See all facilities…Set in beautiful rural Dorset at the heart of Hardy country, Dorset Country Holidays offers a respite from the rat race.
Glamping is set around 'the common' where guests can choose whether they wish to come glamping in a yurt, bell tent, Airstream, vintage caravan, tipi or shepherd's hut.
Most glamping accommodation includes an electric light, cooler / fridge, double bed, electric sockets, carpet / rugs, cutlery & crockery, gas stove, chiminea, barbecue and picnic bench.
Located on a three-star AA park, guests have full access to amenities such as showers and toilets.
We welcome couples, families, same sex groups and dogs. We can even help plan that special celebration, stag or hen break offering a wide range of activities and catering.
