Every pod, Armadilla and Lushna has its own private log fired hot tub. These are optional to book for an additional cost which includes bags of kiln-dried logs and fire starter bricks for guests to light and heat the tubs. The Armadillas sleep up to two adults only - these offer luxury glamping, more like a hotel room, but located in a field! Each has its own loo and shower inside, with bench seating that transforms into two single beds or one double bed. There is a small kitchen area, with a sink, microwave, kettle and toaster, crockery and cutlery for two people. You'll always be cosy with underfloor heating for the colder months and there is mood lighting, TVs and DVD players too. Outside you'll find seating for two people, a fire pit and a charcoal BBQ.

For something different, why not try one of the 12 Lushna Suite cabins, all sleeping between two and four in real glamping luxury. These have floor to ceiling glass windows and doors maximising the views over to the estuary. Inside each, is a spacious shower room with a loo and sink, a kitchen / kitchenette area with electric induction plate, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and sink. The Lushna Mezzanine has a Chesterfield sofa bed downstairs and three mattresses upstairs which can be left separate or pushed together. The eight Lushna Petites have a double bed space and climbing up a ladder, a platform space above with two single mattresses. The three Lushna Suites each have a kingsize bed.

Glamping Cabin - Lushna PetitesSep 2024

We thought it was beautiful and peaceful. We would have liked cushions for the outside furniture. The cabin was cute, clean and had everything in it that we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much 😀

Glamping Cabin - Large Lushna Mezzanine SuiteNov 2023

We had a really good time and enjoyed the facilities. Even in cold weather, the cabin retains heat very well. The hot tub was fantastic and after following the instructions, we had nice, long soaks. We will definitely recommend it and would like to return again soon.

Lovely stay in Mega Pod 1

Camping Pod - Ensuite MegaPods (Optional Hot Tub)Jun 2023

Had the most lovely stay at Mega Pod 1 at Lee Wick Farm! Was a little worried from some negative reviews, but our stay was just perfect. Super clear instruction for the BBQ and wood-fired hot tub, clean and homely mega pod, perfect for 2 very comfortable nights, lovely tranquil time and would love to stay again!
