The morning sun catches the weathervane on this Somerset site, and you realise you're properly tucked away from the world — no tent pegs to wrestle, just solid walls and a door that clicks shut behind you.

The Lighthouse suits anyone after a step up from canvas without the full holiday park polish. You're close to Taunton, right in the heart of cider country and within striking distance of the Quantocks if you fancy a proper walk. The pods and chalets work well for couples wanting a cosy base or families who'd rather not share a field with their neighbours. Dogs are welcome, but worth checking the details when you book — policies can vary by pitch type.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so ask ahead if there's something specific you need. Campfires are a check-on-arrival affair, so don't bank on one but pack the makings just in case. It's the sort of place where you bring what you need and enjoy the quiet — low-key, comfortable, and refreshingly straightforward.
