About Black Pig Retreats

This little farm is the perfect destination for a rural escape, offering three luxury safari tents, a unique straw bothy and a beautiful yurt. Finalists in Dorset Businesses Environmental Awards 2019

Black Pig Retreats offers the perfect escape for families, couples or large groups of friends. Each property can be booked separately or the whole site is perfect for a large get-together.

They are renowned for being kind on the environment and supporting Dorset businesses.

Spend your days exploring the idyllic farm and your evenings relaxing on the large deck looking out across the Blackmore Vale. There are plenty of local attractions to be enjoyed on a rainy day and the famous beach at West Bay is only an hour's drive when the British sun beats down.
The farm itself is home to horses, sheep, chickens, dogs and the famous black pigs, Beauty and Belle. Visit in the Spring and you will experience lambing first hand, or Autumn to feast on blackberries and enjoy fabulous sunsets.

Two of the tents situated in a wild meadow, Murciano and Gascon, sleep six people: king bedroom, twin bedroom and enclosed double cabin bed.
Further down the hill from Murciano and Gascon is our perfect little yurt, Piglet, which offers a king sized bed, cosy wood burner and bespoke field kitchen and modern WC.
The third tent, Mukota, is situated in a secluded flat meadow opposite the Bothy and sleeps four people: king bedroom and twin room. The Bothy is perfect for couples and includes an outdoor shower!

All of the tents have en-suite facilities including hot showers, flushing loos and heated towel rails. The kitchens are fully equipped with small fridge-freezer, gas hob and wood-fired oven as well as crockery and cutlery. There are no mains electricity sockets, but each tents has two USB ports for charging devices. There is no WiFi, but 4G is available on most networks.

The Straw Bothy is newly furnished for a couple but there are 2 singles for children. This is for the more adventurous as the kitchen and loo are placed nearby in a Chuck wagon with an outdoor shower. Simply gorgeous enjoying a hot water shower under the tree canopy.
