Wild in Style Glamping

Ambleside, Cumbria, England

Cosy woodland yurt glamping right next to Lake Windermere
Banking’s loss is definitely camping’s gain. When Alex was made redundant from his IT job in the finance sector, he moved his family to the north west to set up a luxury yurt holiday site, Wild in Style, at Low Wray. Four rather luxurious, cosy yurts, two of which have an extra sleeping area attached, come complete with comfy bed/settees, wood-burning stove and even a dining table and chairs. Bedding, cooking facilities, crockery and cutlery are all provided and there is a firepit or barbecue area with seating outside each yurt too. So, all you need to bring is ‘a sense of adventure and a pocket full of fun’ – and perhaps some waterproofs, walking boots and a kit bag for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Scattered among the woods at Low Wray – along with two gypsy caravans if Mum and Dad fancy a stay here someday without the kids in tow – the yurts are a short walk up the hill from the lake’s shore and make for a wonderfully hassle-free, back-to-nature family holiday. Although the main campsite is large, with some 120 pitches, it manages to retain a wonderful air of tranquillity. Adults will appreciate the opportunity to watch the sun rise over the lake, gaze at the stars through the yurt’s central crown, and wander through the site to marvel at the views over the fells. For the kids, waking up in the yurt surrounded by woodland and having acres of lake, forest and fields to explore on this lovely Lake District campsite spells ‘joy’ with a capital ‘J’.

From the host
Well very excited about the Berber Tent and Geodome we now have for 2013.. they are both very interesting structures that offer a unique twist on space. They offer an experience that is really quite different - from the ancient Berber Tent, with its Moroccan roots to the modern design of the Geodome with its iconic styling..
Nearby attractions

Walk up the hill to Wray Castle and down to the lake to hop on a Windermere Lake Cruise to see Bowness, Ambleside and the Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockhole (01539 446601). It has an soft indoor play area and an outdoor adventure playground with rope walks, slides, zip wires and scramble nets, and you can hire a kayak for £10 an hour. A walkers’ ticket allows you to take a break at any of the stops and catch a later boat.

Food and drink

The Outgate Inn (01539 436413) is about a 45-minute walk from the site and offers good food made with local produce. Try Zeffirellis (01539 433845) or Fellinis (01539 432487) in Ambleside, where you can have a 2-course movie deal or a pizza-and-film deal; children’s portions available.
