For the ultimate Somerset experience come and stay in our award winning Dabinett yurt, nestled within the trees of our secluded 6 ½ acre orchard, on the edge of the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Dabinett has a hand crafted, bespoke bed and is heated by way of a lovely wood burner with mains electric throughout. Outside has a hand crafted, 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! The space outside Dabinett Yurt is set in the middle of our beautiful orchard. 

Dabinett sleeps 2 in a bespoke double bed and has two single floor mattresses available. There is a dedicated toilet and shower found in the nearby utilities block, just a few steps away. 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. Externally Dabinett 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! The glamping units are situated on the far side of the site, and are well separated from the public areas. There is a communal utilities block with outdoor sinks and where you will find your allocated toilet and shower solely for your use. The children will love to explore the orchard and we have a specially designed trail to excite and delight them. Inside the tent you will find a small selection of games, books and puzzles for you to enjoy.

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 are kept off the beds, are on a lead in public areas and are never left unattended inside it. 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. 

As 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 spooked 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. 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 very good local pub, The White Horse inn, within walking distance.

We decided initially to stay at The Dabinett Yurt as it was similar to our surname “Dabin” and we thought this must be a sign. It absolutely was! We cannot thank the hosts enough. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home and comfortable during our stay at Torre Cider Farm and felt like a member of the family straight away. It’s clear to see the hard work and dedication that has gone into the Glamping, from the handcrafted designs to the unique home furnishings. We took our two small boys, and the Dabinett Yurt accommodated our family of 4 perfectly. Upon arrival we had a clear understanding of check in, fire safety, and local amenities. The farm shop was well stocked and the cafe had delicious meals to which we took full advantage of during our stay. Especially the delicious handmade pizzas on Saturday night! We will be back without a doubt, and we cannot wait to plan our next trip soon. Hopefully with some additional family members next time!

A beautiful place to glamp. Quiet, private and peaceful surrounded by apple orchards in the spring sunshine with the sound of lambs during the day and owls at night. Magical toasting marshmallows on the open fire in such an unspoiled area. The local pub was very good too and a short walk away. The owners are super friendly, charming and helpful. Nothing too much trouble attitude. They have worked hard to not only have a beautiful home but to provide top quality glamping at affordable prices with a real personal touch. My daughter LOVED it and got to feed the lambs which was a very special treat. We felt totally comfortable and we will definitely be back.

My family had an absolutely delightful time at this place. The staff were incredibly friendly, the farm exuded charm, and our tent was adorable. Gemma went above and beyond, offering numerous fantastic recommendations. We savored the delicious breakfast at the café each morning, served by wonderfully kind staff. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.

We had an excellent time in the Yurt. The kids loved it! Especially the farm animals and playground on site. Lots to do in the local area, like fossil hunting on the beach and a trip to the zoo. The weather wasn’t great but we still had a lovely time hanging out in the tent. It was very comfortable and everything we could have needed was provided. Would love to stay again in the future!
