Devon glamping barrel pods
Three wooden barrel pods in The Shire, our dedicated glamping grove. Each one sleeps up to two adults and two children, with proper beds, heating and a picnic table outside. Dogs are welcome.
Our camping pods are a gentle way into glamping. No tent to pitch, no pegs to lose, nothing to carry beyond your bag. You arrive, you unlock the door and you are on holiday.

Good to know
Bedding is not provided in the barrel pods. Bedding packs are available at £15 per bed if you would rather not bring your own.
Minimum stay is two nights. Some high season dates and events need longer, so please check with reception.
There is one small step up into the pod. Parking sits right alongside, with water and waste points a few steps away.
Dogs are welcome
Dogs are welcome in all three barrel pods. They must not be left unattended in the pod at any time. Please bring your dog’s own bedding.
Clean Paws, our purpose-built dog wash, is a short stroll away and free to use. The Donkey Sanctuary field trail is fifteen minutes on foot from the park gate — level ground, no stiles, all weathers.

Comparing the three
Barrel pods are the most compact of our three glamping options. Premier pods give you three linked rooms and a canopied deck, with level access and no step. The shepherd’s huts add a BBQ, a television and bedding included — they are reserved for guests without pets.
