Withybed Yurts: A Peaceful Woodland Escape
Sleeps 15 | West-Facing Sunsets | Perfect for Families & Large Groups
Tucked beside our historic Deer Park on Stroud Farm, Withybed offers a secluded retreat surrounded by rolling fields and ancient woodland. It’s a place where the rhythm of the farm meets the magic of the wild—perfect for multi-family breaks, retreats, and relaxed hen parties.
Golden Hours & Starry Nights
The Sunset: Facing west, the camp is perfectly positioned for breathtaking sunsets that wash the Dorset sky in gold each evening.
Stargazing: As night falls, the wide-open skies above the camp offer unforgettable stargazing. Gather around the campfire to toast marshmallows under a canopy of stars.
Nature’s Soundtrack: Listen for the calls of tawny owls, the rustle of roe deer, and—in May and June—the rare, magical song of the nightingale.
The Accommodation
Your group has exclusive use of three yurts and a central hub:
3 Sleeping Yurts: Each thoughtfully furnished with a king-size bed, two singles, and an optional pull-out futon.
The Safari Tent: A large, covered communal living area with a dresser, dining space, and comfortable seating—the perfect “base camp” for your group.
Facilities & Rustic Luxury
The Outdoor Spa: A guest-favourite wood-fired bathtub under the stars (which can also be used as a refreshing cold plunge!).
Kitchen & Dining: A covered kitchen with a gas oven, a large 70/30 fridge-freezer, and all the utensils you need.
Modern Comforts: Two private gas-heated showers and two flushing toilets.
The Stream: A seasonal stream runs just below the site, providing a peaceful backdrop for morning rambles and nature spotting.
Good to Know
Families & Dogs: Very family-friendly with heaps of space to play. We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs.
Easy Access: Located just 10 minutes by taxi from Sherborne Station.
