A TIPI OR YURT HOLIDAY IN A WONDERFUL LOCATION

TipiA TIPI, YURT OR ALACHIGH HOLIDAY IN A WONDERFUL LOCATION. What better way of getting in touch with Mother Nature than being surrounded by her night and day. Spend your evenings sitting next to a glowing log fire, looking at an endless sky of stars – there are literally thousands on a clear night – and waking to the sound of bird song, with spectacular views of the Welsh countryside. Larkhill is a family home and an organic smallholding of 20 acres in Carmarthenshire, west Wales. We offer luxury, eco-friendly camping in the form of two yurts, two tipis and an alachigh, a structure used by nomads in northern Iran. Both of the yurts are located amongst four acres of woodland with meandering pathways, numerous wood carvings, benches where you can while away the hours and a quartz stone circle. The tipis are on the edge of the woodland in their own landscaped terraced area surrounded by a wild flower meadow, whilst the alachigh has its own elevated location with stunning views.  A laburnum avenue, which is spectacular when it flowers in June, leads into a seven ringed labyrinth with a totem pole at the centre and quite central to the tipis, yurts and alachigh is a well equipped log cabin which is available for everyone’s use. The land ranges from peat bog and pastureland to woodland and has a large variety of wildlife. Over 60 bird species been seen here making it ideal for bird watching. We have rare breed Boreray sheep (just 300 breeding ewes in the UK) a variety of ducks, chickens, turkeys and a solitary guinea fowl, all of whom roam freely around the land.  Bee Keeping has also become a passion and we currently have five hives - with bee keeping and falconry courses available in the area. Anybody who fancies a break from the norm, young or old, experienced tipi or yurt dwellers, or those who are just looking for a completely different experience, are very welcome. This is a quiet location, well away from busy roads, so if you’re looking for a child-friendly, relaxed and sustainable alternative holiday, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, then you need look no further – a tipi, yurt or alachigh holiday in a beautiful location.
