76km from Poole · 1 unit · Glamping
Your own private retreat with cosy furnished Hobbit House and quirky features set in your own large private mature gardens. You have an outdoor under cover kitchen with sink and gas hob and prep area, campfire with tripod grill. You have you're own flushing toilet and hot shower. You have your own entrance to the garden. The house is approx 3x3m. We provide cutlery, cooking utensils and wood for the log burner and campfire. There is an electric socket in the house next to the bed suitable for charging purposes. Arrival 3pm and vacate by noon.
The surrounding Somerset Levels aren’t just out in the sticks – they also produce them. Willow cane has been cultivated the traditional way in this part of the county for hundreds of years and can be seen growing within a mile of 5 Acres. The Levels are also a wildlife haven, making them an all-round top choice for country walks along the many trails nearby.
And while this may be a rural retreat, it's also one that's easy to get to as it's just off the A378 (no winding country lanes to negotiate for this one…) Taunton town centre, with its wide range of shops and supermarkets, is a 15-minute drive away. The closest pub and coffee shop are five minutes away by road.
Access is across our campsite which is flat grass. During wet periods it can get slippery so if conditions are against us for your stay, we'll come up with a plan on the day.

In The Guardians Top 10 Best UK Off-Grid Retreats *Dog Friendly*
Is it time for an escape from too much concrete and too many commitments? Escape Off The Grid will give you just that: this totally off-grid experience in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty is so peaceful that it’s hard to believe you’re just one-two hours from London.
So what’s on offer here? A cool, sustainably made wooden cabin with a woodburner to keep you cosy, simple but comfy furniture, and best of all, a double bed set next to vast glass windows looking out on a wonderfully quiet landscape. Chances are you’ll want to stay there all day looking down the valley… breakfast in bed may well become a necessity.
Everything is ready for you (bedding, cooking stuff, a fridge, kindling for the firepit and woodburner) so all you need to bring with you is food – pick up supplies from local farm shops – or eat at the rural pubs in the quaint local villages.
With no phone signal and no wifi connection to distract you, you’ll have all the time in the world to chill out, read a book, write a journal, hike the unknown, or meditate in nature.

If the allure of a secluded cabin, nestled deep within the countryside is too difficult to resist, then this cabin will offer a much-needed escape, blending the peacefulness of nature with the comforts of contemporary amenities.
Communication from the host outlined, step by step, everything we needed to know about the cabin, the check-in/out process, and the surrounding area. This also included directions to the cabin, advice on the best local amenities, and tips for maximising enjoyment of both the accommodation and its natural setting.
There is a designated parking area, and from there, a bit of a walk is required to reach the cabin itself. Far from being an inconvenience, this walk was the prelude to a gradual immersion in the natural environment.
While the presence of livestock, contributes to the rural charm, guests with dogs should take note, there’s a need for vigilance and respect for these resident animals.
The tranquil setting created a retreat that was both restorative and invigorating. Whether you are an adventurer at heart or simply in need of calm, this cabin offers a unique and memorable escape.

Beautiful in every way. Peaceful, quiet with stunning views. Lovely outdoor space to rest and watch the rolling hills. Anna's little touches like breakfast etc were very thoughtful. The dog loved it too. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely pod with the most wonderful view to the Uffington White Horse. Had everything I needed and more - wood-fired hot tub was a first for me!
The hosts were super-friendly snd helpful. Plus a beautiful wildflower meadow to enjoy. Would definitely recommend this for a relaxing break 😊

3 nights at The Hobbit House and Secret Garden
Lost for words. The Hobbit House and accompanying grounds kept us warm, secluded and very happy for a three night stay. Although we would happily move in permanently. Worth a visit if you’re looking for somewhere secluded, off the beaten track and something back to basics. Kitchen area is beautifully simple in design and appreance. Toilet and separate shower block were clean and easy to use. The Hobbit House itself was snug, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Theo was an excellent host too. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Cowleaze Farm
We loved our stay at the veg patch pod. It felt very homely and was lovely and cosy with the log burner. Having the hot tub on in the evening overlooking the fields enjoying a beverage made us instantly feel relaxed and this was when the weather wasn’t particularly great so it must be even better as the weather improves. The area was also lovely and we enjoyed doing a nice local walk which Katy recommended to us. Whenever we asked for anything Katy and Mark were on hand and very helpful especially having the hot tub lit and warm for us after our walk, whilst still maintaining our privacy. We wished we had booked for a little longer but we’ll probably visit again in the future for a longer stay. Also the freshly cooked bread in the welcome hamper was amazing. We have already recommended the pod to some of our friends.

Where to go
Isle of Purbeck
Forming the southern coast of Poole Harbour, the Purbeck peninsula is fringed by steep limestone cliffs and spectacular coastal walks. Hike across the sea cliffs of Old Harry Rocks, discover the atmospheric ruins of Corfe Castle, or admire the views from the Swanage steam railway. Camping along the peninsula takes you back to nature, whether staying in a forest lodge or parking your motorhome on a working farm.
Jurassic Coast
West of Purbeck, Dorset’s UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast—so-called for the dinosaur fossils found on its beaches—stretches all the way to Orcombe Point. The coastal hikes here are some of the most impressive in the UK, with soaring cliffs, crumbling castle ruins, and sandy coves. Marvel at landmarks such as the Durdle Door, stay at ocean-view campsites along the way, and don’t forget to sample the region’s famous ale, a staple in local pubs.
Cranborne Chase
Escape to the countryside in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Area AONB, just a 30-minute drive north of Poole. Enjoy leisurely walks or bike rides through the downlands, admire wildflowers and rare orchids, and camp amid patchwork farmlands. To the north, the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is within day-trip distance, while to the south, the Moors Valley Country Park and Forest is a favorite for families.
When to go
May through October has the most pleasant weather for camping in Poole, and the beaches draw big crowds in July and August. Be sure to book ahead if you plan to visit at this time. Winter campers can keep Poole on their itinerary, too. Temperatures rarely drop below freezing and sunny days are still common—just swap your tent for a motorhome or caravan.
Know before you go
- Poole has several camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up supplies for your camping trip.
- Poole has public transport links to many of the surrounding towns and attractions, but it is handy to have your own transport, especially if staying at rural campsites.
- Most campsites require advance booking, and many ask for the full payment in advance. Be sure to check opening dates, as many campsites close in the winter months.
- Wild camping is illegal throughout Dorset.
