About this property

Finest Retreats | The Pods

The Pods provide the ideal glamping experience for those wanting a slice of the countryside and a back-to-nature staycation but still with all the amenities of a warm bed, kitchen and shower. The views across the valley from the front of The Pods are stunning - guests will love a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine sat out on the patio taking in the country air and far-reaching views.

Sleeping four people in two bedrooms, The Pods are also the ideal location for families and couples to explore the Fosse Way and the Somerset countryside from. The Roman city of Bath and the seaside towns of Western Super Mare and Burnham on Sea are also only a short drive away.

The main pod consists of a double bedroom, small lounge, kitchenette and shower room. The kitchenette has a microwave, portable stove top, toaster, kettle and fridge so guests can still cook up a meal if staying in. Wi-Fi is available in the main pod and included during your stay, plus access to a washing machine, ironing board and iron through a private entrance into the downstairs cloakroom of the farmhouse.

The second bedroom - the twin - is located in a separate pod, located approx 15 meters away and separated by a path through the trees. It's the perfect solution for children wanting to escape the parents and feel like they're having their own adventure (or is that parents wanting to escape from the kids!) Please note, as the second bedroom pod is a short walk from the main pod, parents should be confident that their children (and they!) will be happy to sleep separately and will enjoy the seclusion of an independent sleeping area.

During the winter months, we have converted the outdoor porch of the main pod into an upgraded, insulated dining area equipped with a table and chairs, comfortably accommodating four guests. This addition provides a weatherproof social space, complete with a fully glazed external door to allow you to fully enjoy the surrounding views. Updated photos arriving in Spring 2024.

Off-street parking is provided a few meters away from the pods. Please note that the pods are in the curtilage of the owner's country farmhouse.

There are a few pubs within 2 miles of The Pods and the nearest supermarket is only a 3 mile drive.

The Pods are equidistant between the historic city of Wells and Bath. Both provide a great day out with plenty of attractions, cafes and restaurants - and lots of things to do even on rainy days! Wookey Hole Caves and Adventure Centre is only a short drive away and the perfect day out for families; while if guests prefer peaceful countryside walks then the endless trails right from the front door leaves you spoiled for choice.

We had a really lovely stay at the pods.
Beautifully clean and cosy with amazing views across the valley. Would be lovely to sit outside and have a barbecue in the spring/summer. Was a bit chilly to do that this time. Would recommend taking binoculars if interested in watching the bird life! Really appreciated the welcome pack with cake! Great hosts, very welcoming and friendly.

A wonderful place to spend time away from the whole city's surmity. I really liked ours.
The summer there I think it would be better but the time of the suo was fine. It didn't take long for everything to be taken care of

Perfect
Pods are lovely, comfortable and very clean. Views amazing. The location was brilliant for us, having family close by. Sophia was the perfect host, friendly, and approachable, but not pushy. We would love to come back sometime.

Last minute stays at the Pods.
We had a last minute few days away in the pods. They were well equipped in beautiful surroundings with lots of things to do a short drive away. The pods were lovely and exceeded our hopes, even having bread, butter, jam, tea and coffee on arrival. You really need to drive to be able to visit here.

Great stay at the pods!
The pods were cosy and comfortable in a great location, very accessible for Bath. The host Sophia was very helpful! We had a lovely break so thank you! The main pod is perfect for a couple! Our children are young & the second pod is more suitable for older children/teenagers.

Great little find
Great host, ideal location, fabulous views. Lovely little pods and plenty of outdoor space. Having the second pod for our daughter worked perfectly for us. Would come again. Best to come in summer when you can take advantage of the outdoor space, as the living and kitchen spaces within the pods are limited.

Highly recommend!
Sophia and Richard are fantastic hosts. The pods are in a beautiful setting overlooking the Somerset countryside with great access to Bath, Wells and Glastonbury. Inside the pods are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We would highly recommend staying here especially given the views, bbq terrace and comfy relaxing outdoor chairs. The swing ball was fun too! A special place to relax and unwind -

A great place to escape the hustle and bustle!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the pods. Well-appointed kitchen, spacious bathroom, comfortable bed and lovely views over local farmland: it is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle. They are really well located, close to some great walks and fabulous pubs and only about 20 mins from Bath. There was real attention to detail from table cloths with clips to stop them flapping in the breeze, seat cushions for the outside table, a portable clothes line for those emergency washing moments, BBQ coals to get us going, to a welcome pack of quality tea, coffee, milk, bread and homemade jam. Sophia and Richard were really welcoming as well and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. -

A super place for a peaceful break in the countryside
I was not quite sure what to expect, as pods were a new thing for us. Chosen mainly for being a convenient location for our stay, and because something different appealed, the pods turned out to be an excellent choice. Quite small but not too small, and very cosy and comfortable, with everything we needed. Everything was very clean, with lovely decor, nicely equipped kitchenette, and a good sized modern bathroom. Very friendly owner who made a point of being there to welcome us and show us around. Nice outside area with seating, a nice view over the fields, and BBQ facilities, although the weather - autumn gales and rain for much of out time - wasn&#39t conducive to taking full advantage! Overall, a super place for a peaceful break in the countryside, conveniently close to places such as Bath.
