What are the Check-in and Check-out times?
Check-in is between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. Early arrivals (1:30 PM) or late check-outs (Noon or 8:00 PM) can be arranged for a fee, subject to availability. Please contact us in advance to add this to your booking.
Where is Dukeries Retreat located?
We are located at Hill Crest Farm, Barnby Moor, DN22 8QS. Some Sat-Nav systems stop slightly short of our entrance; please look for our 4-Star Gold signage on the roadside.
Is there a security deposit?
We hold a £100 security deposit at the time of booking/check-in. This is released 1–2 days after check-out, provided there are no losses or damages to the property.
Are there extra charges for additional adults?
While our yurts sleep up to 5 or 6 guests, our base rate covers 2 adults. We charge an additional £15 per night for each extra adult. Please let us know your specific bed arrangements or if you require a travel cot/high chair before arrival.
What exactly is provided in the yurt?
We provide a “hotel-standard” setup: Super-king beds with linens, a fully equipped kitchen (sink, fridge/icebox, air-fryer, microwave, toaster, kettle), all cutlery/crockery, a private wet-room/bathroom, electricity, an electric heater, and a hairdryer.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring towels for the hot tub (unless you choose to hire them on-site), personal toiletries, food, and a torch or headtorch for navigating the site after dark.
Do we need to clean before we leave?
We ask that you leave the yurt as you found it. A quick sweep and surface wipe is sufficient. Please empty your rubbish bins (separating glass) and clear firepit/hot tub grates into the designated metal bins. A £25 cleaning fee applies to accommodation left in an unsatisfactory state.
Can I smoke or vape?
Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited inside the yurts and on the wooden decking. Evidence of smoking will result in the loss of your security deposit.
Will my bedding be changed during my stay?
To support our renewable agenda, we only change bedding or clean the yurt for stays of a week or longer, upon request.
How do the hot tubs work?
Our Deluxe Yurts feature traditional Scandinavian wood-fired tubs, while Superior Yurts feature Jacuzzi-style tubs. Your first bag of logs is included. Extra hot tub water or chemical changes are charged at £25.
Can we BBQ or use the Pizza Oven?
Each yurt has a firepit with a swing griddle for BBQing. We also have a communal wood-fired pizza oven at The Hub. Please place any disposable BBQs inside the firepit to protect the decking.
How do I get extra firewood?
Each yurt has its own storage unit with seasoned logs, kindling, and firelighters. We check the stock and charge for what you have used after your departure.
Is there a noise limit?
We ask for ‘Quiet Time’ from 9:00 PM. Music should be kept low before then and turned off entirely after 9:00 PM to respect other guests and our neighbours. (Note: These rules are flexible for exclusive full-site bookings).
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are allowed strictly in our designated dog-friendly accommodation only. No other pets are permitted on site.
Where is the nearest shop?
The village of Barnby Moor does not have a shop, but the market town of Retford is just 3 miles away. However, we have three fantastic restaurants within a 2-minute walk, and we are a licensed premises for alcohol.
What if something gets damaged?
Please check the provided inventory upon arrival. If anything is broken or damaged during your stay, notify us immediately so we can replace it. We reserve the right to charge the booking card for missing or damaged items.
