The only neighbours are likely to meet will be the owner’s alpacas or their neighbour's calves.

You can walk across the fields to the pub or stay home, BBQ and enjoy the hot tub.

Waterperry Gardens is just up the road which hosts events throughout the summer.

The space

The yurt is set in a secluded corner of the owner’s alpaca farm, away from their house and with views across the fields towards Brill.

The private facilities are right next to the yurt, meaning there is no need to get your shoes on to go in the hot tub or pop to the loo.

Inside, there is an extendable dining table, a small TV/DVD player and alpaca bedding, to ensure a good night's sleep.

If the evenings get nippy, light the fire pit or wood burning stove or jump into bed and switch on the heated sheet.

Other things to note

The yurt roof has a transparent centre, which allows you to look at the stars at night.

However, it does get light in the morning when the sun comes up.

The owners point out that the local cows can “make a bit of a racket” early in the morning.

But they do stress, it does make for a real "back to nature" stay.
