The Yurt Retreat

The Yurt Retreat is under a hill fort on a working organic dairy farm and has luxury yurts with private bathrooms and luxury showers. The yurts have use of the on-site lodge with a beautiful communal kitchen and comfy lounge. Each yurt is fully kitted out with furniture and its own log burners for cosy nights under the stars. Exclusively for adults over 16 and surrounded by amazing wildlife and great views, this truly is glamorous camping. Each yurt is south facing. Sit on your own personal decking looking out across open fields and woodlands and watch the sun set; you might even see a herd of deer if you're lucky. There is also an award-winning gastro pub within walking distance.
