Situated in the picturesque cider orchard the Yurt overlooks the pond area and across the valley, stretching down to the river Wye. 

There is a large decking area, complete with seating. A separate kitchen with basic camping stove for boiling your kettle or cooking up your breakfast. Adjacent to the decking is a fire pit equipped with Kotlich cooking facilities (tripod and cooking pot) to fit and cook over an open fire.

You are welcome to bring a BBQ and charcoal if you do not wish to try cooking on the fire pit. 

There is a fridge nearby to store your groceries in and a lovely sink and washing up area in the Yurt kitchen. There is also a stand pipe for fresh water next to the Yurt. Tea towels and complimenary cleaning items are supplied.

Enjoy showering under the stars with your own private enclosed rustic outdoor shower adjacent to the kicthen, and a compost loo just above the fire pit. Making the Yurt area completely self contained.

There is free wi-fi access around the farm yard but not in the Yurt.

The farm has patchy mobile phone coverage and it varies by network provider. So why not leave your phone in the car and get away from it all!

"This was our first glamping experience and it was absolutely fantastic! We really enjoyed the tranquil environment, cooking on the stove and relaxing by the log burner! It was the perfect place to get engaged. Thank you for a lovely time"

"Such a beautiful location, so peaceful by the pond. We were really happy when three frogs came and joined us by the fire one evening"

      

 

 

  • Light: a Yoga & Massage Retreat in Nature

    A weekend of earthy delights 8-10th March 2019 at Ragmans Lane Farm

    Greeting the day with awakening vinyasa and breathwork, sharing seasonal feasts in the open kitchen, a muddy stomp along the river Wye, a grounding massage rooted in the traditions of Ayurveda and holistic bodywork, warming the bones around the hearth, illuminating yoga practice and meditation. Time for you - a weekend to prod you from the chrysalis of winter, in really good company.

    Morning & dusk yoga practices will be led by Elena; nourishing & playful sessions for all bodies/abilities to enjoy including breath work and guided meditation.

    Much coloured by her work with chakra philosophy, creative movement & mantra.

    In your picked moment you'll receive a 30 minute specialised massage treatment with Steve, helping you to unwind, relax, optimise for yoga. We'll share 3 delicious vegan/vegetarian meals each day in the sun streamed Ragman's kitchen - organic and locally sourced where possible - and stacked high with treats to fuel you for the day's adventures.

    You'll have free time for relaxation and quiet contemplation should you wish -in a variety of quiet nooks to be found around the farm's grounds and orchards. An invigorating group walk on Saturday morning will allow you to explore the wild abundance around, and there'll always be a fire burning - either inside in the living room or outside in the fire pit (or both!). The space is yours to hold as you wish, exploring it as fully as you'd like to.

    Steve Taylor:

    Before teacher training in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) in India, I trained in clinical sports massage with a Diploma from LSSM with Mel Cash; the creator of Sports Massage. My AYM teacher, James Winstanley, is a pioneer of the practice, and student of its creator, Master Kusum Modak, who built the discipline based on work with BKS Iyengar. Over the last 5 years I’ve been in Bristol, working with a varied range of sports and holistic clients, working in unison with chiropractors and in other modalities. As well as massage, I love running, philosophy, festivals, reading, cooking, conversation, Victorian stuff, ghost stories, carpentry, and films.

    Elena Byers:

    Much of my life has been spent working with the creative body. Studies in Hatha Yoga with Gaurav Malik & Kate Osman, Forrest Yoga with Guardian Jambo Truong and Vinyasa with Suzanne Lahusen. My practice taking me across the world to teach residencies in Indonesia to running workshops in London & Bulgaria. Diverse years studying movement, performance, singing and visual arts furthering my fascination with the body’s ability to creatively express. As a teacher, it inspires patience and playfulness in my classes and deep understanding of the human body. Yoga for me is the coming together of creative spirit, strong body and open mind, to feel fully alive.
