Torre Yarlington Yurt

For the ultimate Somerset experience come and stay in our award winning Yarlington yurt. It is nestled within the trees of our secluded 6 ½ acre orchard, on the edge of the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Yarlington is heated by way of a lovely wood burner with main electric throughout. Outside has a hand crafted outside covered kitchen/dinning area, with a mini fridge, sink and hob, plus a BBQ and fire pit area, making it the perfect get away, whatever the weather! 

Yarlington Yurt is set  back in the middle of our beautiful orchard, therefore slightly more secluded, making it perfect for a romantic getaway. It sleeps 2 in a bespoke, hand crafted double bed and has two single floor mattresses available. There are electricity sockets, USB charging points and lighting. The interior has been decked out to a high standard, using aged cedar and repurposed apple wood, which has been hand carved by our friends and local artists Karina and Rob Heard MBE. You will find a log burner to ensure the tent is cosy on colder days. 

Outside Yarlington has a covered outside patio area with a fully equipped compact kitchen, and a dining area for you to sit out on and watch the abundant wildlife that calls our orchard home. Here you will find a Webber master touch BBQ for all your outdoor cooking needs. There is also a designated seating area and firepit, perfect for toasting marshmallows whilst you enjoy the incredibly dark skies offered by the protected Exmoor Dark Skies reserve, one of the darkest places in the country. You will find some books on astronomy and a dark sky guide inside the tent to help you identify what you are looking at and you may wish to download a Sky app onto your mobile phone, on a clear night you might even see the milky-way! . 

There is a communal utilities block with outdoor sinks and where you will find your allocated wet room with a toilet and shower solely for your use no more than 20meters away. Children and adults alike will love to explore the orchard and we have a specially designed trail to excite and delight. Inside the tent you will find a small selection of games, books and puzzles for you to enjoy. The glamping units are situated on the far side of the site, and are well separated from the public areas.

Torre Cider Farm is an award-winning small scale cider producer. The farm has a Farmhouse Kitchen, selling delicious home-made breakfasts, lunches, pizza, snacks and cakes. There is also a farm shop which stocks locally produced foods and craft products, as well as Torre Cider's own cider and apple juice, pressed on site from our apples. There is a children's playground and a number of very friendly farm animals to feed and pet. We have plenty of local walks you’ll want to take once you see what the countryside has to offer, just ask a member of our team for more information. When you are worn out, but the children are still raring to go, they can clamber onto the stationary tractor in our playground whilst you enjoy a well-earned cuppa or cider on our patio. You are also very welcome to bring the doggy members of your family to Torre Cider Farm although we do ask that they be kept off the beds, are on a lead in public areas and are never left unattended inside. Please be aware we are a quiet campsite and ask for no loud music please and quiet after 10pm to ensure all guests enjoy their stay. 

We are a working farm, there are some clearly marked areas where moving farm machinery and equipment mean extra care is needed and your access is restricted, and, for your own safety, we ask that you do not enter any of our barns, sheds or outbuildings. We ask guests not to enter our onsite apiary or any of the animal pens during their stay as even the friendliest animal can become unpredictable when frightened. At Torre Cider we love wildlife of all sizes and to encourage them onto our site we have instigated a no-mow policy in some areas of our orchard, this means that as well as seeing some beautiful wild flowers you may encounter a few stinging nettles along the way. Other things to note Please be aware we are a working farm with the apple harvest being picked during the Autumn months of September and October. 

As a tourist attraction visitors will be onsite during the day, however, the glamping area of the orchard is not open to the public and this is clearly marked. The firelighters and logs for your first fire are provided, further supplies can be purchased onsite or locally. Charcoal for the BBQ is available to purchase onsite. As a glamper you will have out of hours access to both the children's playground and orchard so why not have an evening BBQ or picnic with a glass of cider or two amongst the apple trees. We also have a great local pub, The White Horse Inn, within walking distance.
