About Us
Barefoot & Bower is the West’s most romantic getaway. This intimate woodland escape is set deep in ancient woodland, hidden at the foothills of May Hill.
With a luscious king size bed in each Yurt, you can sink into the irresistible cosiness of your beautifully designed stay. Enjoy cooking meals in your woodland kitchen or BBQing over open flames. Take a dip, go for a row or try out a paddle board in the spring fed lake, then relax in a steamy shower, ready to cuddle up once again in the toasty Yurt... All of this underneath the ancient forest canopy and surrounded by nature.
Barefoot & Bower delivers a luxury Hotel experience while being immersed deep in the wilderness. An ideal setting for romantic retreats, birthday celebrations, reconnecting with old friends or even peaceful solo missions. You will go home recharged and restored.
Each Yurt/Shepherds Hut is equipped with a king size bed, a wood burner, firewood, towels, robes and power for charging phones and laptops.
There is an eco-friendly toilet behind each Yurt and a hot forest shower overlooking the lake attached to each kitchen.
The kitchen has all the necessary equipment for cooking great meals as well as a sink and fridge. For the wild cooking experts there are tripod BBQs with each Yurt so you can cook in the flames. All you need to bring is what you wish to eat and drink.
For the adventurer there is much to do in the area, we recommend the scenic walk up Mayhill, rounded off by a visit to the brilliant local country pub, The Glasshouse, or visit one of the many recommended destinations on our website.
The site is eco-friendly, designed to fit into the environment rather than disrupt it. Keeping the other woodland inhabitants in mind, we urge you to be mindful of litter and to use the shower and cleaning products provided - they are all eco-friendly. Our lighting and power use is set low for our nocturnal friends, helping us to generate at least half of our power from solar panels.
“The host Mark was very helpful - it was my partners birthday and I was able to organise some decorations and gifts for our yurt with him. These photos don’t do justice to the absolute bliss this place is. I cannot find the words to describe how breathtaking the location, the yurt and the lake all are! I would gladly come back again and again. Nothing could prepare me for how much we enjoyed our stay. The bed was so comfortable- I have fibromyalgia and I can honestly say I had a better nights sleep than I do at home. The outdoor kitchen was well equipped and the local pub had an amazing menu. Drinking my morning coffee with the bird’s singing was so beautiful. I could go on and on. I would definitely recommend a visit there because when I say it’s a little slice of heaven - I truly mean it.”
