The Mainstay Pod
The Mainstay Pod: Your Home Away from Home
The Mainstay Pod at Hidden Wood Glamping is a peaceful hideaway set within a private half-acre paddock in the heart of the Corsley countryside. Designed for comfort and simplicity, it offers a cosy base for couples, families, and guests bringing dogs. The space feels calm and secluded, with woodland and open fields surrounding the pod and plenty of room to unwind. Inside, the pod features a comfortable king-size bed and a pull-out sofa bed for children, along with a well-equipped kitchenette, a modern bathroom with a hot shower, and heating to keep the space warm throughout the year. Bedding, towels, and everyday essentials are provided so you can settle in straight away.
What makes the Mainstay special is its private outdoor area, created for slow mornings, relaxed afternoons, and evenings under the stars. Guests have exclusive use of a wood-fired hot tub and sauna, along with a firepit and BBQ area, hammocks, sun loungers, and open space for children and dogs to explore safely within the fenced paddock. The setting is quiet, natural, and full of wildlife, offering a real sense of escape while still being close to local attractions. Longleat Safari Park is just a short drive away, and places like Stourhead, Stonehenge, Frome, and Warminster are easily reached for days out. The Mainstay Pod offers a blend of comfort, privacy, and countryside charm, making it an inviting place to switch off, relax, and enjoy the surroundings at your own pace.

“Just got home after a 4 day stay at the Hidden Wood glamping pod. If you are thinking of booking this, do it. It’s perfect. Idyllic location, stylish & cosy, immaculately clean & laid out with everything you need for family fun or a couples break. We took our dog who loved free run of the safe & contained paddock. The hot tub is fabulous, watching the sun go down with a glass of wine after a fun filled day at Longleat was perfection.
Don’t hesitate, You’ll have the best time!”
