Glamping holiday breaks in the Somerset countryside between Bath and Wells
|

Be assured all our facilities are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised between guests. |

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 a wood-fired hot tub under the trees!).
Set in a secure two-acre paddock within the wonderful Somerset countryside between Bath 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 great for couples, children and dogs are welcome in the Wildwood camp. Due to the fantastic location nestling on the edge of the Mendip Hills (AONB), you can enjoy a tranquil and secluded glamping experience, whilst still being within easy reach of many fantastic places to visit.

Complete comfort under canvas - just bring your slippers!
Your hosts (living at Orchard House) are Dan and Michele Bentley. Originally theatre performers in London, they now have “escaped to the country” and are loving every minute. Michele runs Bentley Holistic Dogs and is also a qualified practitioner in crystal healing therapy, while Dan is a sought-after sports massage therapist (who also looks after the players at Bath Rugby). Having been typical townies, they have thoroughly embraced the country lifestyle after seven years and are delighted to be able to share a little of it with the Yurt Sanctuary guests.
For Kids...
Come and meet the chickens that lay your breakfast eggs - we have a variety of breeds of hen and they lay different colours, including blue and green!
You can also spend time watching the antics of the crazy pygmy goats …. they have been raised with children and are very happy to be stroked and fed!
There is a wide selection of toys and games (including croquet and badminton).

For Adults...
Enjoy either a chair or couch massage in your yurt or in the therapy room at the house. Dan is a sports massage therapist for the Bath rugby team but also has clients who are tree-surgeons, plasterers, musicians and mums-to-be. Your massage will be tailored to your specific requirements and you will receive a 10% discount on Bentley Bodyworks' usual rates. (Please see www.bentleybodyworks.co.uk)
You can also enjoy a crystal healing session with Michele in the treatment room next to the barn. If you would like yet more pampering there is an amazing salon five minutes away in Chilcompton village called “Mowhay” (www.mowhaytreatments.com). Advance booking recommended!

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 six!) 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!
