Additional yurt conditions
We want you to feel relaxed and enjoy your stay in a yurt at Botelet however due to the nature of the structure's fabric (wood and canvas), in use with a wood-burner and in a remote location, there is a higher risk of fire. We require you to observe the following rules.
1. To be responsible and especially alert to the risk of fire inside and out. For your own and the yurt's safety, someone must be present at all times when the fire is open and whilst cooking. You are requested please not to smoke or burn candles inside the yurts.
2. Though a fire extinguisher, fire blanket and list of emergency numbers is provided, fire insurance is not available for this type of structure. You agree that you will be liable for damages to the yurt and contents due to negligence by you or your party where essential safety guidelines have not been followed.
3. Sheep and cows graze the fields, therefore please understand the importance of latching gates behind you. Dogs are not permitted.
