Somerset Glamping

Questions About Our Glamping Facilities

Yes we do – along with extra blankets for your comfort.

We use LPG gas to heat water for the lodges, so you’ll have hot showers and running water on demand.

No – each lodge has its own inside en-suite shower room with toilet and basin.

Our accommodation is self-catering, each lodge having a fully
equipped kitchen. However, we can arrange for hampers of locally sourced produce to be delivered to your lodge on request for a reasonable price. 
You can also arrange for delivery of food directly from The Newt In Somerset to your safari tent through their website.

The lodge will be thoroughly cleaned and serviced on the day of your arrival.

There is a designated parking area, with room for two cars per lodge. Please do not drive onto the field to park next to the lodge itself. There’s a trolley in the parking area you can use to transport luggage to your lodge.

Most definitely. There’s a Cadac barbecue grill on each veranda.  We do have a “no naked flame” rule inside the lodges though, for reasons of fire safety.

Due to the rural nature of the area and livestock on site, we are unable to accommodate pets at Hadspen Glamping.

Yes, there is a fully stocked wood store at your disposal.

No, we don’t have internet due to the off-grid nature of the site.  However, 4G mobile signal is good with most networks.

All our electricity is generated through solar power – this means there is lighting and USB-C and USB phone charging available.  Unfortunately there are no 3-pin sockets available for things like hair dyers etc…

Check in is between 4pm and 9pm, and check out on day of departure is 10.30am. If you’re going to be arriving late, let us know so we can arrange a self-check-in.

Yes, we will happily arrange to pick you up or drop you off at either Bruton or Castle Cary station – even further afield if required. We can also loan you a bicycle during your stay so if you come on a car-free visit you can explore the local area on two wheels.

No, but we do offer shorter minimum stays during low and mid-season (2 nights minimum as opposed to three nights minimum in high season). On request we would be able to arrange a premium package for a special event, for example, Glastonbury Festival, to include transport and breakfast hampers.

We are exceptionally lucky to be situated next door to The Newt, in Somerset, a fantastic award-winning visitor attraction set in the grounds surrounding Hadspen House. Visit the farm shop, the gardens, museum, roman villa, garden café, orchards and much more. We are just a few minutes’ drive from the towns of Bruton, Castle Cary and Wincanton, all well-supplied with shops for essentials.  There are numerous interesting attractions and quaint villages to explore very close to our site. Feel free to ask us for suggestions!
