Somerset : locations de vacances dans des yourtes

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...

A Perfect Family Getaway at the Buzzard Yurt Our recent stay at the Buzzard Yurt was nothing short of fantastic! My wife, two children, and two dogs had a wonderful time in this beautiful location. The yurt itself was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, with everything you could possibly need for a cozy stay. The attention to detail was impressive, and it’s clear that the hosts have thought of everything to make guests feel at home. The facilities were top-notch, with the showers being particularly fab – a real treat after a day of exploring the stunning surroundings. The setting is both peaceful and picturesque, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing break. A special mention must go to the hosts, who went above and beyond to accommodate us. I had an interview scheduled during our stay, and they kindly allowed me to use the office in their house, which was a huge help. Their hospitality truly made our stay even more enjoy

Our stay in the Empty Tin yurt was utterly glorious. The bed was huge and comfy and warm. There were fresh flowers in the yurt, the compost loo’s and the kitchen. The wood burner kept us toasty in the colder evenings and having a little kitchen near by that was fully stocked with all we needed and also had electric for charging was really valuable. The best thing was probably the pond (yes we did swim in it) and the view of the tor. We walked to Glastonbury and back (about an hour and a half each way) and felt really amongst all the loveliness of the Somerset levels, we saw murmurations of starlings and herons during the day and enjoyed sitting out under the stars with a fire at night. We would definitely return. Thanks Sarah and Finn!

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

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.

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!

We had a lovely stay in Willow yurt, as a family of four. The yurt and the site facilities are excellent. We loved the open space around the yurt and really appreciated the dedicated fridge and bathroom facilities in the barn. The evening bat walk with Katie was an added bonus which we all enjoyed.

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 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 ✨️

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

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!!

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.

Amazing experience from start to finish. All the people at the farm were wonderfully welcoming and generous with their time. Thank you Tay for the extra special welcome for us, it was the perfect start to our trip. We were lucky enough to be able to sit on the deck with the Chiminea going strong, a glass of bubbly, watching the sun set behind Glastonbury Tor...priceless! Yurt was spotless, beautifully furnished and a super comfortable bed. Proper bathroom with flushing toilet was the icing on the cake for a middle-aged woman who gets up a lot in the night :) We will be back again and will try and come when the Farm Caff is open, as I'm sure that's great too. Thank you for a really memorable stay.

Great place to just go and relax. We stayed in the yurt and the woodland surroundings are lovely. Everything you need is there to cook and relax. We will be returning next year.

We have stayed here twice now and find it a perfect peaceful getaway spot. Well thought out facilities for those up for an off grid experience in a wonderful setting. Washing facilities are limited to a bucket and fresh water but I found that fine when in your own private field adding to the immersion into nature experience. The yurt is well thought out and comfortable.

We managed to book Badger Yurt , for a late summer holiday. We have never stayed in a Yurt before but we were supplied perfect information by Katie on what to expect and what we would need to bring with us so were well prepared in advance! Our arrival was made very easy by well written directions and instruction and I have to say WOW ! What an amazing setting, nestled in the countryside it’s such a beautiful and quiet place, the yurts are clean, tidy and very cosy and comfortable. The facilities are amazing, not only do you have your own compost toilet, fire pit, kitchen and BBQ. But you can also make the most of the very cosy and fully equipped barn which provides comfy sofas and kitchen, with hot showers and a toilet for each yurt just next door. All of this is well maintained and clean. Outside the yurts is so peaceful and beautiful, with a huge and safe open space for children to run and play. And the stars at night are amazing ! Will definitely be coming back thank you !

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.
