  • "I can’t recommend Dew Pond highly enough!"

    When we first opened the gate to the glamping pod the view literally took my breath away. We stayed on a chilly and wet weekend but the log burner kept us cozy and warm. Dew Pond has everything we needed. Kate, the host, was responsive and helpful, but also gave us our privacy. The pod is extremely private with earthen berms on either side but opening out with a beautiful view over the fields. We especially liked driving through the little wood to the cottage. We would love to stay here again.

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Really pleased that you had a relaxing break in Dew Pond and enjoyed taking in the views of sheep and Cheddar Gorge! We would love to see you again in the near future. Best wishes. Property Owner
