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...

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

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.

The most perfect place!!! Could not have had a more enjoyable time. The views, the facilities, the showers, the beautiful tipis and the local pub ❤️❤️❤️ thank you

Gorgeous setting, right next to a stream and a field of sheep! Personally I found that really comforting. The yurt itself was big, and furnished well. There was another yurt on the site, but far away enough so that we were still secluded. Easy to check in, no problems there, very relaxed and private.

We really enjoyed our long weekend in the yurt. The yurt was brilliant, really nice and cosy. There was lots of space for the kids to run around. Verity was great and provided lots of local recommendations, which was really useful. She even let the kids help feed the goats. We will definitely be going back.

Woweee. Walnut Farm is without doubt a magical place. Super helpful and friendly owners. Drinks on our deck in the sunshine, diving off the pontoon into the cool, freshwater pond and finishing off with Prosecco in the hot tub was a perfect end to our day. Woke up with a morning dip, coffee then headed home. We will be back. For sure.

We spent a long weekend in this cabin, and it was absolutely perfect. Calling it a “cabin” doesn’t quite do it justice—it’s more like a beautifully crafted small house, built entirely from solid wood. It feels warm, cosy and in harmony with nature.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay! Amanda and Tom are great hosts warm and welcoming, the yurt and camp is incredible with everything you could need for a great country stay we throughly enjoyed making the most of the facilities provided being back to nature felt easy with eco features including solar shower and lighting, the bed is one of the best we have stayed in with quality local bedding! We loved the cast iron kettle pots pans and washing equipment! The sausages and homemade cider were an enjoyable highlight fresh wild flowers on arrival along with hot chocolate poping corns teas coffee milk butter homemade bread were all wonderful! I would recommend to anyone that’s thinking of booking a stay! You will not be disappointed! Remember to take time out in the meadow to appreciate the gorgeous glittery sky filled with stars! Just delightful! Thank you so much to you both we can’t wait to return soon,

Absolutely stunning stay at Deers Leap, loved seeing the bats, bunnies and Deer in the evenings. Met Kate when we went to purchase a coffee from her amazing horse box coffee shop and she was super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The climb up-to the yurt was a killer but totally worth it when you get to the top and see the view. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

Just wow. The most magical week! Thank you Olivia and Grant. For creating such a perfect haven. We absolutely loved our stay, it’s even better than the photos. The yurt is gorgeously decorated, large and cosy - you sink into the bedding. Our little girl declared “best bed ever!!!”. The out doors seating areas are fantastic, ideal for all weather. We had a fire pit each night. The kitchen has everything you need! And the inside bathrooms shower is really warm. Our girls absolutely loved bathing outside!! A real highlight. They went from playing in a private part of the river to bathing under trees. All the additional thoughtful touches are everywhere; crafting (stone painting / willow headdress making), s’more jars ready to be used, local items for pampering with the sauna. We just absolutely loved our stay, couldn’t recommend it more highly. Thank you again! Zoe and Ruben

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.

We had the loveliest time at Russell’s place. The setting is beautiful, relaxing with a view of the sea was perfect. Russell was very welcoming and helpful. The yurt was perfect - everything had been thought about. Our kids had a great time and the nearby village shop and local pubs are very handy. Overall a great stay and we would love to return.

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.

Rebecca and her family made us feel very welcome. Her husband invited our kids to the fire for marshmallows and playtime with their kids. The location and history were incredible. Plus, who could honestly pass up a night in yurt? It was the most pleasant finish to any night during our entire two weeks holiday. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants quiet away from the city life and one of the most pleasant sleeping experiences you could desire.

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 ✨️

Wonderful place will definitely return. Keep your eyes open for deer at dusk! The Spyway pub was a lovely walk across the fields. The yurt is beautiful 🤩

we had a lovely weekend in the yurt. it was as described and Tim was very helpful and responsive. we got a bbq and breakfast hamper both of which were delicious. the shower was lovely and hot with good pressure and the beds were comfortable

Fantastic stay with a young family of four and a dog. Yurt had everything we needed and was warm and cosy. Local area has some great pubs and beautiful walks. Very peaceful and relaxing.

We had a lovely stay over East at the yurt, our 3 girls enjoyed roaming the grounds. Emma and Hugh were super accommodating and provided an early check in as we were in town earlier than expected, thank you for a lovely stay!

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.

Words from the youngest-"Insanity great! The gardens are so beautiful. The shower was godly—the person who built it deserves a golden trophy." Our yurt stay was magical—peaceful sky views from bed, cosy warmth, and thoughtful design. My son adored the comfy bed and soft rug, and the wood burner made evenings perfect. The shower- Majestic.Heavenly.Divine. The outdoor kitchen kept family time going through dinner prep—fully equipped and easy to use, luxurious. The record player was a sweet touch (bringing records next time!). We barely needed our supplies—towels, robes, coffee, air fryer, hot plate, and every pot and pan were provided. The wild swimming lake was clean and clear, with soft water and tadpoles resting in the shallows. A swing on a giant oak, deer wandering the land—it felt like a fairytale. Amanda and Rob were kind, relaxed, and attentive, with a strong sense of care and safety. Our son was totally at ease—he thrived in the calm. This place is magic. We’ll be back.

I absolutely loved this little retreat. It's set in a really peaceful rural location, but within walking distance to town, pubs, shops etc. It's on a little lane which has a great circular walk down to the waterside. We loved the little fenced garden so the dog can have some freedom, and it has all of the amenities that we could have wanted. The hot tub was such a welcome indulgence. Great value for money and wonderful host.
