Upon arrival we were greeted by Andy who showed us to our pod & the facilities. The pod was immaculately clean & really well presented. It came fully equipped with everything you would need for a break away. The bed was comfortable & the under floor heating was a real bonus. We had a lovely relaxing break & we highly recommend it for a couples treat. The attention to detail was second to none. We would book again in a heartbeat.
Cute quiet glamping location

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Old College Glamping. It was absolutely stunning, comfortable with everything and more than we needed. We all slept well and the children (me included) we just amazed at how beautiful the tent, the lights, the surroundings were. It was so peaceful and relaxing, I wish we didn't have to leave. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
