Nestled in the picturesque Quantock Hills, this award-winning glamping site is a perfect choice for a slice of luxury. With far-stretching countryside views and lovely surrounding trails for walkers, you're sure to feel relaxed here.

The Hill View Wigwams sleep up to three people and one well behaved dog. They have lovely views and are equipped with a fire pit and picnic table outside.

A note from the site themselves...

Our site is set on Cobbs Cross Farm which has been farmed by John Hardwick since back in the 1970's. We are now a family business with wife Jan and children Rob, Emma and Will. Our farm has evolved greatly since then, turning organic in 2000.

We rear free-range chickens as well as a beef suckler herd. We have also expanded with some lovely cute additions including our miniature donkeys and playful alpacas.

We haven't stopped there, our landscape is also perfect for growing Christmas trees, along with our five acres of vineyards. We grow five different varieties of grape: Pinot Noir, Rondo, Orion, Solaris and Reichensteiner with wines that can all be tasted and purchased by visitors.

Camping Pod - Hillview Ensuite Wigwams with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Jul 2024

Clean toilets and accommodation, well maintained garden area. Very relaxed weekend break, other lodge's not too close, so it felt more private. Accommodation was clean, good lay out, garden area was well maintained. Little buggy visits between 17.00-18.00 to make sure you're OK and if you need anything, more wood, wine, burgers. May I just point out that the kettle in our lodge leaks a little, not a problem for us, just a concern. There are local places to visit..Somerset Boat Centre North Newton, nice relaxing area next to the Bridgwater and Taunton canal, bar, hot and cold food and drinks, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes. We will definitely visit again, we had a very well-needed break from society and Secret Valley gave us that.

Hi, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for letting us know about the kettle, we have replaced it.

Stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely, relaxing time. The guy who came round with the BBQ food and drinks was very friendly. It was clean and tidy in accommodation and on the site. Come home feeling sad we had to leave but very relaxed.
