when pre-arranged, with the use of two additional futons.
The nearby village of Wendover, nestled in the stunning Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers a wealth of outdoor activities, as well as some lovely pubs, restaurants and cafes, and is only a five-minute walk from your door. Walkers can enjoy the Ridgeway National Trail, Coombe Hill and Wendover Woods, which provide breathtaking views and scenic trails.
Cyclists will love the Chilterns Cycleway, while history enthusiasts can visit the 11th century St Mary’s Church or the nearby Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden. The area also boasts charming pubs, independent shops and wildlife spotting opportunities, making it perfect for a countryside escape.

We had a great time here! Everything was clean and organised, the hot tub was awesome, the green areas around the property offered privacy. Parking for the car was a couple of steps from the accommodation! Communication with the host was easy and very good! Great retreat for relaxing! We really enjoyed it!

Karen and David have created a perfect paradise with the Kingfisher Yurt - it’s heavenly. It’s easy to find and well situated in a secluded glade, within Wendover village. We enjoyed the peace and the very comfortable accommodation; it has everything you could want. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped with BBQ tools as well, and the bathroom is pristine (better than our bathroom at home!). We really enjoyed the hot tub, which takes about 2-4 hours to heat up from the wood fire. There are lots of thoughtful touches, like fairy lights and eye masks provided (as the yurt has a big window at the top). We were very thankful for the shade provided from the incredible trees (especially during the heatwave!) as well as the chorus of songbirds and nearby church bells. Communication was excellent throughout (before and during our stay). We really enjoyed meeting David, who is a lovely character. We would stay again in a heartbeat - what a magical place!
