Yurt holiday rentals in Dorset

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!

What a beautiful place in the countryside! Kids (5 and 8) absolutely loved it, as did the grown ups

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!

Had a fantastic stay at The Garlic Farm. The yurt was cosy and well equipped and you felt transported to another world in the beautiful surroundings, never seen so many wild rabbits before. Really nice touches with the tennis court, football pitch, communal area and games room. The Garlic Farm shop is amazing and so many great products. Restaurant is great and food fantastic. Hosts friendly and responsive from booking to checkout! Would highly recommend.

We had the most wonderful 3-day stay at the Sky Cabin – it was everything we needed and more! The cabin itself is super cosy and perfectly nestled next to a forest, making it the ideal spot if you’re looking to truly switch off and unwind. We actually loved that there was no WiFi – a much-needed digital detox that let us really relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The hot tub was such a lovely bonus and our 10-year-old daughter absolutely loved it – it really made the trip extra special for her. Robbie and Rachel were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the start. We’re already thinking about coming back in the summer – it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again!

What a location! And the facilities and space to back it up. Duvet was snug and warm despite quite chilly nights on our late April visit. We had an amazing time.

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.

Had a really great stay, absolutely stunning scenery and would definitely recommend to friends

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.

The Stargazing Yurt was such a magical stay ✨ We had the best weekend with the fire going, lovely hot baths and just a truly relaxing time. The area is beautiful and you wake up to the sight of the Sea. Wonderful walks near by, pubs and a local shop. It couldn’t have been better. We all said we would stay here again 💚 A real Island gem. Thank you

An amazing place to stay. James was very proactive and made sure we had everything needed. It was a nice touch to have a bottle of fresh milk and orange juice in the fridge. The yurt has got everything you need for a break away. The beds are very comfy, the bathroom on the side is clean and the shower is nicely hot (you really do need it when the weather fails you!). The surroundings are to kill for. I was waking up to a sunset with deers running around. Can’t ask for anything else with my morning coffee 😊 Kids and I are already planning another weekend away at the yurt.

great stay, surprised the wife and three children under 5yrs. they loved it, so much for the kids to do. Many happy memories made.

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.

We checked in at late notice and had the most gorgeous stay for 2 nights. The space was stunning and picturesque. Would have loved to stay longer and will definitely be back. I also lost the tiniest piece of jewellery which Camilla searched high and low for and found to return to me. So so grateful!

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.

We had the best time at Tim's place! The location exceeded our expectations, it was so peaceful with loads to do and we even saw the resident deer a couple of times. We had a hammock, swings for the kids, a badminton court, firepit area with loads of wood. But make sure you are up for a steep walk to and from the car park as not suited for people with any knee or ankle issues. The yurt was spectacular too with everything you would expect and the furnishings are beautiful 🐝! Thank you Tim for a lovely stay!

The place is so nice especially with nature lovers, secure and we have a privacy. Angus is approachable, quick to response with our messages. We really enjoyed staying in Angus place. We were thankful for extra bonus the 5 free range eggs.

This Airbnb was lovely. The Yurt looks exactly like the pictures and everything was laid out/decorated perfectly. The place is extremely cosy and considering it was Feb we didn’t struggle to keep warm with the fire going. It has everything you’d need for a stay and the host was super helpful and responsive. I can imagine that the outdoor area would be lovely in the summer too.

Really lovely place to stay for a weekend away. Beautiful surroundings - peaceful, private space. We absolutely loved the hot tub! Place was clean and tidy. Some extra amenities wouldn’t go amiss - shampoo and shower gel, basic kitchen supplies (olive oil) etc. The local pub was a 10-15 minute walk away down a narrow, gravel lane with very little street lighting. Car is a must! Other than that, Megan is a lovely host and we enjoyed our stay.
