Ocean View Pods
The Pods
The pods are part of your holiday experience. Each is individually decorated to reflect the surrounding landscape, and all feature an expansive glazed entrance, a private shower room, and a cozy space to sit back and relax. Set on a tranquil site, each pod offers stunning sea views across the glen, creating the perfect setting to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Each pod sleeps up to four people, with a comfy double bed made up with hotel-quality linen, plus integrated bunk beds tucked away — ideal for tweens or teens. Wi-Fi, as well as charging points for phones and laptops, comes as standard.
We’re pleased to offer one dog-friendly pod, so your four-legged family member can join the adventure too.
Each pod also comes with its own private fire pit – perfect for toasting marshmallows under the stars or enjoying a quiet evening outside.
Two of our Ocean View Pods — Pod 1 Bay View and Pod 9 Tully — feature eco-friendly Wood Fired Hot Tubs, exclusive to the guests staying in those pods. After a day of exploring the local area, relax and unwind in your private hot tub while taking in the breathtaking views of Glenarm Bay and Marina.
Please ensure you’ve read our Hot Tub T&Cs before booking.
