Testimonials

Real Feedback

I bought two 6-meter yurts from Yurt Specialists, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and service. The build is excellent – the wood they use is beautifully rounded and incredibly strong. One of the things that makes their yurts stand out is that they don’t require a central support post for the crown, which leaves the inside open and spacious – a big advantage compared to many other designs.

What impressed me most was their support during the installation. It was my first time setting up a yurt, and I had a lot of questions. Every time I called, they answered right away and guided me through everything with patience and care. That level of after-sale support is rare and truly appreciated.

I highly recommend Yurt Specialists to anyone looking for a high-quality yurt and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, even after the sale is done.

‘We brought two yurts for our nursery. Children loved it very much. Parents were thrilled with it. The music sections in the yurt had a fantastic effect.

The yurt was bright inside. We barely use any lighting inside the yurt. Thank you very much to both Jessie and Eliot!‘

Sophia Tanner

Head of a nursery

‘I have recently put the yurt up that I bought from Yurt Specialist. It is beautiful on both the inside and out. The head space is fantastic, my 6ft husband can easily stand in there with still plenty of head space. The people are very easy to deal with and could not have been more helpful. Thank you guys.‘

Charlie Adams

‘We bought a stunningly beautiful 4.2m yurt from Yurt Specialists and couldn’t be happier with it.
They were lovely to deal with, very helpful, and no doubt they will be happy to help with any issues we have down the line.
The yurt is absolutely gorgeous, extremely good quality and surprisingly easy to put up with 3 people. It’s completely hand-made, with great care and attention and is a beautiful space to spend time in.‘

Dan Stone

‘I purchased two yurts from Yurt Specialists 12 years ago. They are beautiful, sturdy, and very cozy. Recently we purchased an additional 6m diameter yurt. The quality was amazing. The experience from start to finish was fantastic. Eliot and Jessie were incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide us through every step – from choosing the right size and materials to delivery and installation.‘

Sally Beckensfield

Farm owner

‘We purchased a yurt from Yurt Specialists a few months back as an extended guest room.

The yurt itself is stunning – solid construction, gorgeous woodwork, and detailed instructions (last winter was chilly, but inside the yurt was warm and toasty).

Delivery was on time, and everything arrived in perfect condition.

I highly recommend Yurt Specialists if you’re looking for a well-built, brilliant yurt with a professional, supportive team behind it.‘

Jonathon Holt

‘I brought a 6m diameter yurt for our yoga retreat. The yurt was beautifully set and became more and more popular. Both Eliot and Jessie were very helpful in this process. We could not have asked more.‘

Maya Brooks

‘The yurt is amazing!’,   ‘I love being in here to listen to a story’,  ‘ It is really big!’  ‘It feels cosy’ ‘ ‘I love being in the yurt’.

How long will My yurt last?

Yurt Specialists’ yurt timber frame—if oiled—can last more than A few decades; with annual cleaning and reproofing, the outer canvas typically lasts more than 7 years at least. Some customers informed us that they never needed parts replacement for years.

Where should I place my yurt?

Avoid exposed, windy areas and overhanging trees, as they increase maintenance. Opt for a site with good airflow to prevent damp and help the yurt dry quickly. Ensure the yurt door is positioned away from any pavilion wind direction.

What kind of base should I build?

A raised circular timber base overlaid with planks (with 3 mm gaps) is ideal. A circular base sized to the yurt, with a 75 mm upstand, tucks under the canvas skirt, preventing water ingress.
