Nestled in the hills of Melplash, Dorset, this fully insulated yurt is a hidden gem for those craving comfort and calm in the heart of nature.
Inside, a superking bed invites long, lazy mornings, warmed by the soft crackle of the wood burner. As night falls, lie back beneath the stargazing roof window and watch the constellations drift by. Just outside, your private deck hosts a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing breakfast or a glass of something special as the sun sets. The fire pit and outdoor furniture make it easy to linger outdoors, with sweeping views over the lake and across the surrounding valleys, a view that changes beautifully with the light of each day.
This tranquil spot is more than just a place to stay, it’s somewhere to explore, to breathe, and to reconnect. Wander through the orchard, where birds sing and the air carries the sweet scent of apples in season. Two lakes lie just a stone throw away, inviting you in for a refreshing swim or a quiet moment by the shore. Wildflowers, open skies, and gently rustling trees surround you, offering an ever-changing backdrop to your escape. While the setting feels blissfully remote, you’re just a short walk from the pub, a cosy village inn perfect for a pint or a hearty meal. Under four miles away, the vibrant town of Bridport offers markets, arts, and local flavour, while a 30-minute drive brings you to Charmouth Beach—ideal for fossil hunting and coastal walks.
With so much beauty and variety on your doorstep, this peaceful yurt is the perfect base for slow mornings, wild swims, long walks, and the simple joy of time well spent in nature. The owners also host wood-fired pizza evenings in their wood-fired pizza oven using local ingredients. The cost is £15 for adults and £7.50 for children. Beach 12 miles.

We had the most amazing stay!! The bed was to die for. The sofa… we want one now.The overall facilities -kitchen etc were fantastic! The site walks were amazing! The owner Nick was just lovely, so helpful! Would we go back? I can’t wait!! My only advice….. maybe get some table mats so your lovely table doesn’t get cup marks on it!!

Loved our short break here. The epitome of coziness, although the weather was cold and as the log burner was the only heat it was a shame that more fuel wasn’t included. Bed was amazing with heated under sheet! Bliss! Total relaxation with no Tv and our books! Despite being a little chilly in mornings, that we loved in and would recommend and even return.Pub walk 15 mins over hill was a bonus!!
