I was not quite sure what to expect, as pods were a new thing for us. Chosen mainly for being a convenient location for our stay, and because something different appealed, the pods turned out to be an excellent choice. Quite small but not too small, and very cosy and comfortable, with everything we needed. Everything was very clean, with lovely decor, nicely equipped kitchenette, and a good sized modern bathroom. Very friendly owner who made a point of being there to welcome us and show us around. Nice outside area with seating, a nice view over the fields, and BBQ facilities, although the weather - autumn gales and rain for much of out time - wasn't conducive to taking full advantage! Overall, a super place for a peaceful break in the countryside, conveniently close to places such as Bath.

    “We had a last minute few days away in the pods. They were well equipped in beautiful surroundings with lots of things to do a short drive away. The pods were lovely and exceeded our hopes, even having bread, butter, jam, tea and coffee on arrival.”

Property info

The Pods provide the ideal glamping experience for those wanting a slice of the countryside and a back-to-nature staycation but still with all the amenities of a warm bed, kitchen and shower. The views across the valley from the front of The Pods are stunning - guests will love a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine sat out on the patio taking in the country air and far-reaching views. Sleeping four people in two bedrooms, The Pods are also the ideal location for families and couples to explore the Fosse Way and the Somerset countryside from. The Roman city of Bath and the seaside towns of Western Super Mare and Burnham on Sea are also only a short drive away. The main pod consists of a double bedroom, small lounge, kitchenette and shower room. The kitchenette has a microwave, portable stove top, toaster, kettle and fridge so guests can still cook up a meal if staying in. Wi-Fi is available in the main pod and included during your stay, plus access to a washing machine, ironing board and iron through a private entrance into the downstairs cloakroom of the farmhouse. The second bedroom - the twin - is located in a separate pod, located approx 15 meters away and separated by a path through the trees. It's the perfect solution for children wanting to escape the parents and feel like they're having their adventure (or is that parents wanting to escape from the kids!) Please note, as the second bedroom pod is a short walk from the main pod, parents should be confident that their children (and they!) will be happy to sleep separately and will enjoy the seclusion of an independent sleeping area. During the winter months, we have converted the outdoor porch of the main pod into an upgraded, insulated dining area equipped with a table and chairs, comfortably accommodating four guests. This addition provides a weatherproof social space, complete with a fully glazed external door to allow you to fully enjoy the surrounding views. Updated photos arriving in Spring.

Neighborhood info

Off-street parking is provided a few meters away from the pods. Please note that the pods are in the curtilage of the owner's country farmhouse. There are a few pubs within 2 miles of The Pods and the nearest supermarket is only a 3 mile drive. The Pods are equidistant between the historic city of Wells and Bath. Both provide a great day out with plenty of attractions, cafes and restaurants - and lots of things to do even on rainy days! Wookey Hole Caves and Adventure Centre is only a short drive away and the perfect day out for families; while if guests prefer peaceful countryside walks then the endless trails right from the front door leaves you spoiled for choice.
