4. 'Crab Shack' luxury yurt with harbour and sea views in Emsworth (from USD 138)

Location, as they say, is king. And, in the case of this highly-rated yurt rental near Hampshire, that is certainly the case. Set on a wooded peninsula in a marina on the south coast, it is perfectly placed for the charms of the sea and beautiful landscapes - with the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding National Beauty and the South Downs National Park both within easy reach. What’s more, this yurt’s Emsworth setting also places it close to the city of Portsmouth, so you won’t have far to go for a little hustle and bustle too. Transport links are good, too, with the nearby railway station offering direct trains to London and Portsmouth.

The yurt, which can sleep up to five, scored top marks for its location and cleanliness among past guests. Its waterside setting does mean, however, that families with young children should beware potential dangers.

10. Oak in Haslemere (from USD 138)

Although most of the yurts on this list are within Hampshire, there are a number of great options straddling the border with West Sussex. They offer the same great proximity to the South Downs National Park, as well as the coast, and are also within easy reach of such cities as Portsmouth. This very popular yurt is one such example - located deep in the heart of the national park and actually built using wood from nearby woods.

The property itself is perfect for couples and comes with access to a pod containing a fully-functional toilet and hot water shower - for those little home comforts. The yurt also boasts a small dining table area and has access to a deck with fully-equipped camp kitchen. Those who prefer to save the cooking for someone else can even order a dinner ‘room service’, so long as you provide 24 hours notice.
