About Owley Woods Glamping
This award-winning secluded glamping site surrounded by Somerset countryside is the ideal place to unwind. Picturesque Cheddar village with its wide selection of pubs and tearooms (and cheese!) is just a scenic 15-minute footpath walk away, and footpaths also lead to the Gorge (which is the highest in the country). Located on a one-acre paddock, the luxury lotus bell tents have everything you will need to enjoy your stay. They are fitted with king-size beds, throws, tables, chairs, and fairy lights. Outside, you'll have your own private dining area with a fire pit/BBQ and wood-burning stove. You only need to bring your clothes and provisions. Shared kitchen area with kettle, toaster, microwave and fridge freezer and mains sockets. All of the Belle tents are named after owls, as the owls are often very vocal in the evenings! Complimentary tea and coffee alongside your first basket of logs with firelighters and kindling are provided. Dogs are welcome here, and the surrounding footpaths are perfect for dog walking. There is also a dog walking paddock for those early morning and late evening short walks. Welcome packs for both guests and their dogs too! The site is also located next to Somerset Wildlife Trusts Mascalls Wood, so it is surrounded by wildlife and even has a bat roost in one barn.
Owley Woods Glamping is open from 22/03 to 26/10 in 2024 and from 01/04 to 11/10 in 2025.
The shared bathrooms include flushing toilets, hot showers and heated radiators. An outside covered area for washing up is also provided. The kitchen area has an electric kettle, toaster, fridge freezer and mains charging facilities.
The nearby picturesque village of Cheddar provides many pubs, tea rooms, shops and restaurants. Easily accessible with a scenic footpath walk in 15 minutes or a five minute drive.

Would definitely recommend a stay here. Scenery is stunning, the site is perfect and you couldn't ask for a friendly greeting and being made welcome. If you've never experienced glamping, you can't go wrong here, you'll definitely be spoilt! Not all glamping is this comfy and relaxed.
