Planning a weekend away in the South West? From delicious seasonal tearoom treats to cliff-top castle walks, the South West of England is packed full of exciting opportunities. Discover the myths of Tintagel Castle, the dramatic birthplace of the legendary King Arthur, soak up the history of the iconic Stonehenge or wander the cobbled streets of a Cotswold village.

Perhaps pair it with an authentic afternoon tea in a quaint tea room or an indulgent three-course dinner for two. Whether you’re looking for a 5-star hotel, a boutique B&B or even a luxurious yurt, we’ve got something that will tick all the boxes.

Haven of peace

From the friendly welcome to our departure we had a super time here. The wigwam pod was spotlessly clean, cozy and comfortable, surrounded by nature with a couple of friendly Robins visiting. The pod was equipped with a good size fridge with freezer compartment, a microwave and electric kettle and plugs for phone charging etc. counter top and shelving for meal preparation. Outside deck area, picnic bench with disposable bbq pad. Quiet, intimate, back to nature site with all modern amenities, shower/toilet blocks, dish washing and clothes washing facilities (machines and tumble driers) children's play area and woodland walks. Close to walking trails and places of interest. Haven of peace away from a busy world, we thoroughly recommend a visit.
