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!
