Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A really peaceful, beautiful place to be. The wild spaces in between pitches really makes you feel in nature. Some really lovely touches such as a discount for solo travellers, fire pit for each pitch and the fire-starting package and logs was just great. Sadly, I only stayed one night but will definitely be back for a little longer next time.

Local attractions

Built in the 1700s, Stourhead (10 minutes’ drive) is a National Trust-run house renowned for its Palladian-style architecture (with its exquisitely symmetrical proportions). After checking out the artworks and Chippendale furniture in the mansion, you can stroll around the spectacular gardens, centred around a lake and dotted with elegant follies. If you want to make the petrolhead in the family happy, you could take them to Haynes Motor Museum (20 minutes). Here, in a former munitions depot, is more than a century’s worth of vintage cars and motorcycles, from a 1915 Ford Model T to a Formula One Williams, plus sections devoted to luxury vehicles and microcars. Why not make like the Ancient Romans and head to the city of Bath (55 minutes)? Book yourself into a spa to soak in mineral-rich thermal waters, or simply stroll around the Georgian centre pretending to be a Jane Austen heroine (the author lived in the city in the early 1800s).
