Yurts - Anybody "camped" in one?

We're playing at a festival in Langdale in May and, in a fit of not-wanting-to-take-the-huge-tent-along-all-our-instruments-and-gear-and-spend-an-hour-putting-it-up-when-we-could-be-joining-in-the-music-sesson I've just booked one of the yurts on the NT site.

Has anyone stayed in one of these anywhere? Are they worth the dosh? Am I mad?

Not personally, but we've heard great things about them. You're not mad, or a hippie. It's OK!

Do any Yurts accept dogs??

well we stayed in a tipi at 2000trees festival and some other people had a yurt - it looked fab. also a friend had one for his birthday bash here in the peak district which was great. there are some yurts erected up a little lane near hathersage....might still be there? we loved the tipi it was strange being able to stand up inside, we kept bending over thinking we were in a tent.

If anyone wants to try a yurt out, my friend has just started a business in Sheffield renting them out. Contact her at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yurtspace-yurtblurt/309968275708953

My sister in law had a great time at York Yurts with her other half back in December.

They can be catered (apparently they food is lovely) or there's a kitchen/cooking area as well as hot tub!

There are some great reviews on trip advisor too.

No I haven’t tried sleeping in a Yurt but would like to try it, but I do like sleeping in my own tents. Will probably try it in 2013 some time, let me know if you go and if you enjoy it.

There are quite a few on my website http://www.campingsitesinbritain.co.uk and we allow you to search by ‘Static Tents’ as there known on our website, but I definitely like the idea if its raining, no more putting the tent up when its chucking it down
