Dowlais Farm Camping

There are shower facilities on site as well as composting toilets and washing up stations. We have limited shelter for those rainy summer days so please check the weather forecast and pack appropriately. Due to the nature of this campsite we are not permitted to have campervans, caravans or motorhomes stay with us - it’s tents only I’m afraid, but you can park your car right next to your camp. 

Small fires are allowed at your camp but only if you are using a fire pit or similar (has to be off the ground) and are being sensible with it. We will try to keep a supply of fire wood on site for sale.

The site is in the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set in your own private  meadow surrounded on three sides by woodland, the yurt is an oasis for wild life. You may be lucky enough to get a visit from our local deer who often amble into your own meadow, normally in the morning. You will certainly be serenaded by the wild birds.

Gurt Yurt
Own meadow and wash house inc. hot shower etc
Min two nights £250 two nights for two people. Max 4 in Yurt


On Gurt Yurt Meadow (as extra tents)
£80 per night  for 4 people (max)  Includes tent, campbeds and chairs for 4 people and cooking utensils



**Facilities:** The yurt has a king sized brass bed and the bedding is Egyptian cotton. The skylight lets you stargaze all night. As well as a wood burning stove there is an electric blanket,hot water bottles, woollen blankets and an electric heater for extra comfort on chilly nights. The veranda is great for watching the sun sink at the end of the day. Hammocks, a picnic table and barbecue area with seating, swings and badminton are available outside. We have some impressive sunsets over the Severn Estuary from May through to August.

You have your own private hot shower and wash house next to the yurt, along with wash basin and eco toilet. Inside the yurt is a fridge, kettle, toaster and single hot plate, along with all the kitchenware you'll need, so you don’t have to brave the elements for a cuppa on chilly mornings.
Outside is a double sink with drinking water running hot and cold with sprays and soaps supplied.
 Down on the ground sheltered beside the verandah is the barbecue area with an unlimited supply of wood and a big steel firepit to cook up a storm or just slowly warm up a few of our marshmallows on our special forks.

**Local Area:** There are many well-regarded pubs within walking distance at either end of the Batch. The Crown and the Nelson at the bottom of the hill(10-15 mins walk), the Star and the Swan(15-20mins walk - you may want to book beforehand) in the opposite direction and Thatcher’s Railway Inn over in Sandford. Churchill village is 15minutes walk away on the western edge of the Mendip Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, about 8 miles east of Weston-super-Mare, and about 15 miles south-west of Bristol.The village has a busy post office selling food and drink and dispensing cash as well as having a small cafe. There are many walks, cycle paths including the famous Strawberry line, and other outdoor activities nearby. Cheddar offers many beautiful walks, trails, cycle paths and lovely tea shops, and is also walkable from the yurt (about three hours!).

**Your neighbours:** You may find deer, foxes, squirrels, owls and the unseen badgers hanging out already. The rescue chickens will almost be certainly be round to check you out. The meadow has a variety of wild flowers including wild orchids. The wood behind the yurt is a mix of ash, oak, hazel and hawthorn hiding you from view for most of the year.

Perry’s Paddock

With views over Somerset The Boreal Belle is colourful and cosy, with rugs, throws, cushions and a king-size bed with luxury bedding. There are drawers to store your clothes, a sofa to relax on and a table and chairs for indoor dining, all finished with those extra luxury touches and of course bunting and fairy lights.

The sofa can become a bed and bedding provided for separate sleeping arrangements or for an extra person when notified in advance.

The tents are equipped with Crockery, Cutlery, pans etc along with a large cool box to keep your Prosecco cold on the warm evenings. There is an ordnance survey map of the local area, information books and a pair of mini binoculars to help you enjoy your stay. Tea, coffee etc are provided in Cheats Kitchen where you will find the electric kettle, toaster, fridge freezer and extra charging points for phones etc.

Outdoor games are also available in case you would like to enjoy a game of croquet or maybe quoits?

Your first basket of logs/kindling/firelighters and a pack of charcoal are provided with extras available in the honesty shop. Complimentary water from Cheddar Springs and Honey from our bee hives at Owley can also be found here.

Equipped with almost everything you need, just bring clothes, towels, provisions and a torch for stress free camping!

Powered by Nature!

Our tents are off grid, so we provide a solar portable power pack with USB sockets for phone charging (just in case you want to stay in touch with the outside world!), and solar lights for those darker evenings.

Lotus Belle Tents really are the top of the range tents made from heavy duty weatherproof canvas. With plenty of room to move around and stand up, it really doesn’t feel like you’re camping! They have a roomy porch area which further extends the living area and is ideal for outdoor clothes, muddy boots etc, there is space for all your needs, and then topped with a leafy green cover to protect the bats and wildlife from any light spill.

Outside of your tent, you have a seating area with comfy chairs and table and wood fired stove to boil a kettle or cook breakfast on. To keep you warm and cosy on the cooler summer evening, each tent has a fire pit with additional available hanging grill if you really want to explore your culinary skills.

Our onsite facilities were brand new in 2021 and we love our heated wood clad amenity block which has two bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers with a separate undercover washing up sink.

We are open from March - October and have a two night minimum stay (you will wish you stayed longer!)
