Our History

Hidden Valley Yurts was first opened in 2008 and successfully run for seven years by Amanda and Peter Copp. We took over from them in 2015. Since then we have started to put our own stamp on the glamping site and made several changes. We took down all of the yurts at the end of the 2015 season (a big task in itself!). We then had new covers designed – in olive green instead of white to blend into their natural surroundings even better – and carried out repair work to the deckings, furniture and yurts. We have repaired many of the paths and water courses including rechanneling part of the stream where a waterfall had washed away part of the path. A newly installed chicken run on the yurt site provides fresh eggs for all our guests (within reason). We have Burford Browns (large dark brown eggs), White Leghorns (large paper white eggs), Legbarrs (small pail blue eggs) and Copper Morans (large light brown eggs).

In 2017 we took on the task of renovating the old cricket pavilion which sat next to the small lake. Working throughout the winter in order for it to be available in 2018 we are delighted with how The Lake House turned out!

We hope you enjoy what you find at Hidden Valley Yurts and Lake House, whether you are a regular visitor or a first-timer. The ethos is the same, as is the beauty and peacefulness. We are here on hand if you need us, and we hope you have a wonderful holiday here.
