  • Pods spaced 20 metres apart within private woodland for real privacy
  • Pod Hollow is a unique storybook retreat built into a grassy knoll

  • Open year-round with real fireplaces for autumn and winter stays
  • Self-contained pods with private wet room, porch and brick BBQ
West Stow Pods is a small, independently run glamping site set inside private woodland on the edge of the King's Forest in Suffolk. Pods sit around 20 metres apart, screened by mature trees, with a self-contained wet room, covered porch and brick BBQ each, while the storybook Pod Hollow offers a fireplace and full kitchen built into a grassy knoll. Everything is fully heated and open year-round, and dogs are welcome throughout. You're four miles from Bury St Edmunds, with the reconstructed West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village just five minutes away and Lackford Lakes nature reserve ten minutes down the road. Further afield, Bury St Edmunds station is 4.1 miles away, and museums including the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Museum and Moyse's Hall Museum are within easy reach for a day out.
