ECOVER
"We visited Surrey Hill Yurts for a corporate overnight stay and LOVED IT. Joanna and her partner couldn't have been more helpful and really looked after us! They were the perfect hosts. We loved everything – the yurts, the space, being out in the countryside, we had sausages off the farm, enjoyed the dog wandering around, the goats and piglets…..The team had a fantastic time and we will definitely be going again. We cannot recommend Surrey Hill Yurts enough! These guys for sure go above and beyond to make sure your guests are looked after. Thank you!!!
ITSU GROCERY
Amazing venue for a work summer party! "We had a work away day/night here for our summer party and it was so much fun. Joanna is an incredible lady and helped us to organise everything from a corporate team building afternoon, full of challenging activities run by ex-Army officials to a wonderful Paella cooked by the open log fire to breakfast the following morning and Tag Archery to finish off. The facilities were perfect and Joanna made sure we had everything we needed. The Yurts are absolutely beautiful and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Would definitely recommend it for a work team building activity or a weekend away, the location and venue are stunning, just make sure you pack a torch and some warm clothes! Thank you so much!

ESCENTIA LTD
I would love to thank Joanna and Surrey Yurts for hosting two recent business meetings for our clients . The attention to details was incredible and the events from start to finish went perfectly. The ambiance , food, fire and extra entertainment made two special evenings that people have said they will remember for life. It also allowed me and my company to facilitate some incredible moments that lead to senior leadership stories being shared, that enabled teams to get to know each other at a much deeper level …. we will be back.
