  • Retro glamping units in a peaceful riverside glade near Crewkerne
  • Half an hour's drive from Glastonbury and the Jurassic Coast
  • On a 14-acre historic estate with pub and restaurant
Seeking a serene Somerset stay? Have a hassle-free hol at Haselbury Mill, on a cracking 14-acre estate five minutes from Crewkerne. This is a place with quite a chunk of history behind it – the original buildings date all the way back (way, way back) to the times of William the Conqueror. The glamping units, in a gorgeous little glade by the Parrett river, are from days of yore too (although they’re very much of the vintage variety rather than the ancient). The wagons here are traditional numbers, collected in a quiet corner and cleverly restored to hang on to the best of their retro features while upping the comfort factor by throwing in some modern bits and bobs, including tea and coffee making facilities (vital for those who simply can’t function until they’ve had their morning cuppa.) Smart modern toilet and shower facilities are housed in another wagon parked up in the same spacious clearing. Need more than a cup of tea to get you going of a morning? Sorted: a generous breakfast is provided for all glamping guests, and served up a short walk away in the main mill. With any luck that’ll see you through your days out (hiking, beachcombing or gadding about in Glastonbury, perhaps) until it’s time to come back and settle in once again for evening drinks and a meal. Bag a table by the lakeside restaurant’s glass wall for dinner with a view, or potter over to the site’s pub for woodfired pizzas and pies to accompany pints of local ale or cider.

The Montacute 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: We had the best stay in The Montacute (showman’s van) - it’s something different and we all loved it. Haselbury Mill is perfect - the atmosphere is lovely and ALL staff were very friendly. The breakfast (included) is unbelievably super, the sausages were a particular hit. We had Pizza’s at The Windy Miller - so so good. My son (7) finished a whole pizza - to the surprise of all the waiting staff, so that’s how good he thought they were!

Disliked: We didn’t dislike anything at all. Just a little reminder that if you plan on eating in your van you will need plates and cutlery (cups, glasses and teaspoons are provided). Also a dressing gown for the morning - as a little chilly first thing.

The Montacute 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Lovely location, quiet and ideal for exploring Somerset or getting down to the Dorset coast. Loads of room for kids and dog to run about and the accommodation (wagon) was roomy, comfy and had a great shower! Buffet breakfast also ideal for hungry kids and very dog friendly. Don’t forget to book and have pizzas on Friday/Saturday evening!

Disliked: Understandably but bit chilly in the morning (radiators and electric fire are included though) and you get condensation on the windows

The Townsend Showman's gypsy caravan

Liked: The way the caravans are lovingly restored in keeping with history. The quirky venue. The amazing staff Beautiful breakfast. Comfortable beds. Hot showers.

Disliked: The pizza, sorry but they need less topping and mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese should not be on a pizza.

The Montacute 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Everything, the accommodation was amazing and the facilities were fantastic. We stayed in the retro caravan and it was beautiful we were away from the main house, but it was only a short walk away to the bar and food. Would definitely go back either as a couple, family or with friends perfect for any group. Really amazing stay and really great value for the money. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Very quaint and Bijou, managed to have 6 people standing room only in for a coffee! Price includes that of a Full Breakfast and yes you do need to be below 5'8". You can park almost opposite so useful for arriving and leaving any items in the car to keep space in the Hut. Was warm and clean with Tea/Coffee making facilities and very friendly staff.

Disliked: Be aware that this is across the lane, and short walk (5-10mins) to the main building/windy miller for meals so have coat/umbrella/walking boots or wellies

Local attractions

Inspired by all the bits of the past on display around the estate? There’s plenty more nearby. On a rather grander scale than your digs (fab though they are) are the smart stately homes of Montacute House, a Tudor pile with gorgeous formal gardens (15 minutes’ drive) and Barrington Court, home to a walled garden and orchard (20 minutes). Orchards are a fairly common sight around these parts, and their offerings go towards creating the famed Somerset cider. Sample a sip or several at Burrow Hill Cider (20 minutes) – they’ve been pressing the stuff for more than 200 years so they know a thing or two. If you fancy a snifter of something stronger, their cider brandy is worth trying too. Burrow further back in history with a trip to Glastonbury Tor (half an hour) to hear tales of King Arthur and Excalibur; or delve into the age of the dinosaurs down at the Jurassic Coast. Charmouth beach (half an hour) still harbours ancient fossils, for those who know where to look (and that’d be in the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre if you’re not lucky with seeking out your own).
