  • Glamping with spectacular Glastonbury Tor views nears Wells, Somerset
  • A 15-minute drive to Wells or Cheddar Gorge; Clarks Village 25 minutes
  • Luxurious bell tents with proper beds and an outdoor kitchen
Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. Surrounded by the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Overlooking the Somerset Levels. No need to bother about putting up a tent. There’s an awful lot to love about Tor View Glamping, in a spectacular rural position near Wells in Somerset. And it’s the glampsite that just keeps on giving. Just two ultra-stylish bell tents tucked into a hillside strewn with wild flowers, with plenty of room between each tent for total privacy. Each tent is fitted with luxurious furnishings including a proper double bed (all linens provided), ample storage in chests and drawers, and lots of little luxuries like fresh flowers, solar-powered lighting and snuggly blankets. Outside both bell tents is panoramic wooden decking with picnic-bench seating; just the spot for a bit of R&R with a glass of (complimentary) Prosecco in hand. Personal-use compost toilets and hot showers add to the tally of handy comforts on site. There's also a well-equipped private kitchen with personal sets of pots, pans, cutlery and so on within a larger shared kitchen block (covered so you can cook no matter what the weather is doing) . Barbecues are also provided if you feel like a dreamy night around the campfire while gazing out over the views. A couple of practicalities: the bell tents sleep two, but a camp bed can be provided for a child, and sorry, no dogs on site.

Lotus bell tent

Liked: Beautiful bell tent with breathtaking views and stunning interior. We had a cooler box(with a bottle of bubbly), stove, barbecue and fire pit and everything that we needed during our two night stay. The bed was really comfy. Our host was really helpful.
