General
- Off-grid glamping site in secluded Somerset countryside near Yeovil
- A 40-minutes drive to the Cerne Giant, and Glastonbury half an hour
- Gas stoves and hot tubs on site; pub and shop within 10 minutes’ drive
Exclusive in location and yet hugely inclusive in style, Dorothy Goes Glamping is tucked away in secluded countryside near Yeovil in Somerset. With a remit to be welcoming to guests of all persuasions, the secluded woodland pitches offer an off-grid, eco-friendly break and the chance to disconnect from technology.
Hen parties, stag weekends, couples on loved-up date nights – all are welcome here (along with their dogs, of course). Accommodation is in a range of glamping pods, with luxurious extras including hot tubs (book in advance; extra charges apply) heated by woodfired burners, proper beds and a vintage trunk for storing your stuff away. A welcome hamper contains cutlery, crockery and mugs as well as washing-up utensils.
Separate shower and toilets blocks are steps away from the pods – but remember to pack a torch as there’s no light after dark. Thanks to that lack of light, you can take in the starry sky and you might also get to see deer and badgers flitting around after dark.
How to keep fed and watered? Outside each lodging is a barbecue (wood and coal can be bought on site if needed) and picnic bench for cosy nights around the firepit, plus a two-burner gas stove for outdoor cooking and dining. Pick up basics at the handy shop in Queen Camel (10 minutes’ drive) for mealtimes, or head to the pub in Sparkford (five minutes) instead.

Local attractions
The cool galleries and indie shops of Bruton (20 minutes’ drive) are worth a morning’s snoop, while mellow-stone Castle Cary (10 minutes) has a great Tuesday food market. Yeovil is the spot for a big night out in pubs, and Glastonbury (both half an hour) turns up shops selling joss sticks and jewellery, as well as the atmospheric abbey.
Exploring around the site takes you to the crumbling, hilltop Cadbury Castle (10 minutes) for spectacular views over Somerset. More hiking trails lead to the colossal, chalk Cerne Giant (40 minutes) sprawled across a hillside and off uncertain heritage. The Wessex Ridgeway (45 minutes) also passes a multitude of neolithic and Iron Age monuments that are free to explore on your hiking adventures.
Closer to home and coming up to date, the Haynes International Motor Museum (five minutes) has a nostalgic mix of vintage Bentleys, F1 cars and bikes, while virtual-reality flights in an iconic Concorde and a collection of World War II fighter planes make the Fleet Air Arm Museum (10 minutes) a must-see too.
