Barley Hill Pod is a private, deceptively spacious glamping pod set in its own field in the Somerset countryside, surrounded by magnificent oak trees. It holds a Customers' Choice 2024 award and is a little over 10 minutes from the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Incredibly private - no neighbours in sight.
The Blackdown Hills are just over 10 minutes away. The Dorset Jurassic Coast is a 30-minute drive south and the Somerset Coast is easily accessible to the north. Nuthatches, woodpeckers and kingfishers visit the site regularly. The only traffic you'll hear is the occasional tractor.
The pod sleeps 2 and is adults-only.
