Fordhall Organic Farm Yurts

*Spend a magical holiday in our Shropshire-made Mongolian yurts, privately situated on our 140 acre organic farm in Shropshire’s Tern Valley. Our yurts are perfect for a romantic hideaway or a family adventure. Complete with compost toilet, camping shower, beds, wood burner, gas BBQ, bed linen for 4 and even a kitchen sink. At the right time of year there is also an edible garden including marigolds, mint, gooseberries and damson trees, meaning you won’t have to go far for that quick snack! Our two yurts are interconnected, providing the perfect getaway for up to six people. One is used as the bedroom and the other the living space. Epitomising the glamping offer (glamorous camping) whilst still providing you with the feeling of camping out with nature, we want you to feel spoilt and inspired. There is a gas powered cool box for example, but nowhere to plug in your hair straighteners or toothbrush! (Also no Wi-Fi) The yurts are insulated with sheep’s wool, have cotton sheets on the beds, decking to sit out and admire the views along the Tern Valley, and a book shelf stocked with everything you could ever want. A holiday in our yurts is about enjoying and feeling part of nature, with that little bit of extra comfort. Plus you have the farm shop and Arthur’s Farm Kitchen not too far away yurts for those essentials, such as a cooked breakfast, Sunday roast or pack of free range Gloucester Old Spot sausages! We have farm trails to explore, woodlands to hide in, dens to make, trees to climb, tyre swings, ropes, chainsaw carvings and lots of wildlife to spot. The farm and nature itself are the best children’s playground you can have. We also provide lots of books filled with ideas for outdoor games. Plus all visiting children are given the opportunity to help out Farmer Ben by keeping a watchful eye on the livestock, looking out for problems, counting them and reporting back to our young farmer. The Farm Shop sells a variety of produce: Milk, butter and bread, seasonal vegetables, cheeses, drinks, jams, chutneys, drinks, sweets, biscuits, cakes, ice cream, pies, cooked meats, butchery counter, beer, cider, wines. Arthur’s Farm Kitchen serves cooked breakfasts, hot lunches, Sunday Roasts, light bites, cakes and drinks.
