Yurt holiday rentals in West Dorset District

We wanted a place where our family could connect, the children could experience a different way of life (we’re townies!) and our lungs could fill with fresh air. Moonacre Yurt hit the spot!! Surrounded by chickens, cows and Mother Nature, we soaked up as much of the atmosphere and Dide’s knowledge as possible. What a wonderful host, encouraging the kids to collect fresh eggs and talking to them about biodynamic farming, such a pleasure! Not a place for those of you wanting creature comforts (compost toilet, walk outside the yurt to get to bathroom and kitchen) but oh so wonderful for a snippet of the good life...

Despite the weather taking a turn and it being incredibly wet most the weekend, we throughly enjoyed our stay at the yurt. The yurt itself is very cosy. We bought our projector and screen so we could snuggle up and watch some films with the wood burner going, and the sound of the rain just made it that bit cosier. We loved the hot tub, though we only used it one of the nights we stayed. The farm shop on site is such a fabulous perk of staying here, we grabbed some nice beers/posh vodka, and snacks and nibbly bits, and we popped in and checked out the vintage/antique shop too. Being so close to the farm animals was also really sweet and we both loved the pig. Overall we made the most of our stay and had a really lovely time.

Our whole group had a fantastic weekend away at this beautiful spot. The rain didn't dampen our spirits as the facilities were perfect. The gorgeous yurt made a wonderful communal space & the firepit provided a magical outside spot. The tents were very comfortable & had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this private getaway & could not fault it. 10 out of 10!!

Had an absolutely lovely couple of nights at the site for New Year's. The site was peaceful and in a beautiful location. The yurt was amazing, excellent wood burner, lovely furnishings and the heated sheets were great too. Nick was very welcoming and helpful (we didnt get the chance to meet Molly), lovely chap and we made use of the table tennis and i braved a dip in the lake, which was great! Close proximity to several pubs and plenty of food options in Bridport itself too, as well as many amazing areas to visit on the Jurassic Coast. We will happily be back at some point, this has been one of the best Airbnb visits ive had, so would highly recommend to anyone thinking of going!

A tranquil & peaceful setting for a break to unwind back to basics. The yurt was beautiful & decorated very homely. Our first time in a Yurt & it was better than our expectations. Attention to detail & facilties on site really fitted the eco friendly atmosphere this place had. we had a great couple of days & would highly recommend! Thankyou

What a place this is. I always spend a while on air b&b trying to find somewhere good to stay at a reasonable price…. This surpasses that! The yurts are way bigger than expected, the communal area is awesome and has everything you need, shower room is great. The kids absolutely loved every minute of it, we had some real, money can’t buy quality family time. (Amazing what 2 days of no screens can do!) We will , 110% be back for a longer stay again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Absolutely beautiful stay. So peaceful (a little cold overnight) but just a beautiful stay.

We were huge fans of this place!! To have miles of nature walks literally on your doorstep was awesome and the kids loved playing in the open space and riding their bikes. Even in February the cabin was lovely and warm with all the things you need to unplug and relax. We toasted marshmallows in the outside fire pit and also went to the pub across the road which was very nice and convenient too. Super friendly hosts, would recommend highly!

A very memorable stay, Amanda's listing has beautiful photos but they don't do the place justice! A wonderful way to have a truly relaxing, off grid experience but we were by no means slumming it! Amanda and Tom have kitted out the yurt and accompanying cabin with everything you could possibly need and more. The bed was extremely comfy and we were toasty warm despite it being well into October.

We had a great glamping experience. The staff onsite were very welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We couldn't thank them enough. The accommodation was clean, tidy and comfortable and the hot tubs were amazing. Our four yr old son loved the experience and so did we.

My wife and I went to Deers Leap for two days in April. Thank you, Kate and Dave for your warm welcome and for such an amazing place. You have obviously put so much thought and care into making the yurt and it's surroundings a really special place. We really appreciated the scenery, peace and privacy. We loved watching the sunrise, seeing the deer by moonlight at night, hearing the birds, swinging on the swing seat, eating at the picnic table while enjoying the view, using the outdoor shower which gave instant hot water just with the flick of a switch, feeling cosy inside the yurt with the woodburner on, and visiting Watchet and East Quantoxhead beach where we saw several fossils. We were blessed with excellent weather which was a bonus. Everything we needed was there. We appreciated the use of the fridge/freezer at the bottom of the hill. Highly recommended!

We had the most tranquil stay; the yurt is so private and secluded it was like our own personal woodland where we completely reconnected with nature. We spent everyday outside (except when using the sauna 😉). We couldn’t have asked for more attentive hosts, Olivia was always there to help us with anything we needed, we especially appreciated the extra tuition on how to use the pizza oven!! She also completely left us to it to immerse ourselves in the space. Thanks so much, it was the perfect treat for our Mum’s birthday 🥰

This is glamping at it’s best. All the benefits of getting away from it all and back to basics in the countryside, with the luxury of home comforts in a beautiful private peaceful setting. Sam & Rich had thought of everything to make it a wonderful stay. The biscuits and cider on arrival was a lovely welcome. There’s so much to do on the doorstep; walking, beach days and great food. We hope to come back in the future.

