Wellbeing retreat weekends in the Somerset countryside between Bath, Glastonbury and Wells
;
The Yurt Sanctuary at Orchard House is a wonderful place where you can relax and enjoy being surrounded by nature, whilst indulging in some luxurious pampering (including wood-fired hot tubs).
Set in a secure two-acre wild meadow within the wonderful Somerset countryside between Bath, Glastonbury
and Wells, you can escape from the daily grind in one of our beautiful off-grid yurts;
“Wildwood” or “Little Oak”.
The two yurts are at either end of a two-acre field, with plenty of trees between them. They are completely private, with individual tracks leading to them and tall hazel fencing around them, so even if both yurts are occupied, you won’t see any other guests from your garden.
The Yurt Sanctuary is the "rest and rejuvenate" retreat space for Wild Oak Wellbeing (www.wildoakwellbeing.co.uk)
Your "Wild Oak Wellbeing Weekend" includes:
A gong and sound bath journey in Willow Yurt
A choice of full body, back neck and shoulders or seated acupressure massage
A one hour sauna and ice bath experience at Wild Plunge (short drive away)
Extra holistic treatments can be added, such as crystal chakra balance, mindfulness and meditation and therapeutic sand tray journey
Due to the fantastic location nestling on the edge of the Mendip Hills (AONB), you can enjoy a tranquil and secluded yurt and hot tub experience, whilst still being within easy reach of many fantastic places to visit.

For Dogs...
Dogs are very welcome to stay in Wildwood Yurt (pets are not permitted in Little Oak). There is a fenced in private garden and you also have use of our secure two acre field; except during the times when we have arranged to walk our own dogs (we have four at present) or when it is the designated “hen free ranging” time. Your dog(s) will not be expected to interact with other dogs (or people) but please be aware that there is an enclosure with pygmy goats (5ft fencing), so if your dog has very high prey drive, please keep them on a lead when in the field.
Dogs are very welcome!
