Bramley Lodge

Bramley Lodge takes bookings of three or four nights only, and anyone eyeing the Glastonbury weekend should ask before booking. It is a single-storey lodge in the countryside at Coxbridge, 5.4 miles from Glastonbury, and it sleeps six.

The garden does much of the work here: a private front garden of lawn and gravel with a barbecue, sheltered decking and furniture, where up to two well-behaved dogs are allowed. The shop is 1.4 miles away, the pub 2.2 miles and the river 0.5 miles. Parking is off the road.

Indoors, the open-plan room has a woodburning stove, a dining area and a kitchen with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. Fuel, power and a starter pack for the stove are in the rent, along with bed linen and towels. Games are provided, the owner stocks homemade ready-to-heat meals, and a highchair and travel cot can be requested.

Beds are a king-size room, a twin room and a cabin-style double bed up a set of ladders, reached by steps, so take care with it. The single shower room is outside, a few steps from the lodge, with a walk-in shower, a handheld shower, a heated towel rail, a basin and a WC. Smoking is not allowed. The lodge suits a family with children who can manage the cabin bed's ladders, and a dog or two. All four lodges on the site can be booked together, sleeping up to 24.
