Real stays, real stories at Withybed Yurts
At Withybed Yurts, we love welcoming guests who want to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the countryside. From family holidays and multi-generational getaways to adventure and celebration weekends, our peaceful Dorset setting offers space, comfort, and freedom to relax and have fun together.
We’re especially known for our secluded location with very low light pollution, making it easy to enjoy clear night skies, stargazing, and even views of the Milky Way. Add comfortable yurts, well-equipped facilities, firepits, BBQs, and plenty of room for children (and adults!) to be themselves, and it’s easy to see why so many guests return year after year.
Below are some words from guests who’ve stayed with us recently — shared just as they experienced them.

⭐ Nature & Adventure Weekends – 25 July 2025
“Great weekend of messing about around camp, discovering antlers, buzzard feathers, and lively little frogs. We recommend the railway trail from Sturminster Newton, hiring bikes from Bruton, and walking to The Trooper — very friendly. We also had a good day at Charmouth Beach. All in all, a truly lovely stay at Withybed.”

“We came as a big family group to celebrate my 60th birthday and all had such a wonderful stay. What a beautiful place — the yurts are so comfortable, and thank you for providing everything we needed. Even the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits. We’re all going home with happy memories of a truly wonderful weekend. A perfect family holiday.”
