"Off-grid luxury canvas lodges with great views and The Newt next door."
Overview
‘Disconnect with city life, reconnect with nature and unwind in luxury’ sums up the ethos of this idyllic, get-away haven deep in the Somerset countryside close to Castle Cary. Set on a hillside with stunning views, the three beautifully furnished, off-grid canvas eco-lodges are individually designed and decorated in a unique style – Horscombe sleeps up to four; Lime Kiln up to five and Grisway up to seven. All have a very stylish open-plan living area, fully-equipped kitchen, en-suite shower room, and a veranda with outdoor seating and a barbecue. Horscombe Lodge has an outdoor copper bath hot tub, while Lime Kiln Lodge and Grisway Lodge have wood-fired hot tubs. There's excellent food (breakfast/picnic) and drinks hampers, sourced from local farm shops, which can be pre-booked when finalising your stay. Next door (just a 5-minute walk away) is the award-winning Newt, set in the grounds of Hadspen House, with its garden café, farm shop and magnificent gardens (membership required). Pick-ups and drop-offs from Castle Cary Station (2.8 miles) can be arranged. Please note there is no mains gas or electricity, and no Wi-Fi access.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
