Please note: Greener Camping Club membership is required to stay at Dowlais Farm. Please add at checkout.

Dowlais Farm was bought by business partners David, Kathrin, John and Lucy in 2017 and the restoration process was started immediately. The first step was to move the landscaping business run by David and John onto the premises.  The farmhouse was very run down but after a lot of TLC David and Kathrin moved in in May 2018. The same year the sheep were added to the farm and a year later our chickens joined us. ​

Due to the size of the farm and the number of outbuildings the renovation process continues and we are currently turning the barn adjacent to the farmhouse into holiday lets. The two units will be available to rent later in 2022.

Since spring 2022 Dowlais Farm is also proud to be part of the Greener Camping Club. All Greener Camping Club campsites are carefully assessed for their sustainability, impact on the environment and opportunities for wildlife.

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.

Gurt Yurt  At Batch Campsite

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.
