A uniquely peaceful Somerset glamping site set around two ponds in its own beautiful wildlife garden.

On the fringes of the Mendip Hills in deepest Somerset there's a slice of enchanting land known locally as 'The Brew'. It was created over 200 years ago by the local Oakhill Brewery and has at its heart an old pleasure garden with ponds, waterfalls and an extraordinary grotto that is gently being restored after years of neglect. Its new owners are re-wilding and developing it into a 21st-century sanctuary for buzzards and kingfishers, butterflies and bats, even a family of a deer, while at the same turning part of it into a private and uniquely peaceful glamping site that is yours to discover – 'Glamping at The Brew'.

There's a combination of off-grid and on-grid experiences at 'The Brew'. Off-grid there are six luxury Lotus bell-tents: each has a proper king-sized bed, with duvets, blankets, towels, a hot water bottle and chests of drawers for your clothes; immediately outside there's an outdoor table and two chairs, a kettle and mugs for coffee and tea, while a compost loo and cabin showers are close at hand. You could even take a morning dip in the spring-fed ponds if it took your fancy!

On-grid there is a large and very comfortable yurt, enticingly positioned in the old walled garden a couple of minutes' walk from the tents, a great communal space. Here you have more privacy, with your own shower room and two (yes two!) flushing loos. The yurt has sofas and chairs, indoor and outdoor dining tables, bluetooth and wifi, and – we're not kidding! – its own vinyl collection and turntable. There's an outdoor kitchen and a garden room which provides space for reading and writing, games and books, art materials and binoculars. The garden room has a double sofa-bed and can also be used as an extra bedroom if camping off-grid is too hardcore. The garden itself has a barbecue and pizza oven plus a firepit and even its own water-feature, which you can admire from a handwoven swing.

The site is on the edge of a quiet village and is perfect for families with older children or groups of friends who want to enjoy a chilled break amid nature in a special and accessible location. There's a large canopy that provides cover for a gathering-space complete with beanbags and cushions. As for the ponds, they are quite large and on two levels, with a waterfall between them: the lower one is being developed for wildlife, while the upper pond is given over to leisure pursuits, with five inflatable kayaks for guest use and two paddleboards for hire.

Finally you can stroll to the nearby Oakhill Inn, just a few minutes' away, which serves delicious food and drink and does takeaways if you can't be bothered to stir from your garden perch. If you can, then it's worth knowing that just half a mile away lies the ancient woodland of Beacon Hill, with views towards Glastonbury Tor and the Somerset Levels.

Thank you for a creating such a gorgeous space, and for being such welcoming and attentive hosts. If the beautifully decorated shepherd hut wasn’t enough, we were treated to a magical outdoor spa and swimming pond - bliss! We would love to come back again.

Kat - Lotus Belle Tent
Really lovely tranquil place to stay. Tents were comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the hammock for relaxing, as well as the lake to swim in. We used the hot tub- be aware that it is wood fired.. the fire is started for you but you need to be there an hour and a half before you book to keep it going (it is very near to the lake and the tents though). There’s a pub very nearby which has good food if you don’t fancy cooking. Overall a lovely place to stay. Good location and set up making you feel at one with nature.

We enjoyed camping on Amanda and Rob’s land. They were very attentive and considerate hosts. We understand their site is relatively new, and they’re still getting their feet under them. We still had a very pleasant stay, making use of their outdoor cooking equipment and their spa area, from which you can see a large amount of their beautifully natural land. We hope to be able to return, since we happened to come on a particularly rainy weekend, and didn’t get to see the deer!

Perfect Glamping Relaxation
Kat - Lotus Belle Tent
This is a real gem of a find. A perfect place to relax and unwind. Set across acres of land are a series of lotus tents, each with its own outdoor space equipped with a small log fuelled burner to make tea. There are also chairs, table and kitchen utensils. Our lotus tent had a very comfy double bed with a super quality duvet and there was no chance of getting cold at night with additional blankets and hot water bottles if needed. Each tent also has its own bathroom with warm running water and sawdust toilet. The land itself is beautiful with the option to swim in the lake. Additional facilities of a wood fired hot tub and sauna that could be booked added a real element of luxury and peacefulness. Amanda and Rob were fantastic hosts and only too happy to answer any questions and were on hand if needed. Highly recommend a stay here…you won’t be disappointed.

Rob and Amanda were fantastic hosts - they sent us plenty of information beforehand and gave us a comprehensive tour of the off-grid glampsite and the home comforts of the walled garden. They have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into both the comfort of their guests and their green credentials. The attention to detail was fantastic and we really wanted for nothing during our stay. The tents are comfortable, with lovely hot spring showers on site. The walled garden has a fully functioning outdoor kitchen, which is superbly equipped for BBQs etc. Again, a lot of effort has gone into the landscaping of the garden, which is beautiful. The central yurt is a comfortable hangout spot and is easy to heat. The description on the site looks great but it's even better in reality and we will definitely be back!

Our party had a great stay at Glamping at the Brew. All was as described with cosy bell tents, great facilities (particularly the well-equipped outdoor kitchen) and lovely surroundings all to ourselves. There's plenty of space to enjoy the site whatever the weather which is not always the case with camping! Plenty of good walks and good pubs nearby and attractions further afield. Our hosts were more than happy to help where needed and provided us with all we needed for a comfortable holiday. Thanks for the lovely stay!
