Left it late so couldn't get in a B&B at Lyme Regis. Wouldn't normally book something like this, but it was considerably cheaper, and even with taxi fares, still cost less. The lady on site was extremely polite and helpful. Even offered to collect us if we failed to get a return taxi. Definitely booking again should we go back to lovely Lyme R! 10/10.
clean pods and does the job

Loved my stay there. The pods were spic and span. The bathroom was clean and I was not expecting anything more, so it met my expectations well.
Highly enjoyable stay!

Our first time glamping was a very positive experience! Thank goodness we chose the Tunnel Pods, as they were easy to heat in the cold and windy weather that we were unfortunate to have during our stay. The facilities were clean and well situated, with a communal fireplace outside under cover. The children had a great time playing hide and seek in the garden, as well as playing with some of the games that were provided. The beds were comfortable and having a plug socket for a kettle and heater, was a life saver! Perfectly situated, not far from Lyme Regis and other seaside towns. We would definitely recommend the Tunnel Pods to anyone.

Things to do on site and in the Charmouth area
Being just five minutes from the Jurassic Coast, a day out at the beach is a must. The glorious shores of Charmouth Beach (5 minutes) are perfect for sunbathing with gentle waters for swimming. The popular beach of West Bay is also only 20 minutes away with views of the harbour and delicious fish and chips on offer.
If you want to stay onsite, you will also be conveniently located next to two activity centres. Tunnel Tree Tops boasts an adventure course amongst the canopy with ropes, floating logs and zip wires. If you want to keep your feet on the ground, the Target Sports Centre offers shooting experiences where you can pretend to be James Bond for the day.
For learning more about the area's prehistoric past, Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre is a five minute drive away. Learn all about Attenborough's Sea Dragon, head out on a guided fossil walk and learn all about the animals that used to roam this land thousands of years ago.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Dinosaurland Fossil Museum (5 minutes)
- National Trust - Golden Cap (10 minutes)
- Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium (10 minutes)
- Axe Valley Wildlife Park (10 minutes)
- Beer Quarry Caves (20 minutes)
