Finest Retreats | The Highland Camping Pod

The Highland Camping Pod is a fantastic glamping pod situated on the side of a lake with its own private, wood-fired hot tub. Guests can also benefit from free entry to the farm park and a discount at the on-site farm shop which stocks local produce. It's the perfect getaway for families and couples.

The luxury glamping pod provides a bright and comfortable accommodation with two bedrooms and open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. There's a private shower room inside the pod. The master bedroom has a double bed whilst the second bedroom has two singles. There is a double sofabed in the living room.

Guests will love sitting in the hot tub and soaking up the lake and countryside views whilst the BBQ is perfect for cooking on in the warm summer evenings.

The on-site farm park means kids and adults alike can enjoy meeting the alpacas, lambs, pigs and other farm animals. Free entry is provided to guests staying at the pod. Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome.

The Highland Camping Pod is set in the quiet oasis of the farm but is handily only a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Hertford and the A10, which means easy access to the local shops and pubs. There's a number of things for guests to do in and around Hertford such as a trip to Hertford Castle where the grounds and gardens are open to the public and ideal for a picnic. There are plenty of walking trails nearby such as the Chadwell Way Sculpture Trail which follows a five mile route through the towns and countryside of Hertford, Ware and Great Amwell, in Hertfordshire.

A great property

We had a nice stay at the Glamping Pod, we only noticed the bedding had some stains on them, but overall we had a great and peaceful time!

Brilliant stay

Our first time glamping, could not have asked for a better experience. Staff were welcoming and friendly. The pod was clean and tidy and our dog was accommodated for. The setting glorious and the hot tub lovely on a cold winter’s evening. Would highly recommend. Better access to WiFi, but 5G was fine.

Cosy Luxury in Freezing Nature

High performance of the pod - so warm and snug compared to outside zero degrees. Hard to think of one - maybe a bit of development of the field walkway to Hertford heath as pretty mucky in winter.

Picturesque but …..

Beautiful place but quite isolated, the pod clean but basic and tired in places. Hot tub lovely but takes quite a lot of ‘tending’ with very limited equipment!

Lovely

We had a lovely time , lovely location very quiet only downside was that on the first night the hot tub was cold so we couldn’t use it, and the next day took a very long time to get it warmed up so missed out on the hot tub quite a lot. The hot tub was initially set up for our arrival but had gone out and wouldn’t re start so when we were ready to use we couldn’t so I was quite disappointed that’s the only reason for the 4*. I would recommend you are constantly checking the fire and logs if you stay.
