Retreat to this traditional Mongolian yurt near Shaftesbury, Dorset, where four guests can lean into outdoor living without giving up the comforts of a cosy base. Spend your day at the BBQ or using the other on-site amenities, then unwind beneath the cosy canvas for relaxed evenings together in this colourful countryside hideaway.
Step inside this surprisingly spacious hideaway and you’ll find vibrant lattice-styled walls and all the home comforts needed after a day outdoors. A wrought-iron double bed and two Victorian-style day beds provide plenty of room for four, while soft lighting, electricity and a compact stove make the space feel warm and inviting. Brew a cuppa in the traditional Mongolian-style kettle, then toast your toes in front of the wood burner as the heat fills the yurt. Outside is where this glamping escape really comes alive. Each yurt overlooks the peaceful paddocks and breathtaking views of this former dairy farm, and the picnic area with its table, benches, parasol, BBQ, and private fire pit is a place to enjoy them. Children have lots to keep them occupied too, with enclosed grounds to roam, plus a wooden jungle gym and a disc golf course. The Old Hay Barn houses your private lockable wet room, a shared kitchen, table tennis, a pool table and communal lounge and dining space.
Your location places you just 3 miles from exploring Shaftesbury’s historic Abbey, independent shops and pretty cafes. Family-friendly attractions can be reached within 28 miles, including Longleat Estate and Safari, Stonehenge, and the National Trust’s Stourhead. Adventure further by visiting Gillingham (6 miles) to use their mainline train station.
