Glamping in a working orchard - Dragon Orchard Retreat
Accommodation & Facilities
Dragon Orchard Retreat offers yurts and a one-bedroom apartment set among apple, pear, and plum trees.

The Dragon Nest apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, a large bath, and a dining area for board games.

Guests can cycle the nearby lanes and explore the 80-acre orchard on foot. Four resident pigs eat windfall apples, and visitors collect orchard fruit to feed them each morning. BBQ facilities and a terrace with outdoor furniture allow al fresco dining under the orchard canopy.
