Glamping Pod - The Nest Luxury Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Aug 2025

Absolutely amazing stay. This is the second time we visited the pods and loved every minute of it again. They now have 3 pods and also have a sauna and plunge pool for guests to use. We didn’t use the sauna or plunge pool on this visit but we might try during our next one. We did however take full advantage of our own private hot tub. Can’t wait for our next visit!

A note from the site themselves...

We bought the farm and the derelict farmhouse in 2017, and the years since then have been spent renovating buildings and taking the land back from the brambles and nettles that swamped the fields.

Our pod field has a unique atmosphere, and our vision to build pods and share the setting with others has now been reached. It is fantastic that people seem to enjoy the setting as much as we do.

Auchenhean Pods is ideal for...

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