Our Sites
The Luxury Glamping Dorset experience at the Stock Gaylard Estate is like no other, unique and exclusive.
All our sites are in their own specially chosen area, away from the others giving you a peaceful and undisturbed stay.
Our yurts cause no permanent damage to the land and the dark green canvas coverings are in harmony with their surroundings.
The location
Escape the everyday and unwind in the heart of the Dorset countryside.
At Stock Gaylard Estate, our exclusive, off-grid glamping experience invites you to slow down, disconnect from life’s pressures, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature together and with the people you love.
Set within an unspoilt 1,800-acre traditional country estate surrounded by ancient oak woodland, deer park and stunning natural beauty, our glamping sites put nature front and centre — without sacrificing comfort.
Each of our handcrafted camps is entirely private — no shared facilities, no crowds, just your own peaceful pocket of countryside. Just you, your friends or family, and the peaceful rhythms of the Dorset landscape.
From comfortable yurts, a cosy couple’s shepherds hut to a converted double-decker bus, every stay blends rustic charm with thoughtful comfort — including private showers, warm beds, outdoor kitchens, campfires and even under-the-stars baths.
Our glamping retreats are perfect for romantic escapes, family adventures, fun group gatherings and dog-friendly holidays, giving you the freedom to explore, play, and unwind at your own pace. As night falls, gather around the fire, sink into the quiet, and look up — Stock Gaylard offers some of the clearest skies in Dorset, making stargazing an unforgettable part of your stay.
Whether you’re soaking in a wood-fired hot tub, wandering woodland trails with the dog, or watching the children run free in the open fields, Stock Gaylard brings together nature, comfort and connection in a way that stays with you long after you leave.
Discover your perfect countryside escape — where luxury meets the wild.
Our Luxury Yurts...
Our yurts are modelled on the traditional Mongolian Ger, which was first created over 2,500 years ago and is still home to almost three-quarters of the population of Mongolia.
All the ash wood for the steam bent latticed wall sections, roof poles and crowns of our yurts come from the estate woodland. Each yurt was skilfully handcrafted on site by Jamie Ross, a well-known and gifted local furniture maker, who has also designed and made much of our unique ‘yurt furniture’. The covers are made by Cath Pratley, please visit her website.
Spacious and welcoming, the yurts stand on wooden platforms, set up in groups of three or four – each with a double bed and two singles plus a futon, and a kitchen/living yurt. They are stylishly and individually furnished allowing you to enjoy the simple pleasures of the outdoors without sacrificing any comforts. All your needs are provided for, including bed linen, duvets, pillows, rugs and kitchen equipment. There are now gas fired hot showers at all sites.
Both indoor and outdoor lighting is solar powered, whilst the water for the outdoor bath is heated by a wood fired boiler, which fits in with our aim to offer you a holiday with minimum impact on the environment and maximum comfort, luxury and serenity.
