Apple Tree Glamping Park

Apple Tree Glamping is a boutique, adults-only glamping retreat set on a private working farm just outside the historic city of Wells in Somerset. Designed specifically for couples, the site offers a peaceful countryside escape, combining rural charm with high-quality accommodation and thoughtful luxury touches. With a small collection of individually styled pods, the emphasis is on privacy, tranquillity and relaxation within a natural setting.

The glamping pods are contemporary in design and carefully arranged to blend into their surroundings while maintaining a sense of seclusion. Each pod is fully self-contained, featuring an open-plan layout. Outdoor space plays a central role in the Apple Tree Glamping experience. Every pod benefits from a private decked terrace overlooking gardens and open farmland, with views extending towards the Lower River Axe. A standout feature is the private wood-fired hot tub, allowing guests to unwind outdoors in complete privacy. Firepits that double as barbecue areas are great for alfresco dining and relaxed evenings under the stars.

The wider environment enhances the sense of escape, with the working farm adding character through resident animals such as pigs and hens. The small scale of the site ensures a quiet, uncrowded atmosphere, ideal for romantic breaks and special occasions. Practical amenities such as private parking and electric vehicle charging are also available.
 

Each glamping unit is a contemporary pod, thoughtfully designed with an open-plan layout that maximises space and natural light. The sleeping area features a comfortable double bed, positioned to create a cosy yet refined environment suitable for couples. High-quality furnishings and soft finishes contribute to a welcoming, hotel-style feel while retaining the charm of a countryside retreat.

The living space is compact but well planned, incorporating a seating area ideal for relaxing during quieter moments. Kitchen or kitchenette facilities are included within each pod, providing everything required for light self-catering, from preparing breakfasts to simple evening meals. This allows guests to enjoy flexible dining without the need to leave the site.

Each pod includes a private, modern bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower and quality fixtures, ensuring convenience and comfort comparable to traditional accommodation rather than basic glamping. Heating and insulation make the pods suitable for year-round stays, maintaining a comfortable internal environment regardless of the season.

Outdoor space forms an important extension of the accommodation. Every pod benefits from a private decked terrace overlooking open farmland or landscaped grounds, offering a natural place to dine, relax or enjoy morning coffee. A private wood-fired hot tub is positioned beside each pod, adding a luxury element and encouraging guests to make the most of the outdoor setting. Firepits that double as barbecue areas further enhance the experience, supporting alfresco cooking and relaxed evenings.

Apple Tree Glamping focuses on providing a calm, adults-only escape where activities, entertainment and shared facilities are intentionally low-key and centred on relaxation and the natural setting. Rather than offering a busy programme of organised events, the site encourages guests to slow down and enjoy simple, restorative experiences.

A key activity enjoyed by guests is outdoor relaxation, with private wood-fired hot tubs forming the heart of the glamping experience. The firepits which also double as barbecue grills, provide another focal point for evening activity, allowing guests to cook outdoors, enjoy a real fire. Guests can explore the grounds at their own pace, taking short walks around the site and enjoying the peaceful countryside atmosphere. This quiet environment also lends itself well to stargazing, reading outdoors and enjoying nature without distraction.

Entertainment onsite is deliberately understated. There are no organised shows, games or scheduled activities, preserving the tranquil nature of the retreat. For guests who wish to relax indoors, Smart TVs and reliable Wi-Fi provide access to streaming services, music and digital entertainment without disrupting the calm surroundings
