Set in a meadow next to a beautiful orchard just ten minutes from Glastonbury in Somerset, Pippin lodge is the perfect retreat for couples, families or groups of friends wanting to escape for some peace and tranquillity for a touch of ecotherapy. Day trips to the Dorset's stunning coast, Longleat Safari Park, farm and wildlife experiences, and spa days are all within easy reach of this idyllic haven.

On entering the lodge, you are greeted by a large open-plan kitchen and living area. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cook up a storm after a day exploring (or relaxing!).

The table inside Pippin Lodge will easily seat up to six guests, and is perfect for chillier nights when you want a cosy supper with the wood burning stove blazing away in the background. In the summer months, why not enjoy sun downers on the decking and then an evening meal alfresco, making use of the firepit and outside dining area – or just roll up the canvas and have the best of both while eating inside! The sitting room area is cosy and comfy as well as being ideal for playing the games provided for your enjoyment.

The master bedroom has a welcoming king-size four poster bed. There's a twin bedroom with two single beds, and there's a cosy double cabin bed off the main living area, fun for the young and young at heart. All beds have quality mattresses with Egyptian cotton linen and lovely soft bedding.

The bathroom is in a cabin just next to the tent, with decking in-between, so your late-night trips are made as easy as possible! The bathroom boasts a walk-in shower, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail. Towels and lovely complimentary toiletries are supplied.

Outside, on the decking, is the ideal place to watch the sun go down – or up! Under cover outdoor seating is provided as well as a table, benches and a firepit on the grass in front of the tent. A few meters from the tent are apple and pear orchards and willow, ash and bamboo, along with beautiful wild flowers, all of which you are welcome to wander around and explore.

A games room and large dining area in the main farmhouse is available to hire for special group occasions, and a pizza oven is also available for use - the site owner's will show you how to use it and give you supplies, then leave you to it - please enquire in advance.

There are three other lodges on-site which can be booked in conjunction with Pippin; Braeburn, Bramley and Russet.
