About this property

YURTS - bespoke, hand-crafted Yurts with private outdoor shower & eco-toilet

Our two delightful yurts are perfect for a romantic, nature get-away for 2, or a cosy family yurt holiday - sleeping up to 4 people. They have a spacious 18ft diameter and come equipped with a comfy double bed, pull-out sofa bed, outside decking with patio seating and a kitchenette. There is a fire bowl with a grill available for al fresco cooking and sitting out and being warm under the stars at night.

The spectacular 5ft crown – the transparent centre of the roof – is perfect for stargazing on clear nights or cloud watching on blue sky days. The efficient Clearview wood stove which will ‘keep in’ all night, combined with the felt insulation, ensures that the space retains its warmth on cool nights. At the same time, the canvas ‘breathes’ so it’s never stuffy; a yurt is a living, breathing home.


** IMPORTANT **
If you have a preference to which yurt you wish to stay in, please tell us in the 'special requests' section of the booking form, and we will try our best to allocate you, subject to availability.


Cai Yurt has a beautiful red and yellow interior with a mural of a sun on the floor and hand-painted furniture. The main sleeping area has a raised bed with a quirky access ladder, and a comfy sofa bed to pull out if you would rather sleep closer to the ground. There is a power supply and a small electric cooker. A few steps into the orchard is a private shower, composting eco-toilet and an outside tap by the deck.

Ash Yurt is surrounded by trees and tucked away on the edge of the cider orchard and is perfect for those wanting a more secluded experience. It is sited on a raised deck at the top of a slope which allows you a wonderful feeling of spaciousness with fantastic views towards the Marcle Ridge and May Hill.

There is a double bed and comfy sofa bed. Cooking is on a two-burner camp stove. Running water is available from a tap outside near the deck. A few steps away is a private composting eco-toilet and shower unit.


Immerse yourself in nature and slow down to a gentler pace of life when you join us at Dragon Orchard Retreat. Cared for by the Stanier family for over 100 years, our idyllic 22-acre orchard lies in the beautiful, rural county of Herefordshire.

Whether you stay in one of our bespoke, hand-crafted yurts or Dragon Nest, our spacious, self-catered studio apartment, you will find intangible magic in our orchard that will weave through your time here, and leave you feeling more grounded, energised and alive.

We have specifically designed our self-contained accommodation to ensure that you have plenty of space and your own private environment during your stay at Dragon Orchard. With cosy beds and private washing and cooking facilities for all living spaces, we provide the comfort you need for retiring after a day in the orchard, or exploring the area.

Our focus is the creation of a space for people to detach from the hectic pace of modern life, and connect to nature - a 'Dragon Retreat'. We appreciate that the life we lead here, surrounded by trees and immersed in the natural cycle of the seasons, keeps us well in both body and mind - vibrant and energised.

We wish to share our connection to the land with you, and hope that you find as much serenity, wellness and vitality here as we do.

Annual highlight!
This was our third stay in Cai Yurt and it was wonderful! It’s a highlight of our year to relax amongst the trees whilst the children roam free. Highly recommend.

Tranquil, relaxing and fun stay.
We enjoyed the peacefulness, being surrounded by the fruit trees and the quirky yurt accommodation. Norman and Anne were excellent hosts and we will recommend to others.

Lovely space, peaceful surroundings and lots of freedom!
We spent two nights here with friends (stayed in the other yurt). The setting is idyllic and even if it rains (as it did non-stop for one of the days) you're close to the River Wye and can come home to a wonderful log burner (only in Ash but big enough to hold 8 adults for dinner and a much appreciated evening fire!). There was the odd drip inside - we are talking persistent rain that didn't really give up! - but it sort of made it exciting! Much freedom for kids to run free! Lovely jam too!

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Our family have tended this very special patch of Herefordshire countryside for over a century. From yeoman beginnings as a small 22-acre fruit farm, our offerings have evolved and expanded as each new generation has taken up the mantle as custodians of this land.

Since 2000, we have been welcoming people to join us at Dragon Orchard for walks and talks, art, music and food events, and many other celebratory occasions. We have cultivated a particular interest in sharing our space, its produce and our connection to local community with other people.

Since 2021, we have opened our space for people to retreat to. We offer back-to-nature, self-catered holiday stays in our unique, hand-crafted yurts or our newly renovated studio apartment. We also host community festivals, organise annual gatherings and invite others to join the various retreats and workshops held with us throughout the year.
