Our pods are set on a hill top site on the edge of Glenarm village, overlooking Glenarm Castle Estate. This family-owned 17th-century castle is home to Randal, Viscount Dunluce, son of the 14th Earl of Antrim and his family. The team at Glenarm Castle will look after you during your stay. Ocean View Pods opened in July 2019. With self-check-in/out you are safe, secure, but can create your own holiday experience. Camp fire packs are recommended. The host will have everything set up for before your arrival and will only come on site if required.

These unique holiday pods offer the perfect rural getaway along the Causeway Coastal Route. They're cosy, fully furnished and have all the comforts of home including electric, running water, mini fridge and heating. Plus, they're located with sea views and looking across the bay of Glenarm. The pod set up is for 2 adults and 2 kids with a comfy pull down double bed and hotel-quality bed-linen included, plus integrated bunk-beds tucked away, suitable for 15 years and under (under 5ft5) and is open all year round. WiFi comes as standard, as do slots to charge phones and laptops. Each pod features an expansive glazed entrance, tea/coffee facilities, shower room, and somewhere to sit and relax. Outside you have your own firepit and seating area, where you can gather and take in the view or toast s'mores under the stars.
