Safari Tent Glamping with Hot Tubs on the Somerset Devon Border
Luxury Glamping with Swedish Wood Fired Hot Tubs
Middle Stone Farm's beautiful location in West Somerset is right on the edge of Exmoor International Dark Sky Reserve, so your hot tub is the perfect place to relax and watch the shooting stars on a clear night! All our accommodation (both glamping and cottages) have a private hot tub outside, we have eight of them on the farm! The hot tubs are optional extras, they're not included in the price of a stay as not all our guests want to use them. If you would like to use the hot tub during your stay please select it on our booking form when you make your reservation. The water is changed between each set of guests, there is some chlorine added for sanitation and we provide a generous supply of firewood to fuel the hot tub heaters.
The Swedish hot tubs are wood fired, (they're not jacuzzis - there isn't an on switch), you light a fire within a stove chimney of the hot tub to heat the water yourselves. The hot tubs do take a while to heat up the first time you use them, we send you a video in your arrival email instructions to show you how to get your hot tub started, and we're usually somewhere on the farm and happy to lend a hand if you need a demonstration when you use it for the first time. Wood fired hot tubs are a more environmentally option than the electric Jacuzzi style hot tubs - ours don't have jets or coloured lights!

The safari tent hot tubs will seat 6 people (bit of a squeeze but it's possible), the hot tub outside the cabin and cottage are for four.
Prices: 2-3 nights stays £70, 4 day stay £100, 5 day stay £120, 6-7 stay £150. We don't make a profit from our hot tubs, this is the cost of the water and the firewood you'll need to heat the water. Our hot tubs are very large, probably much bigger than you'll find at other holiday places and they contain a lot of water.
We offer hot tub pre heats for the cottage and cabin during the winter months when it can take a good 5 hrs or so to heat them if it's a cold winter's day or when it's icy. If you're staying when it snows, no problem, they're Scandinavian and designed for all weathers! See below for further information.
Please note if you have hired a hot tub, then decide not to use it when you're here, we cannot refund you unfortunately. This is because there are costs involved preparing them for you, eg filing with over 1,000 litres of water, the cleaning, firewood deliveries etc.

How your Hot Tub Works and Safety Instructions
Our Scandinavian hot tubs are wood fired, there's no on-switch, we provide a store of seasoned logs for you to heat the water yourselves and use whenever you like during your stay. They are private next to your accommodation and they won't be used by anyone else whilst you're staying here. Each hot tub has a lid to keep children safe and we recommend you move the steps away from the hot tub when you're not using it.
The hot tub water is changed between every set of guests and our safety information is above.
You'll find lots of guest reviews mentioning our hot tubs on TripAdvisor and Google. There is a bit of a knack to using them, but once you've got the fire blazing, they are quite easy to use. We live on the farm and we're always around if you need hand getting the fire established. All the hard work happens the first time you use it, once you have the hot tub lid on the water will stay warm for the next day.
On a cold day in April or October the hot tub will take around 4-5hrs to get hot, in the summer they'll take about 3hrs, possibly less time if you're good with a fire! On subsequent uses they'll take an hour to re heat. Please note we only offer pre heats for the cottage and cabin in the winter, we don't offer pre heats for tents.
Our hot tubs are all large, perfect for families, couples or close friends and are the perfect place to relax at the end of the day. On a really hot day we know guests like to jump in when they're cold too! Lots of health benefits there if you like an invigorating start to your day!
We provide plastic stemmed glasses and tumblers so you can safely drink in your hot tub.
