Two of our Ocean View Pods have an eco-friendly Wood Fired Hot Tub, exclusive to guests staying in Bay View and Tully only. After a long day of exploring the local attractions, relax and unwind in your own private hot tub, whilst soaking up the stunning views of Glenarm Bay.

As these tubs are wood-fired, they do require heating on arrival. The stove will be set and ready for you to light, with matches provided, and all logs supplied. Once lit, the hot tub takes approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours to heat. For best results, the stove should be refuelled with logs around every 20 minutes during the heating process. Full instructions and our top tips for heating the hot tub will be provided before your arrival, so you can plan your time and enjoy the experience with confidence.

Before booking our hot tub, please ensure you have read our hot tub T&C’s.

We have one dog-friendly pod suitable for one dog and its human family. You can bring your precious pooch along for your next glamping adventure — and where better than our stunning pods overlooking the beautiful seaside village of Glenarm?

Enjoy scenic walks along the beach, the marina, and through Glenarm Forest. Our Walled Garden and Woodland Walk are dog-friendly and access is FREE for all pod guests. Even better — your furry friend can enjoy a complimentary session at the Glenarm Castle Dog Park as part of your stay!

We provide food and water bowls for your dog, as well as some doggy treats and a guide to dog walks and dog friendly eateries in the area.

On Glenarm Castle Estate you’ll also find the Potting Shed and Milk Parlour, both offering special dog treats, so your pup gets spoiled too. Outside the Potting Shed is a doggy jet wash to clean those muddy paws.

If you are interested in booking our dog-friendly pod, we would ask you take the time to read our Dog Friendly Pod Guide. Please be mindful that there will be other families on our pod site during your stay, including small children, and that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. We would kindly ask that you respect the pod, our pod site, and other guests.

Why not add a little something extra to your stay? Whether it’s s’mores by your pod firepit or chilled prosecco waiting in your pod fridge, our Extras make your experience even more memorable.
