4. Offas Dyke Retreat

92km from Glastonbury · 5 units · Glamping · England

A holiday taking in two countries – a tad ambitious? Not in the slightest. Take off to Offa’s Dyke Retreat and such escapades are very easy indeed, as you’re almost on the border of England and Wales, with plenty of gorgeous scenery and outdoorsy antics on both sides of the divide. Site is set in 3 acres with new 2023 communal space, including games room sofa snug, dinning area, new wet rooms and kitchen to be complete December 2023. You can start gazing at that scenery without even leaving this friendly glamping site in the little village of Longtown, for the outlook here is one of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park. Ready for a closer look? Get those boots on and set off for a wander. The Offa’s Dyke path passes nearby on its way from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye, and there are lots of little local paths to explore too. A stroll of a much less strenuous variety (barely a 7 minute, in fact) takes you to the local pub for home-cooked meals, local ales. If you can manage a little further (a 6 minutes walk), you can get to a fab village shop stacked with fresh and frozen food, local tipples and homemade cakes. Stock up there and trot back to the site for a picnic or barbecue (firepit provided, with firewood available to buy on site), or use the well-equipped communal kitchen to prep your eats. 5 ensuite railway carriages with kitchenette, 2 pods and 3 further carriages use shared facilities on site include a toilet block with a couple of showers; no need to bring your own towels, as you’ll be provided with these when you get here, along with bedding for your cosy sleeping quarters.

2 nights at South Downs Offgrid Cabin

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.

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

Exmoor National Park

A dark sky reserve and haven for wildlife and culture, Exmoor National Park is just over an hour west from Glastonbury. Speed down mountain bike trails, head to Wimbleball Lake for canoeing and fishing, or wander to the shoreline for rock pooling when the tides recede. Stay in star-gazer tents with clear-panel roofs to view the night sky from the comfort of a cosy double bed, while tea warms on the stove. There’s also an abundance of holiday parks, some with riverside pitches that offer wifi access, shower facilities, and dog-wash stations.

Cheddar Gorge

The awe-inspiring cliffs and caves of Cheddar Gorge are found just 30 minutes north of Glastonbury in Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Explore the underground passageways, rock climb the 450-foot high limestone cliffs, or conquer the Cliff-Top Walk to take in spectacular views of Somerset Hills at the top of the gorge. Rent a vintage Airstream with a king-size bed, park the caravan at a holiday park with full hookups, or opt for a wood-frame cabin rental with a spa-like bathroom.

Blackdown Hills Area of Natural Beauty

An hour drive southwest brings campers to Blackdown Hills Area of Natural Beauty.

A classic representation of the English countryside, the area of Blackdown Hills encompasses picturesque villages with traditional pubs, sprawling farmland, and forests filled with wildlife. Experience the biodiversity in Halsdon Nature Reserve, or head to Culm Valley and explore walking and cycling trails. Pitch a tent in a field with sweeping open skies and convenient access to toilets, showers, and potable water. Holiday parks for caravans are also available—some feature private firepits, picnic tables, and wifi.

When to go

Around Glastonbury, summers are sunny and winters are rainy, brisk, and windy. The best time to experience the great outdoors is June until late September. Rain starts in October and lightens up in March. Summer months are drier, though light drizzles occur sporadically. A variety of festivals occur from spring until fall, like the Dark Sky Festival in Exmoor National Park in October.
