Due to popular demand, and in anticipation of a long, hot, BBQ summer – we are now delighted to be stocking locally made charcoal for your BBQ. This charcoal will also be great for getting a good heat going on the campfire for the dutch ovens!

A Trip to Maunsel Lock
Mark, Will, and I took a trip to Maunsel Lock at the weekend, to feed the ducks and look at the boats. We’d not been before, and had heard lovely things about the place, so thought we’d pop along so that we could see if it was worth recommending to our yurters. At just under…
What a Summer!
Well we are almost at the end of our first summer season, and it’s been fabulous! We’ve met some lovely couples and families, who have loved our yurts as much as we do 🙂 We’ve been delighted with how popular we have been, and really hope we can build on this for next year. Speaking…
Campfire Cooking
We received our lovely new Dutch Oven this weekend, and couldn’t wait to test it out! Mark made a small campfire and we hooked it all up ready to brown off some sausages for a little stew. I must say it was lovely to be sitting al fresco listening to the oven sizzling away –…
West Somerset Railway
Last weekend, Mark and I took baby Will for an afternoon out to the coast 🙂 We thought we ought to start visiting some of the local things you can see and do near the farm. As we have tickets for the West Somerset Railway available to purchase at a discount from the farm, we…
Out and about the Quantocks
Having grown up here I tend to take the surroundings for granted, but want to make sure we do justice in promoting the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which the farm borders. So this morning I thought I’d see how long it took to get to a couple of points on the Quantocks from…
Planning Permission Granted!
We are delighted to announce that planning permission has now been granted for Somerset Yurts! This means we have a very busy Winter ahead of us, as we convert part of the Dutch Barn into a kitchen, bathroom, and communal area for our yurt guests. We also have some landscaping to do, including the planting…
Back at the Farm
Well, after a couple of years of thinking, talking, and planning – we are now back at the Farm for good 🙂 We’ve left the rat race to become farmers, and to set up the yurts! We moved late June, and things have been non stop since! Mark has been busy getting into the farming…
Out to Pasture
A couple of weekends ago, the weather and ground were deemed good enough to let the herd out to pasture for the first time since being overwintered in the Barn. I’d never seen this amazing event before, so I grabbed my camera to capture the ladies of the herd heading out to pasture. Mark and…
Spring has Sprung at Somerset Yurts!
What a beautiful day we’ve had on the Quantocks today – rather chilly, but fabulous blue skies and plenty of sunshine. I had a wander around the farm this afternoon, armed with my camera, to try and capture signs of Spring. I didn’t have to look very far! The garden pond is absolutely crammed with…
