About Barley Hill Pod
When you're after a peaceful couples' retreat in gorgeous Somerset countryside, you'd be hard-pushed to find anywhere as romantic as Barley Hill Pod, tucked into a private farm field between Chard and Ilminster. This single adults-only glamping pod delivers proper escapism: imagine relaxing in the hot tub (April to October) under the stars, listening to the stream burble and owls hoot across the barley fields.
Inside, the wooden pod packs in tip-top facilities – a kitchen with oven, hob and microwave, a comfy corner sofa facing the flatscreen TV, a solid oak bar with stools, and a double bed. The ensuite has a hot shower and heated towel rail. Outside, your wooden-fenced garden includes decking with alfresco seating and a barbecue, overlooking a pond where resident ducks splash about. Time to pour a glass of wine and watch for woodpeckers, nuthatches and kingfishers flitting past – the only disturbance might be the occasional tractor trundling by.

What visitors say
We had such a lovely stay at this pod! The hot tub was a real highlight—perfect for relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings. It’s incredibly quiet and tranquil, exactly what we were looking for. Kate was very welcoming, meeting us on arrival and showing us around, which made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and what a little gem it was. It was so peaceful and private right down by the stream. The pod was kitted out with everything you might need. Kate was amazing meeting us on arrival and suggesting things to do in the area. We will definitely be returning.
