What to Expect at Wishing Wood Somerset

A little closer to nature, without leaving comfort behind.

At Wishing Wood Somerset, we believe the best escapes are the ones where you can slow down, breathe in the fresh countryside air and enjoy the simple pleasures of woodland living.

Our peaceful, off-grid retreat offers a choice of unique glamping accommodation, surrounded by nine acres of beautiful Somerset woodland.

Here’s everything you need to know before your stay.

Your Woodland Accommodation

Our Yurts

Our collection of traditional and luxury yurts offers a cosy woodland retreat, with comfortable beds, inviting interiors and space to relax.

Each yurt has its own character, with furnishings and facilities varying between accommodation types. Selected luxury yurts offer additional comforts, including heating or a private wood-fired hot tub.

Orion – Our Geodesic Dome

For something a little different, discover Orion, our distinctive geodesic dome.

With its unique design, comfortable furnishings and heating, Orion is a wonderful choice for a romantic escape or a peaceful break beneath the stars.

Bell Tents & Family Glamping

During our camping season, our traditional bell tents and spacious family accommodation offer a relaxed way to enjoy woodland life, with proper beds and the freedom to spend your days outdoors.

Facilities & Comforts

Showers & Toilets

Guests have access to shared flushing toilets and hot shower facilities, helping you enjoy the woodland without giving up everyday essentials.

Cooking & Outdoor Dining

Enjoy the simple pleasure of cooking and eating outdoors. Our communal cooking facilities provide a space to prepare meals, while individual accommodation may include additional cooking equipment.

Please check your chosen accommodation for details of what’s included.

Campfires & Evenings Outdoors

There’s nothing quite like gathering around a fire after a day exploring the countryside.

Enjoy peaceful evenings beneath the trees, sharing stories, watching the flames and making memories.

Firewood packs are available to purchase on site.

Wood-Fired Hot Tubs

For an extra touch of luxury, selected accommodation includes a private wood-fired hot tub.

Perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors and enjoying the peaceful woodland surroundings.

Please check individual accommodation listings for hot tub availability.

Off-Grid Woodland Living

Wishing Wood is an off-grid retreat, allowing you to experience a quieter, more natural way of life.

Our site operates using a combination of battery power and generator support, with mains water available.

Electricity is limited compared with a conventional hotel, so we encourage guests to embrace the slower pace of woodland living.

What Should You Bring?

We recommend packing comfortable outdoor clothing, suitable footwear, a torch and anything you might need for exploring the countryside.

Bedding, towels and cooking equipment vary depending on your chosen accommodation, so please check your booking details before arrival.

Most importantly, bring a sense of adventure and a willingness to unwind.

Everything you need for a little woodland magic.

We look forward to welcoming you to Wishing Wood Somerset
