4 nights at Poole Farm
The pod is located in a private farm and felt like a little escape from the rest of the world. The view of Woolacombe bay from the pod is stunning and if you're lucky with the weather, the sunset view is incredible too. The pod is well equipped and spacious enough for 2 adults and an infant (we were able to fit a travel cot inside too!). Would highly recommend this to anyone travelling to the area!

Weekend Trip to Nettle and Dock Farm
We couldn't have been happier with the dome, it had everything we needed. The area is tranquil, peaceful and quiet which was exactly what we needed for a break away. The hot tub was lovely and calm. Ilona was a brilliant host and we can't thank her enough for letting us stay.
You most definitely need to try the honey at the barn.
We were lucky enough to stay here during a meteor shower and the dome was perfect for star gazing.
We will 100% be booking here again!

Absolutely loved our stay here. It's very peaceful, tranquil and quiet. The location is beautiful with some great wildlife, we saw deer feeding in the early mornings and evenings less than 100 metres from our glamping dome. The dome itself was very spacious and had everything we could've wanted. Nettle and dock is perfect for those who want to escape the modern world and immerse themselves in nature.

Weekend Trip to Poole Farm
A lovely secluded location, perfect for some chill, quiet time away from business of life. Also a perfect base camp from which to easily explore beaches, coast paths and much more!

Weekend Trip to Barley Hill Pod
We have just come back from a wonderful 2 nights at the Barley Hill Pod a peaceful private space in the Somerset countryside. The Pod had everything you need to make it comfortable, including a double bed, proper toilet and shower, fridge with freezer box and under floor heating! The real bonus is the completely private electric hot tub overlooking the stream and fields where we saw Deer and birds and squirrels. Even has a little duck pond opposite to have a wonder round with 4 friendly ducks. You do need to walk across a grass field to get to the Pod but it’s only about 200m from where you park the car and it’s totally worth it for the privacy you get! We just used a trolley to pull our stuff over. I would 100% recommend and we will definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Poole Farm
We had a great stay in the pod! John was very helpful and quickly responded to any questions, and he’d even left scones for us when we arrived. The pod was well equipped with everything we needed, from towels and shampoo to a bbq with coals and utensils. Check in process was super easy and the pod was very clean and surprisingly spacious. The views were so pretty and we had a wonderful stay. Would definitely come back again!

Had a beautiful stay. The hut was clean and well equipped. The shower was a bit lacking but better than nowt. I particularly loved that the hut was enclosed in its own paddock so my dog was contained and I could relax. The bed was comfortable and I slept like a log. Had a visit from a peacock as the sun went down each evening, how cool!
