Magical, tranquil and beautiful – just some of the words guests use to describe the experience of staying at Glastonbury Wild Glamping. And we wholeheartedly agree. After all, this boutique and bohemian glamping site sits in Somerset countryside with views of one of the most mystical locations in the UK. You can set out on foot from here and walk up Glastonbury Tor or into the town at the foot of it to dip your feet into healing waters, visit King Arthur’s tomb and generally soak up the atmosphere of its free-spirited high street. It’s a magical place to explore and Glastonbury Wild Glamping is an equally magical place to stay.
You stay in a yurt, you cook in an outdoor kitchen, you can have a campfire and you can wild swim in a pond. If you like things on the wild side this is pretty luxurious and if you like things luxurious this is pretty wild. Sure, you sleep in a kingsize bed that’s been made-up for you but you have to tip-toe across the field for the shower or loo, which is composting by the way. These facilities are shared between guests along with that outdoor camp kitchen but, as there are only two yurts on site, there’s never a queue. Your yurt maybe Mongolian in style but its decor is inspired by India. Like Glastonbury itself, your accommodation is colourful, quirky and eclectic. It's off grid and eco-friendly and it’s warmed by a log burner too.
Your hosts here are the lovely Fin and Sarah. They also manage a couple of holiday cottages within their land which lies on the tor side of town. Both are a walk away if you’re keen for a hike of a couple of miles or it's a 10-minute drive if you’ve got the car. It’s likely that it’s Glastonbury that you’re here for, but beyond town there’s plenty more of Somerset to see. Wells is a short drive, Cheddar and its famous gorge is slightly further.
