The smell of toast and coffee drifts across the garden on a still morning, while wood pigeons call from the churchyard next door.

This is one for couples after a proper bed and a cooked breakfast, or small families who want the camping experience without quite committing to canvas — the pods give you your own space under the stars, while the guest house rooms offer full comfort if the weather turns. It's year-round, so works for winter escapes as much as summer breaks. Dog owners should ask ahead, as policies can vary depending on whether you're booking a room or a pod.

Facilities aren't extensively listed, so it's worth checking what's included when you book — this feels more boutique guesthouse than campsite hub. Campfires are a maybe rather than a no, but confirm when you arrive rather than assuming. The vibe is quiet and characterful, the sort of place where you're staying in someone's lovingly kept home rather than a field full of tents.
