Overview
The three Trossachs yurts are a fusion of Kyrgyk design and local materials which create a homely, earthy feel. Thick rugs, felt wall-hangings and wood-burning stoves add touches of comfort to the traditional Kyrgyzstani dwellings. Ben Ledi and Ben Lomond yurts share the woodland just a little way on from Stuc a’Chroin yurt and the two together make a great family camp.
In each yurt there is a double bed and a double futon, plus a single sleepover mat which can be added for an extra child so they can sleep a family of five. From the boardwalk leading to the well equipped communal kitchen, there are impressive views across Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve, from which West Moss-Side Organic Farm, the home of Trossachs Yurts, takes its name.
There are arts and crafts courses aplenty at The West Moss-side Centre (a renovated 19th century steading and art gallery) including willow weaving, rushwork, felt crafting, and batik dye work. You can request a special treatment, a yoga course or even an accompanied wild swim! Beef from the cattle that graze on the moss, and both home-made bread and very local, seasonal produce from the organic kitchen garden are available for guests to buy. With all this plus the beauty of the lochs and the mountains of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park to explore, you won't be short of ways to make your stay memorable. Don’t forget that you are just one hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh and close to Stirling too.

The West Moss-side Centre is a renovated 19th century steading and is an art gallery. Here there are exhibitions throughout the year but June 5th – 14th is the annual special exhibition and 2015 the theme is ‘Wild’. Spring and autumn especially there are arts and crafts courses aplenty including willow weaving, rushwork, felt crafting, and batik dye work.

Courses & classes
An introduction to the basic techniques for batik with Libby Yule, an artist and textile designer who is inspired by the natural world and particularly the landscape and flowers of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
Japanese Block Printing 12th/13th May
This is a new and exciting workshop for West Moss-side. Elspeth Lamb works with woodcuts of the Japanese Ukiyo-e tradition. These are absolutely stunning but quite different from European woodcuts. This is because of the ink (watercolour paint) which is used. This will be a true Japanese experience using the traditional knives and of course special fine Japanese kozo papers.
Willow Garden Pigs 2nd / 3rd June
This two-day weekend workshop will focus on making a fine willow pig. The techniques involved will major on random weave and three dimensional structures although the detail of the nose and ears (!) will have you using other weaving techniques.
Forth Valley Open Studios at West Moss-side Centre. Not to be missed – exhibition of work by Darren Rees, Graham Tristram and Charmian Pollok
Small Frame egg basket –Sat 15th September
This one day workshop will introduce you to the technique of frame basket work. Using mainly willow with the opportunity of incorporating some hedgerow material you will learn how to construct the ribs of the frame, weave between the ribs to create the basket and put on a little handle.
This two-day workshop will introduce you to basic skills for small-scale sculpting with willow. At the end of the weekend you should have acquired the techniques to make your own sculptures. The session will centre around each participant constructing their own willow chicken or goose. The weekend celebrates the return of the pink footed geese from the Arctic Circle, back to West Moss-side for the winter.
Scottish Birch Bark Craft – Sat 8th December
Weaving with the bark is like working with soft leather, the roots are strong, white, long and slender and the twigs give structure to the objects. The Birch tree provided all that was needed for life and work in Northern Scandinavia - baskets, buckets, containers, shoes, mats and so on and so on. Bryce uses many of the designs and techniques in his work and he has a fund of knowledge about the tree and its uses which he will share. . Come for the day – Sorry Yurts will be packed away! Lessons learnt from 2011.
During the day Kate will introduce you to the techniques of weaving, braiding and plaiting to make unusual pieces. This is a day which combines techniques from a variety of crafts and materials (New Zealand flax, river rush, birch craft, straw, and willow craft) but using soft rush, fine willow and some moss collected from Flanders Moss and the farm. There will be a festive farmhouse lunch. Come for the day – sorry Yurts will be packed away! Lessons learnt from 2011.

