A note from the site themselves...

We had an idea of owning a glamping site, and with a lot of thought and planning in 2020, we created Barnharrow Holiday Pods.

We wanted a site where guests can relax, recharge and reconnect along with home-from-home comforts and not worry about wandering to a toilet block in the middle of the night. Located in a rural location with stunning views, you can disconnect from city life and reconnect with nature.

We are a little bit of luxury at a price you can afford!

Barnharrow Holiday Pods is ideal for...

Couples
Older children (13+)
Peace and quiet
Young children

Glamping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Adult Only, Dog Friendly)Aug 2025

Just on our way home from our wee break in the beautiful 'Daisy' pod. There are no words to describe how amazing and outstandingly clean and well equipped this pod is. The bed is so comfy and the shower is really powerful . The way the pod is situated is really private . It's so peaceful with spectacular views and the hot tub was to die for . We have been really lucky with the weather but l imagine even in the cooler months it would be really cosy with the log burner. We can not fault it, just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so very much for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back.

Wow! We will be back!

Glamping Pod - Family Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Jul 2025

This was our first time glamping—and after this experience, it certainly won’t be our last! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautifully presented, well-equipped, luxurious pod. The attention to detail from Emily and Andy was exceptional—clearly hosts who know exactly how to create a relaxing escape. The surroundings were wonderfully tranquil; the kind of silence where you realise it’s just nature calling.. The weather was kind, so we spent most of our time outside—either lounging on the patio or soaking in the hot tub. Although we did venture out to explore, we found ourselves wanting to get back to the pod to simply relax. The shower deserves a special mention—powerful, modern, and just what you need after a day of adventuring (or doing absolutely nothing, which we highly recommend). Remarkably, we didn’t turn the TV on for two whole days—and we didn’t even miss it! We brought along our 2-year-old Boxer, who has never been this relaxed. Not a single bark in two days! He was treated like a VIP (Very Important Pup) with his own bowl, blankets, and plenty of scenic walks. We’ll definitely be booking again— though next time for a longer stay.

Site's response

This made us smile—thank you! It was such a pleasure having you all stay, and we’re really chuffed to hear your first glamping trip was such a good one. Loved that you truly settled in, soaked up the peace, and let the surroundings do their thing. The fact your pup was so chilled (and quiet!) just says it all. We put a lot of heart into the little touches, so it means a lot to hear they made a difference. Already looking forward to welcoming you back—next time for that well-earned longer stay! Thank you again Emily
