🛠️ Inspired by Cranfield? Create Your Own Yurt Retreat
Experiences like Cranfield Retreat & Glamping perfectly illustrate why traditional Mongolian yurts have become one of the most loved forms of glamping accommodation in the UK. Their success lies in a simple balance: authentic structure, excellent insulation, natural materials, and thoughtful design.
At Yurt Specialists, we work closely with retreat owners, landowners, glamping businesses and private customers to help them create yurts that deliver this same level of comfort, atmosphere and reliability — whether for:
- Boutique glamping and retreat businesses
- Well-being venues and yoga / meditation spaces
- Private garden yurts for guests, studios or family use
- Eco-tourism and off-grid accommodation
Our handcrafted Mongolian yurts are made using traditional techniques, with:
- Solid lattice walls and roof poles
- Thick mixed sheep-wool felt insulation suitable for year-round UK use
- Durable poly-canvas
- Compatibility with wood-burning or multi-fuel stoves
- Optional upgrades for off-grid living
Just like the yurt we make for Cranfield, all our yurts are designed to be warm, welcoming and commercially viable, while still retaining the magic that makes guests fall in love with the experience.
🌱 From One Yurt to a Thriving Retreat
Many successful retreats start with a single yurt. Cranfield Retreat is a wonderful example of how a thoughtfully placed yurt can grow into something much bigger — a space for connection, healing and memorable stays.
If you’re dreaming of:
- Adding a yurt to an existing campsite or retreat
- Starting a small glamping business
- Creating a peaceful space on your own land
We’re always happy to share honest advice on yurt sizes, layouts, insulation choices, realistic costs, planning considerations and year-round use — based on real UK conditions and years of hands-on experience.
