Ekopod is an award-winning glamping site and wild spa, set on the edge of Bodmin Moor’s mesmerising Dark Sky Landscape, among five glorious acres of wildflower meadows and woodland for a luxurious back-to-nature holiday.

Perfect for stargazers, digital detoxers, and lovers of sublime relaxation, seven pods await you here, with soft-glowing wood-burners, cosy beds, and incredible views all provided as standard.  The surrounding Cornish farmland – in an area known locally as “The Peaceful Valley” – teems with wildlife, while the rolling hills provide a soul-stirring backdrop.

Take a deep breath of pure air and listen to the babbling stream as you cradle a steaming mug of fresh coffee each morning… bliss.  Oh, and no-one has to miss out on that well-deserved break, as there are glamping options for couples, families, groups, and four-legged friends.

The seventeenth-century Old Vicarage (which appears in the Thomas Hardy poem ‘The Face at the Casement’) is situated next to the meadows, and looks welcomingly picturesque next to a large barn that’s home to small honesty shop and a locker for each pod (with handy power sockets for charging phones if you must!)… oh, and the site’s friendly managers, Rachael and Matt, so you can rest assured that if you have any questions, help is on hand.

All you need to do now is choose your accommodation! There are four beautifully positioned, individually-styled geodomes: Eyl, Nessa, Pewara and Kensa, each sleeping up to four people.  Two boutique safari lodges, Kemper and Ebron each sleep up to eight people, while and Steren is a deluxe pod that’s perfect for two.  No matter which you choose, you’ll find your new glamping home lovingly designed and furnished for luxury, comfort and a sense of outdoor fun!

Each self-contained pod is set in its own private space for a delicious feeling of seclusion among nature – and with an outdoor terrace, you’ll be assured of wonderful views whatever the time of day – or star-studded night.  Bathroom facilities are either provided in your pod or just a short walk away, and you’ll also have your very own kitchen – though on balmy evenings, you may prefer sizzling suppers prepared on the barbecue.

Additional treats include a wood-fired pizza oven area for you to use, and of course, that heavenly wild spa!  Nestled in the heart of the woodland and exclusively bookable by Ekopod guests, the immersive experience includes a refreshing skin scrub, a sauna elevated above the moorland stream, a cold drench shower (if you dare!) and stress-relieving forest bathing over a relaxing Wild Cornish tea… with fluffy robes and towels to wrap up in.  You’ll emerge feeling invigorated and alive, all those everyday cares obliterated.

More information

If you’re keen to explore, there’s plenty to do and see out in the countryside, so why not start simply by taking a gentle wander around the valley? On site you’ll also find a little library in the honesty shop that contains board games, books and maps for ‘rainy day’ entertainment.

Away from Ekopod, Bodmin Moor is famous for its rugged landscape and windswept adventures, whether you decide to walk, run or cycle. Literary lovers can view the inspiration for Daphne du Maurier’s ‘Jamaica Inn’ up close with the Cathedral of the Moors in the nearby village of Altarnun.  For surfing addicts, the seaside resort of Bude is a gift, with its stunning coastal walks and abundance of eating places. Or how about a day exploring the ‘St. Tropez of Britain’, the coastal village of Rock?

With something for everyone both on and off site, you’re sure to leave Ekopod feeling fully refreshed and inspired – and ready to plan your return trip!
