New Yurts!

Last weekend Mark and I made our way to London to collect three new yurts freshly imported from Mongolia. It was so exciting to see the different colours of the doors and roof poles, and we can’t wait to get them up once we have some spring weather, and the planning application approved!

In case you are wondering, the colours are green, orange, and red to add to our existing blue yurt. Orange is the traditional colour that most of the Mongolian yurts would be painted, so we were keen to make sure we had a properly authentic orange one! red is seen as a holy colour, so it will be interesting to see what sort of vibe this yurt has. Apparently green has no real meaning, but does set off the elaborate hand painted patterns very well, being a darker colour. We also think the green will fit very well into the countryside setting.

Along with the yurts, we ordered some authentic Mongolian furniture to furnish the yurts with, and they look fantastic. We think they will really add some character, as well as providing some useful storage and seating :)

We’ve also updated our bookings page to reflect that we are not yet in a position to take bookings, but we’d still love you to fill in your details so we can let you know our launch date as soon as we know it! Plus, we’ll send you a money off voucher as a thank you!

So, if you haven’t already done so – go and fill out your details here and be one of the first to know when we launch.

Planning permission

Well we’ve made another big step toward getting up and running – the planning application was submitted last weekend to Taunton Deane! :)

Sadly, we did get a call to say it was currently invalid and they require further information – they’re going to let us know what that further information is over the next few days…..hoping its not too onerous.
