Located in the picturesque Ledbury, Herefordshire, within the Heart of England, Dragon Orchard Retreat offers a unique accommodation experience with two charming yurts designed for both romantic getaways and family holidays. Each yurt boasts a spacious 18-foot diameter, comfortably accommodating up to four guests. They are equipped with essential amenities, including a cozy double bed, a pull-out sofa bed, an outdoor decking area with patio seating, and a kitchenette. Guests can enjoy al fresco cooking using the fire bowl and grill, creating a warm atmosphere for star-gazing or simply relaxing under the night sky.
The yurts feature distinct interiors, with Cai Yurt showcasing a vibrant red and yellow theme, complete with a sun mural and hand-painted furniture. This yurt offers a raised bed with a quirky ladder for access and includes a power supply alongside a small electric cooker. Nearby, guests will find a private shower, composting eco-toilet, and an outside tap for convenience. In contrast, Ash Yurt provides a more secluded experience, nestled among trees and perched on a raised deck that offers stunning views of the Marcle Ridge and May Hill. It includes a double bed, a comfy sofa bed, and cooking facilities with a two-burner camp stove, along with similar outdoor amenities for privacy and comfort.
Dragon Orchard Retreat is set within a 22-acre orchard, lovingly maintained by the Stanier family for over a century. The retreat invites guests to immerse themselves in nature and adopt a slower, more tranquil pace of life. Whether staying in one of the handcrafted yurts or the spacious self-catered studio apartment known as Dragon Nest, visitors are promised an enchanting experience that fosters a sense of connection to the land. The accommodations are designed to ensure privacy and comfort, allowing guests to recharge after exploring the orchard or the surrounding area.
The retreat emphasizes the importance of detaching from the fast pace of modern life to reconnect with nature. With its serene environment and focus on wellness, Dragon Orchard Retreat aims to provide a rejuvenating experience that leaves guests feeling grounded and energized. The location is also enriched by cultural highlights, including the Butcher Row House Museum and the International Centre for Birds of Prey, making it an ideal destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in the heart of Herefordshire.
