5-Star eco glamping pods in the
heart of Wells, Somerest

Cathedral View
Glamping - 5 Star glamping

Cathedral View is located on a 500 acre family run beef and arable farm in Wells, Somerset. The farm itself has the best of both worlds, one side is beautiful Somerset countryside and the other side is the historic cathedral city of Wells, the bustling high street is just a five minute walk away.   

The Phelps’ have been farming Palace Farm for four generations with the fifth coming on behind. It has historically been a dairy farm until seven years ago when it transitioned to beef and arable after problems with TB. The farm is named Palace Farm due to farming the land around the Bishops Palace, the historic seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. 

It has been a dream by the family at Palace Farm to start a glamping site, so they can let the public share their amazing location and stay in the most unique spot in the Wells area. 

Our Pods

We have three identical pods at Cathedral View Glamping, all named after iconic areas of the beautiful Wells Cathedral. These are Chapterhouse, The Nave and The West Front. They are all eco-glamping pods with luxury furnishings, a private wood fired hot tub, decadent interior design, and a breath-taking view of the iconic Wells Cathedral. All this combined makes our pods extra special and the perfect romantic getaway. Grab your bubbly and step from the kitchen to the decking outside, step into your wood fired hot tub or chill out in your fenced off garden and enjoy your secluded spot to enjoy the peace and quiet in style. All our pods are dog friendly and we can’t wait to meet your pooches of all sizes.
 
Whatever you do in this pod, whether you are chillaxing in the wood fired hot tub with a glass of bubbles, snuggling up on the sofa watching a movie on the wall mounted TV or waking up in the comfy double bed after a much deserved lie in, the Wells Cathedral will always be in view. Each pod has its own individual fire pit, perfect for a romantic night stargazing and roasting marshmallows over the fire.
 
All our pods come with unlimited wood to use on your fire pit and hot tubs, so you can have as many dips as you want.
 
We can’t wait to welcome you to Cathedral View Glamping, please don’t hesitate to get in contact by phone or email if you have any questions about our pods.
