The Ibberton Yurt Tucked away in the peaceful Dorset village of Ibberton, at the foot of Bulbarrow Hill, our traditional Mongolian yurt offers a private countryside escape within the grounds of The Ibberton. The yurt sleeps up to four guests and combines the character and simplicity of glamping with proper home comforts. Inside there is a double bed and two single beds, along with comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, a fridge and space to relax. Guests also have their own separate private shower room with walk-in shower and toilet. Outside, the yurt has its own deck and private garden area with a covered cookhouse, gas hob and BBQ facilities. The setting is particularly peaceful, with mature trees, a running stream and very little passing traffic. On clear nights, guests can lie in bed and look up through the yurt’s central crown at the stars. The Ibberton pub is only a short walk away, serving homemade seasonal food, local ales and Dorset cider. It gives guests the choice of cooking something simple outside or wandering over for lunch, dinner or a drink without needing to drive. The area is especially good for walkers and cyclists. Footpaths and quiet lanes begin almost from the door, while the Ibberton Millennium Path runs through the parish and is waymarked locally. Maps are available from The Ibberton. Bulbarrow Hill and Ibberton Hill are close by, with far-reaching views across the Blackmore Vale and surrounding Dorset countryside. The ancient Wessex Ridgeway also passes nearby. A popular local walk links Ibberton with Bulbarrow Hill, taking around two hours and covering roughly 6–7km, while longer routes can take guests through Woolland, Milton Abbas and the surrounding chalk downland. (Tess Of The Vale) For days out, guests can explore Sturminster Newton and the North Dorset Trailway, Sherborne and its Abbey, Shaftesbury and Gold Hill, Blandford Forum and Dorchester. The Jurassic Coast is also within reach for a full day out. Guest capacity Up to 4 guests.

Parking Private on-site parking for up to 2 cars. Minimum stay Short breaks and full-week stays are available, with minimum stay requirements varying by date and season through the booking system.Located in the grounds of The Ibberton in rural Dorset, The Willow is a beautiful traditional Mongolian yurt tucked away in its own private garden beside a gently running stream. Wake to birdsong, make breakfast in your covered private cookhouse, and spend slow mornings surrounded by mature trees, countryside and almost complete peace. In the evening, switch off the lights and look up through the yurt’s central viewing crown at the stars — with so little light pollution, clear nights here are genuinely special. Inside, the spacious yurt sleeps up to four guests and combines traditional character with proper comfort. There is a large double bed, two single beds, comfortable seating, a fridge, tea and coffee facilities, Wi-Fi and plenty of room to relax. Guests also have their own private shower room nearby with a walk-in shower and toilet. Outside, the yurt has a large deck, private seating area, BBQ and two-burner gas stove, giving you the choice of cooking outside or simply wandering over to The Ibberton for seasonal homemade food, local ales and a drink by the fire. The setting is wonderfully rural. The lane serves only a handful of nearby homes, so traffic is rare — you are more likely to see a horse or tractor pass than a stream of cars. Footpaths and quiet lanes begin close by, with walks towards Bulbarrow Hill, Ibberton Hill and the Blackmore Vale, making this a lovely base for walking, cycling or simply doing very little at all. The Willow is designed for guests who want privacy, character and a real sense of escape, while still having the warmth and convenience of a traditional country pub only moments away.
