Can you imagine transporting an opulent five-star hotel suite deep into the heart of tranquil, other-worldly Somerset countryside?

That’s exactly what a break at Hadspen Glamping feels like: all the freedom, fresh air and simple joys of rural life, combined with indulgent delights that make a holiday feel truly special.

Each of the three wood-and-canvas safari lodges you’ll discover here is unique in its own irresistible way, affectionately named after a quarry in the local area and individually styled to sleep families of four to seven guests in blissful off-grid comfort.

Whichever lodge you choose, you can expect to find luxuries that include a fully-equipped kitchen and an en-suite shower room (this is glamping, so there’ll be no midnight dashes to a communal washroom), with an expansive, scenery-showcasing veranda and a stargazing hot tub for good measure.

Choose the gloriously laid-back and creative Horscombe Lodge – which sleeps up to three adults and one child – for the most unique hot tub dip you’ll ever experience… in a copper tub skilfully transformed from an antique cheese vat!

Lime Kiln Lodge sleeps up to four adults and one child, in charming surroundings that are reminiscent of a quaint country cottage. Last but by no means least, contemporary, clean-lined Grisway Lodge is the largest, sleeping up to six adults and one child in three design-led bedrooms.

If you thought the treats ended there, think again! You can also choose from a range of hampers to make your stay even more luxurious… think freshly-made cream teas, delicious local-produce picnics and barbecues, pampering spa products, chocolates and soft fairy lights.

More information

Oh, and if you’re still hungry but in no mood to cook, there’s always the option of arranging a food delivery direct to your lodge from The Newt in Somerset. Just next door, the award-winning estate boasts everything from a farm shop and a garden restaurant, to whispering orchards and a Roman villa.

So while you won’t need to travel too far to find good food and idyllic relaxation, Hadspen Glamping is also a perfect base from which to savour everything Somerset is known and loved for.

A mere 25-minute stroll will take you to the warmly welcoming Montague Inn, a traditional country pub, or take your picnic hamper on a longer hike through the surrounding hills and countryside. Bicycles are even available on site, for those who prefer exploring on wheels.

You could also opt to explore the famed Cheddar Gorge (and sample some delicious cheese while you’re there) and Wookey Hole Caves. Pay a visit to the charming nearby towns of Castle Cary and Bruton… or head slightly further afield to the cities of Bath and Wells, for a spellbinding day of history and culture.