Alison is a kind, helpful, and attentive host who went above and beyond during our stay. The Yurt was cosy, beautiful, and peaceful. Despite the rain and wind our stay was idyllic and cosy, the log burner was fantastically warm. Alison also kindly picked us up from the train station, even offering to take us to a local supermarket for food and offering us a lift back to the yurt from the local town. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see a lot of wildlife due to the weather, but the area was so peaceful and beautiful that this was easy to look past! The hot tub was wonderful too, it gave the space a real spa retreat feel. Alison provided us croissants for breakfast as well as tea and coffee in the yurt. Everything was clean and easy to use. The hot water wasn’t working during our stay but that was nothing a par-boiled kettle couldn’t fix! This was the perfect winter alternative to camping, thank you for a magical anniversary trip Alison! We can’t wait to come back again!!

What an incredible place to stay, we booked last minute for 3 days and didn’t expect it to be so fabulous. Iv stayed all over the world and this stunning Yurt is up there with the best! It was spotlessly clean, the pictures do not do the place justice….you have to experience it yourself, we slept in very comfy beds with a wood burner going right under the moon. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. We struggled to think of anything you would add, The shower was perfectly hot and clean just bring flip flops so you can walk back to the bedroom, it’s super private so not single person could see you in the 5 steps back to the bedroom. I was worried about the toilet situation & again it was private & so clean, we did take a potty for the little ones for the night, which worked a treat. The play area and chill out area was amazing the kids made great use of it and we enjoyed toasting marshmallows. Perfect location! And easy to find! Thank you for a lovely stay 😊

My friends and I had a great stay at Driftaway. We hired both the yurt and safari tent so that we had the whole site to ourselves and were able to pitch up another tent to accommodate three families with young children and a dog altogether. The tents and shower blocks are well equipped with cooking equipment and games. The surroundings are beautiful with a woodland behind which has deer, foxes, badgers and rabbits. The hosts were really friendly and responsive when I let them know the loo flush in one of the toilets wasn't working well. They were very accommodating when we had other friends visit for BBQs as well. Overall we really enjoyed our stay & would definately go back!

My life is transformed. Never would I ever of believed that a round wooden cabin would fill my heart with so much warmth and gratitude. The optical illusion, the miniature door, the abundance of blankets and fluffy rugs, the walk to the toilet that made me appreciate the Yurt even more; this Yurt is beyond words existing in the farthest galaxy of cosmic madness. Yurt really is love and Yurt really is life. Thank you ✨️

If you looking for weekend away to recharge your batteries this is the place to stay. Very welcoming and extremely quiet. The cafe on site is amazing and always our first port of call in the morning. Plenty of space to make you feel isolated between other tents. I will be definitely recommending black pig retreat to friends and family.

Thank you Sandy and crew for a lovely stay again, this is our third visit and our absolute favourite place to come for tranquility and peace. My children thoroughly enjoyed and they were delighted to be welcomed in to listen to some live ‘open mic’ singing. They loved making friends with the resident dogs also ❤️We didn’t want to come home! We will be back again next year and hopefully the festival will be on which we will come to for sure! x

I took my partner here for a couple of nights as a suprise for out anniversary, emily was more than helpful and very kindly sorted out some extras for the yurt as per my request. We had a lovely peaceful stay, bathroom spotless, kitchen is perfect, views are outstanding. The yurt its self was so cozy and clean!Sad we had to leave, now wishing I'd booked for 3 nights as rather than 2 but the time we spent here was incredible. Emily was on hand if we needed anything (which we didnt). The surrounding areas are lovely, a hill fort just a short walk away!This is the perfect little get away for if you really want to just get away and be left be!My partner was absolutely over the moon and didnt want to leave!Thank you emily for everything..we will be back!

highly recommend staying here. As everyone has said pictures don't do justice to the beautiful private garden you have (which is enclosed so can relax with our dog) theres also a table and two seats outside. We had perfect weather when we stayed, just got cold at night but the log burner was perfectly cosy in the yurt. Good value for money and a great way to relax and escape.

A delightful, quirky rural escape with plenty of Somerset’s attractions on your doorstep. A few suggestions for your stay: Embrace being woken at dawn by the birdsong. (Or bring an eye mask and ear plugs). The day’s sun will keep the yurt toastie, but you’ll probably need the fire of the evening. My escapes don’t involve me cooking, but if you want to, you may need a few extras eg forks, chopping board, seasonings and enough imagination to work your magic with a two-ring gas burner and a kettle. There’s plenty of nearby pubs, we enjoyed the Oakhill Inn. There’s a little bit of a walk/dash to the facilities block, I’d suggest a dressing gown and an umbrella. And finally, no need to worry about bad weather; we survived an incredible thunderstorm and lightning and everything was good. In all a lovely alternative stay, we adored the location and the work that’s gone in to making this an environmentally-friendly wildlife spot.

We stayed in the Yarlington yurt which was absolutely wonderful, almost like something from a fairytale. We were given excellent instructions on how to get to and access the property and facilities and it was very well appointed. The only disappointments were well beyond the control of the owners in that the weather was terrible, so we were unable to make the best of the available facilities in the fire pit and barbeque. One other point of note is that if you are planning to eat at the local pub, do make a booking. They were unable to accommodate us as they were fully booked and were also asked to drink outside despite being half empty. I would heartily recommend staying at Torre Cider Farm and would love to go back in better weather.
