Dorset Farmhouse Luxury Camping in West Dorset
Welcome to Gray's Farmhouse Yurt!Romantic Hideaway, Camping in Deepest Dorset From May, 2011
Gray's Farmhouse Yurt, in the grounds of our B&B, the former shooting lodge of Mapperton Manor, will be set on the edge of ancient untouched woodland full of bluebells, and wildflower meadows rich in wildlife.
As you approach Gray's Farmhouse, a branch of the track brings you to a small meadow, in the far corner of which we plan to erect an 18ft. yurt in 2011 for guests to enjoy luxury camping in idyllic seclusion.
This will surely be one of the most romantic yurts in Dorset, for unlike yurt campsites, here there will be just the one yurt. As far as we know, this makes us unique!* Guests staying in the yurt will also have use of the gardens and grounds that are enjoyed by our B&B guests, which lie just through a gap in the hedge across the field.
"""Possibly..the most idyllic spot we have come upon"'"
We plan to provide a wood-burning stove in the yurt to keep it cosy, and a fire-pit and field kitchen beside the yurt so that guests can enjoy the pleasures of cooking outside as well as having access to an indoor kitchen nearby. The yurt will be furnished with a double bed and lit by lanterns and solar fairy lights: this will be camping in style! Loo, wash basin and shower will be a short walk across the grass. We aim to provide all the joys of camping with none of the discomfort!
Our grounds in Summer Our grounds immediately adjoin bluebell woods and and from the field above Gray's Farm there are glimpses of the sea "We went on a couple of early morning walks from the door across the Dorset countryside rich in wildlife, surrounding Gray's farmhouse, which was such a privilege!"

Our grounds in Winter
Nearby Eggardon Hill
Gray's Farm adjoins 2 nature reserves, 3 SSSIs, and the estates of Mapperton Manor and Wytherston, all criss-crossed by a network of footpaths that include the near by Jubilee Trail and the Wessex Ridgeway. We love advising guests on our favourite walks from home, whether just a short rural circuit or a day out on Eggardon Hill or to Mapperton Manor, near Beaminster, with its magnificent Italianate water gardens nestling into the surrounding countryside. *Please note that the photos of the yurts on this page are simulations. The yurt has not yet been erected, but the photos give a reasonably accurate picture of how the yurt will look in situ. Site Updated July 26, 2010 |
