The scent of Somerset apple orchards hangs in the air here, the kind of quiet rural corner where you wake to birdsong instead of alarms.

The Apple Press offers solid-roof stays — timber chalets and camping pods tucked into the Vale of Taunton landscape. It's a good shout for couples after a proper bed and four walls, or families wanting the outdoors without the tent faff. You're in classic West Country territory: the Quantock Hills for walking, Exmoor within reach, cider country all around. Dog owners should ask ahead to confirm their welcome.

Facilities aren't detailed onsite, so it's worth checking what's included in your chalet or pod when you book. Campfires need confirming on arrival — they may be allowed depending on conditions and pitch. The vibe leans toward a simple, tucked-away rural escape rather than a full-service resort, the sort of place where the pace drops and the Somerset sky stretches wide and uninterrupted.
