- Luxury glamping units in four acres of wildflower meadows
- Dark skies, free from light pollution
- Rural, peaceful location on the edge of Bodmin Moor
'Luxury glamping' doesn't quite begin to sum up this pretty place among five acres of woodland and wildflowers – with views over fields and Bodmin Moor to boot. Ekopod is a gorgeous glamping site in east Cornish countryside, just outside the village of St Clether on the edge of Bodmin Moor.
Settle down here for simpler stays – think fairy lights, firepits and no noisy events or clubhouse – but without skimping on any of the luxury you oh so surely deserve.
It's a splendid spot from which to explore Cornwall too: the area around the site has several walking routes on Bodmin Moor and the Camel Trail is nearby for strolls and cycle rides. The coast at Crackington Haven and Boscastle is within 20 minutes, Widemouth Bay is 25 minutes and Bude 30; heading south, you can reach Boscastle and Tintagel in 25 minutes and Port Isaac in 35.
The bell tent comes with a proper bed, snugly made up for your arrival, as well as outdoor furniture and a firepit. It is a three-minute walk from a barn with shared showers and toilets, along with a shared kitchen. In the barn, there is also a private locker with charging points for guests to use and a small library of books and games. The barn has a small honesty shop and a pizza oven (pizza kits are available from the team if you ask).
