Yes….the yurts are well insulated so you can camp all year round in warmth and comfort. However in colder periods each yurt has a wood burning stove which heats the yurt in 20 minutes, the only time you may feel cold is when you wake up in the morning. Please note that the stove gets very hot. Children (and adults) will need to exercise caution when the wood burner is on. Please ask for a fire guard if you have small children.
The cabin and pod are provided with electric radiators.
