We had a lovely 3 night stay in Lime Kiln Lodge at Hadspen Glamping in August. The tent was awesome - well stocked, beautifully kitted out with loads of great features (4-hob gas stove, gas powered heated indoor shower, solar powdered lights and charging sockets). The beds were comfy, cosy and warm and the bedrooms spacious with plenty of storage. The living room had a log burner and a well-stocked cupboard of games and books and the kitchen came with tea, coffee, cooking oil and a complimentary cider! The hot tub however was a highlight - lovely place to watch the dark, clear, starlit sky. 3 days wasn't enough - we will be back and can't recommend it enough.
Outstanding in every way

This place is a little piece of paradise, we stayed for two nights and regretted not booking longer the minute we arrived. We didn't want to leave. Lucy has thought of everything, there was even hot water bottles under the sink in case it was cold in the evenings. All of the little touches make this place stand out over other glamping sites. It's more like a home from home. We had our 4 and 7 year olds with us, they loved the outdoor games and being able to play on the hill on site. The local village of Castle Cary was lovely to walk around and browse the independent shops. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for being such brilliant hosts Lucy and Rob.
Amazing accommodation, brilliant location

We had a great stay at Hadspen. The tents are amazing - they have everything you could need, are incredibly spacious and comfortable, and in a lovely spot. The service was brilliant - very attentive and responsive to any questions, and everything provided that you could wish for. The location is great for all sorts of fun in Somerset.
