Willow Yurt on a Farm in Somerset, England

One-Off Feature

Nestled at the foot of an ancient hill fort in the lush green county of Somerset are two luxurious yurts and two stunning wooden roundhouses, making up a peaceful adults only retreat. Willow Yurt is beautifully styled in a scandi design with soft greys and yellows. Watch the sun set from your private deck, enjoy the woodland sauna, toast marshmallows on the fire pit, and immerse yourself in the incredible feeling of peace and tranquillity.

General Info

Part of an organic working dairy farm, the Yurt Retreat is home to two yurts and two roundhouses (each of which sleeps 2 people), and is a place where you can really connect with the stunning landscape. All the accommodation is south facing so that you can make the most of the sunlight, and the only things surrounding you are open fields and woodland, buzzards circling overhead, herds of deer grazing and pheasants and badgers wandering out of the woods. This really is a magical place where you can completely unwind and escape the stresses of day to day life. Stylish and cosy, the yurts and roundhouses themselves are the height of glamping luxury, with comfortable beds, handmade furniture, hot showers and beautiful redwood decking. And yet right outside your door there is birdsong, an unspoilt view and a clear sky full of stars. It’s hard to imagine a more enchanting setting.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

In the next village of Hinton St George (about a mile away and easily accessible by bike or on foot), you will find the award-winning Lord Poulett Arms. With flagstone floors, low beams and open fires, it ticks every box for a traditional country pub. Two miles east is Crewkerne, a market town offering supermarkets, shops, cafes and an indoor pool and gym complex. The pretty town of Lyme Regis, with its boutiques and second hand book shops, is a 30 minute drive, and West Bay & Bridport, famous for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, is the same distance. The beach at West Bay is stunning and Bridport itself has everything from cafes and vintage shops to an independent cinema. The coastline and countryside is waiting to be explored - walk a stretch of the coast path, go wind surfing, fishing and rock climbing in Weymouth, or visit one of the many historic houses and gardens like Montacute House, Forde Abbey, and Abbotsbury Swannery.

Interior Details
Willow Yurt is the first Yurt you will come to on our site, It is beautifully styled in a Skandi design with soft greys and warm yellows. It has a double bed (with Egyptian cotton bed linen), a sofa, and a log burner (first basked of logs included). There's tea, coffee and a kettle in the yurt, but the main kitchen facilities are in The Lodge which is a short walk away and shared with the occupants of Larch Yurt. Lights and power included. The Lodge has a country kitchen, with a large table big enough for everyone to fit around. Each Yurt has it’s own food cupboard and crockery as well as space in the fridge ( there is a small freezer compartment to share). There is a lounge in the roof of the building where you can sit to read or watch a film on our comfy giant bean bags and there's also a bathroom upstairs.

Benefiting from early morning shade this is the Yurt for a lie in on a glorious summers morning! The yurt sits on its own private wood platform, with a table and chairs for al fresco dining and sensational views over the surrounding countryside.
