About this property

Cai Yurt bespoke yurt with Outdoor Shower

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.

Wonderfully peaceful and comfortable

The whole setup was excellent; situated in a stunning location that wasn't overlooked, the yurt had kitchen amenities that were perfect for a weekend away. The compost loo and shower, plus washing-up facilities, made staying in the yurt really comfortable.

Lovely yurt in a great location. Owners very friendly and accommodating.

Had a lovely 2 night break. The Yurt was lovely, very clean, tidy and good facilities - the Apple juice and Chutney were lovely!! Ann was particularly friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.

Relaxing family time, in the most beautiful location.

Yurt was lovely, well equipped and clean. The view when you openes the door in the morning was beautiful. We lived our korning walks through the orchards to see the pigs. We loved the pause on our busy family life in this beautiful place. Hoping to stay again.

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.

Simply wonderful.

We were excited about a family weekend away in a yurt in an orchard and Dragon Retreat didn't disappoint. We went in early October which meant the trees were laden with all sorts of types of apples and, despite cold nights, we were very cosy in the yurt. Crackling fires, hot showers under the trees, the occasional thud of another apple falling from a tree and a lovely local area to explore. We hope to come again, perhaps for apple blossom season. Thank you to Anne and Norman, the lovely hosts.

Peaceful comfortable retreat

My young children lived staying in the yurt, some flexible bed options and with the fire on very toasty. It was very quiet and peaceful in the orchard and well equipped with pans, wood, kettle etc. Outside shower was warm and quite refreshing in the rain. It was a bit hard to keep it clean during the rainy weather without a porch but there was cleaning bits for us to use.

A wonderful, peaceful space to relax and unwind - everything you need, and nothing you don't!

The Ash Yurt was an ideal place to spend a weekend unwinding in nature, and even inside the yurt it feels like you're still part of the countryside, which is a sensation you don't get in a 'proper' house. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and made sure I had everything I needed and knew where I was going before leaving me to my own devices. I really loved my stay there, and would definitely book to stay there again if I'm in the area in the future

The perfect getaway

Myself, my husband and our 1 year old stayed in Ash yurt and it was such a perfect weekend. The yurt has everything you’ll need and the kitchen is really well equipped. The yurt is also really spacious! The outdoor shower was hot too. We weren’t too hot or too cold at night and it was so nice and peaceful. The orchard is lovely to stroll around and go and meet the pigs! Norman and Ann are such kind and welcoming hosts. I’d definitely recommend it and we already can’t wait to go back

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!

Such a lovely break in a beautiful environment. Our hosts were helpful when needed but we were left to our own devices in the Orchard.

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.
