- Eco-conscious site with barbecue and outdoor seating for each tent
Farm life meets comfy and well-equipped accommodation at Horseshoe Farm, a peaceful glamping retreat within a fabulous 50 acres of private Somerset countryside.
This is a proper rural escape, where you’ll be able to look out over open field views and meet some friendly farm animals – residents include alpacas, lambs and pygmy goats, along with two giant pigs (Apple and Mean Pig) who are true characters that simply lap up attention. As the location is well away from any urban light pollution, you’ll also be able to spend your evenings looking up into the dazzling stars that often adorn these dark skies (and look out for glowworms too).
Settling in for an evening of stargazing is made nice and comfortable here, as each tent has its own private barbecue and outdoor seating for meals, drinks and simply chilling out. Inside, each bell tent is cosily kitted out with a double bed and two single mattresses (sleeping two adults and two kids) along with plenty of soft furnishings.
As an eco-friendly spot, there are sustainable facilities here including solar panels (for electricity and hot water), plus an eco-conscious toilet treatment system for the clean and well-kept bathrooms. A 10-amp electric supply means you can run small appliances and chargers in your tent; you’ll also have access to a fridge-freezer, microwave and kettle in The Lodge, a communal space with comfy seating.
How might you fill your rural days around here? Well, perhaps by following local walking trails, checking out country pubs or finding wild swimming spots. You’ll also be within easy reach of places like Glastonbury and Wells, or the splendid scenery of the Quantock Hills and Cheddar Gorge.
