Get back to nature at one of these summer staycation pods.

Clawford Lakes Resort and Spa, a stunning 80-acre Devon holiday destination, has officially launched their luxury cocoons accommodation which are now available to book. The unique and modern glamping pods are exclusive to Clawford Lakes in the UK, offering an off-grid experience that guarantees privacy and tranquillity without being cut off from home comforts.

The translucent cocoon fabric stretches across a striking, beautifully curved steel structure providing natural light during the day and a magical, warm glow at night.

As an exclusive-to-the-UK design, the only other locations currently featuring these luxury cocoons are in Big Sur, California and Auckland, New Zealand, provided by manufacturer Autonomous Tents. Completely open plan, this ultimate glamping experience features luxurious finishes such as a roll top bath and private decking with a fire pit and swing arm barbecue rack for guests to make the most of the alfresco lifestyle.

The ultimate high-end getaway for those seeking tranquillity, the luxury cocoons are perfect for couples but are spacious enough to easily sleep up to five guests for families and groups of friends keen to sample a holiday with a difference.
