We love Yurts!
We are passionate about creating spaces that reconnect people with nature without sacrificing comfort. Every structure we build reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and thoughtful design.
We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, providing nationwide delivery, installation and yurt maintenance services all year round.
A Tradition Reimagined
Yurts have been used for thousands of years as reliable and efficient living spaces. We’ve taken this timeless concept and adapted it for modern lifestyles — combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced materials.
Our goal is simple: to create structures that feel natural, perform exceptionally, and last for years to come. Our yurts are designed for those seeking a better way to live, work, and build — blending simplicity with functionality and environmental sustainability.

What Our Customers Say
“I loved my yurt. It was beautifully made with love and care. Gorgeous inside and out. I had a 14ft yurt and spent a year living in it. With a wooden insulated floor, sheepswool felt insulation, and a woodburner it would take about 15 minutes from lighting the burner to being toasty warm. In winter it was a special place to relax and feel protected from the cold, wet Irish weather.”

“As an artist I could not have dreamt of a better studio space…round, continuously aware of being part of nature, spacious, with surprisingly lots of light… I just love it. The yurt is well made, secure and we received all the necessary help for putting it up and insulating it. An all round wonderful experience and for years to come being in and creating in the yurt, will fill me with joy.”

I’m delighted with my yurt. Celtic Yurts are top class. The canvas is exceptionally tough and there are multiple colours to choose from. I use my yurt as a yoga studio and it creates the perfect environment to practice and teach in. It’s a dry, cosy and quirky space. I love it.
Sherry and Donal provide a wonderful service and are a pleasure to deal with. They delivered on time and followed up checking how it’s going as time went on and during rough storms. We installed a stove in the space recently and it adds a huge amount of warmth during the winter months even without insulation. I’m one happy customer.

From first contact with Sherry and Donal at Celtic yurts the whole journey of choosing and deciding on what the yurt will look like went with ease. The welcome and opportunity last June to look at one they had and the chance to ask questions felt supportive in all the decisions. Sherry reached out when anything needed clarifying and Donal arrived here with my yurt last November and a lot of work went into the making of this in between. The day of installation went really good and easy to see Donal’s experience at what he does. Both were available to answer any queries i had along the way and were amazing in the quality and craft that was supplied. Really happy with the Yurt and all the amazing support along the way. happy to recommend Celtic Yurts, warm supportive good folk to deal with. They have reached out since aswell to see how everything is. Top class.
