Jurassic Escape Pods – new for 2020!

Our new Jurassic Escape Pods are our most luxurious glamping accommodation yet with compact living, a modern style, a shower room and 1 double bed & 2 single beds sleeping up to 4 people. There is an open-plan feel with a bright and airy living space, plus a fully glass front with french doors onto an integrated and covered veranda with decking area and outdoor furniture, perfect for al-fresco dining, evening drinks and for enjoying the views of the surrounding countryside.

There is a comfortable L shaped sofa, bluetooth speakers, an electric fire and wall mounted TV and a kitchen area with microwave, oven, grill and 4 ring hob, an under-counter fridge, kettle and sink. The rear dining area transforms at night with a wall mounted pull-down double bed and above the dining area is a high level fixed mezzanine floor with 2 single beds and ladder access. Please note this may not be suitable for very young children. There are plug sockets and USB sockets. The generous washroom includes a large shower, heated towel rail, toilet and sink with shaver socket. Up to 1 dog is welcome in select dog-friendly Jurassic Escape Pods and each Pod has allocated parking next to it for 1 car.