Meet your hosts
In a secluded corner of Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve and at the gateway to Loch Lomond is West Moss-side, an organic farm that has been under the ownership of Kate Sankey for almost 20 years. In the last four years she has been opening up this hidden idyl to a select few. Kate is keen to share the cultural heritage of the site which she has given her own modern style. Trossachs Yurts fits perfectly with this ethos. Built using the finest elm, ash and oak in a 1000 year old design, the luxury yurts also provide all the comforts needed to be homely in modern Scotland.
West Moss-side started life as a mixed organic farm, which is being transformed into a venue for experiences. The 19th Century farm steading is now a centre for activities of all kinds, attracting the very best educators, tutors and adventurers to share their knowledge. The farm retains its eco-credentials in a number of innovative ways and is home to a rare breed of native Shetland cattle that are vital for the conservation of the mossy environment and not just for show.
In the Centre there is an exhibition of paintings including work by Darren Rees, Graham Tristram and other artists. Unique pieces by Paper Maker and Print artist Charmian Pollok’s and willow weaver/artist Georgia Crook are also exhibited and a willow pig by Anthea Naylor greets guests.
Environmental policy
West Moss-side source all materials as sustainably as possible. All the decking for the yurts is sourced from used scaffolding boards and the yurtplatforms are reused exterior ply-boards. The working farm is of course organic while the small herd of native Shetland cattle are very important for the conservation of the farm's habitat. They form an elegant solution for keeping back the rough grasses and regenerating birch trees which threaten to take over the moss by simply eating them. The cattle also form part of the policy for sourcing food and drink - it must all be local!
Wildlife
The Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve forms a curious environment with domes of peat rising gently from the ground. Squelchy, colourful mats of sphagnum moss cover these bumps, hence the name of both the reserve and farm. It's the perfect environment for lizards, adders, snipe, stonechat and deer. The farm is also home to skylarks, meadow pipits and receives visits from many bumble bees in the summer.
Our guests say...
Kate is an amazing host - she really goes the extra mile for her guests. The West Moss-side farm is in a stunning location with lots to see and do nearby. Really recommend it!
20/07/2018Elizabeth
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The farm/property is beautiful and so peaceful. The yurt was so cozy and well kept. Kate, our host, was gracious and provided great recommendations for things to do in the surrounding area. When we arrived our dinner was prepped for us by the in house chef, Andy, and was delicious! Overall, wonderful experience.
27/06/2018Stephanie
Absolutely stunning! Kate was so warm and welcoming, the Yurt was wonderfully appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our Glamping Experience. Log burning fire was so much warmer than I expected and even though we didn't need to use them, extra blankets, logs and hotwater bottles were all available. Waking up to birdsong in the morning, having breakfast out on the wrap around deck... couldn't have picked a more lovely location or holiday. Can't wait to go back.
18/04/2018Robyn
It was wonderfully quiet with birds chirping every morning, slightly cold and snowy but the yurt kept us warm with its felt walls, mass amounts of blankets, and wood burning stove. Kate was amazing and taught me some crafting and checked up with us every morning when we said hello to the cows. Thornhill was fairly centrally located between so many small and large cities that we were never lacking new places to see or new food to eat. Overall, I didn't want to leave.
02/04/2018Zoey
We had the most lovely stay at the yurt. Kate was so willing to help with all we needed but left us free to have our own space and wonder around the farm too- lots of new calves had just arrived which was lovely! Definitely recommend. Really cosy space with everything we needed.

Booking Terms
Canopy & Stars low price promise
Book with us in confidence knowing you won’t find that place cheaper elsewhere. All of the prices we display are set and matched by our Owners. (In this world of foreign currency, we do have to say 'subject to exchange rates' for some of our European places.)
What does ‘from price’ mean?
Our ‘from price’ is based on a four night stay in low season and designed to help you to compare different prices across our collection. Some of our Owners vary their nightly rates and check in days throughout the year, so it may differ from the rate quoted below the calendar. It is quite common (although by no means universal) for places to charge a little more in peak season or for shorter stays, to cover changeover costs. Consider booking longer stays during the cooler months if you’re looking for the lowest nightly rates.

4. Complaints
Because the contract for your Booking is between you and the Owner, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. In the event that you have any complaint about your stay, please notify the Owner as soon as possible. If you don’t follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Owner to investigate and resolve your complaint and so make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Delays may also mean that amount of compensation you may be entitled to may be reduced.

It’s important to us and the Owner to know that you’ve enjoyed your stay or if anything could have been improved.

If we discover this is the case after you have made a Booking, we reserve the right to contact you with details of the correct information and/or pricing and will give you the option to:
(1) proceed with the Booking based on the correct information and/or pricing, which may require the payment of an additional amount by you;
OR

It is the Guest’s responsibility to enquire with Canopy & Stars and/or check on our website beforehand to make sure that this type of booking is permitted.
