Widget's Farm Glamping
Award winning, luxury, en-suite glamping pod in countryside location between Frome and Bath. And we are not just “dog-friendly”, we actively welcome dogs and have designed everything about your stay to ensure that holidaying with your furry family is as easy and fun as possible.
Winner of the "Most Dog Friendly Place to Stay"!
“A perfect escape to the country from busy work life!”
Our luxurious, en-suite pod is nestled within a secluded meadow and located between historic Bath and the interesting market town of Frome. Guests won't be short of things to do in the area and can spend the evenings enjoying the panoramic views and peaceful location.

The pod sleeps two humans and truly is luxury camping with an ensuite shower room and small fitted kitchen. The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave combi oven and kettle and a supply of tea and coffee for your stay. There is also a TV-DVD player and a selection of DVDs for you to enjoy. Outside there is a table and chairs and use of a BBQ on request. The pod is also only five minutes walk to the Bell Pub at Standerwick which does great meals and is dog friendly. Just a mile away is the White Row Farm Shop with everything you could need and an award winning fish and chip shop.
“We had a lovely time in the Pod, cosy and warm, with everything you need.”
Truly Dog Friendly Holiday Accommodation!
Widget's Farm loves dogs and welcomes them at no extra charge to you. The pod is also designed with them in mind with a securely fenced garden and lots of space to run about. You are also in your own meadow so if your dogs need seclusion, Widget's Farm is perfect. We've even had five huskies stay in the pod with their humans!
And what’s more…
Complementary use of our secure 3 acre field at 8am - 8.50am each morning of your stay
Dog’s are allowed on the bed and we even provide a fluffy doggy throw to make it more comfy for them and cleaner for you.
An ensuite wet room that is available for warm doggy showers if you wish.
And we provide a doggy towel, bowl and treat to make our furry friends even more welcome. (and we like to leave a treat for the humans too!).

We are extremely relaxed with our doggy guests but just have the following Petiquette expectations to keep everyone safe and happy...
Dogs are welcome on the bed but we ask they are dry and clean before being invited up.
All poop should be picked up both in the garden and the fields.
Dogs are requested to be up to date with core vaccinations and parasite control before coming to Widget's Farm. This means simply DHP vaccines within the last three years or evidence of positive titre test results within the last year.
Dogs should be on lead at Widget's Farm other than when not within the pod garden or secure field.
Dogs should generally never be left alone in the cabin. The exception is a crate-trained dog which, if truly relaxed, may be left crated for up to 2 hours in a day in the cabin.
“Lovely setting and fab, cosy little pod - very private and perfect for a few days away with our dogs...”
