What visitors say
I booked the pods to surprise my Wife for her 40th birthday for us and our two young daughters. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Kerry and the team decorated the pod with some colourful 40th balloons and a Happy Birthday bunting on the wall. Which was lovely to come into. I also opted for the smores/ marshmallows / hot chocolate package which was a great treat for the girls to do in the evening at the fire pit and a fun activity once the sun had gone down. From first booking the communication was excellent and the instructions how to access the location and keys etc were very easy to follow from the email. The location is excellent overlooking the Glenarm Castle grounds and the sea views are fantastic. It’s also very quiet and a lovely calm atmosphere. The facilities inside the pod were excellent. From the mini fridge, microwave etc. The bed was really really comfy and fun to make up and the girls enjoyed the bunk beds with their own area to sleep. We will definitely be back in a heartbeat and already planning our next visit. Thank you to all the team for a wonderful Sergio experience and stay.

Fantastic location and site set up. The arrangements were made easy, facilities were top class and support was readily available to make sure any queries were answered swiftly during our stay. We opted for Pod 1 Bayview which enjoyed a spacious end site with private wood fired hot tub. Operating instructions were provided as well as more than ample materials (replenished during our stay). The vista, fairy lights and hot jets made for a very relaxing way to spend a couple of hours in the evening after a day of sight seeing with the kiddos. Would definitely recommend.

We loved staying here. The pods were well kept and clean, with the location being secluded and tranquil with great views. Still only a 5-10min walk down to the castle gardens so very handy and a great base to explore the coast.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at Ocean View Pods, especially in the Tully Pod. The views were absolutely awesome and made our stay even more special. The pod was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The private hot tub was a real highlight, offering the perfect place to unwind while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The service provided by the team was excellent throughout our stay. A special thank you to Kerry, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her friendly and helpful attitude made our experience even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend Ocean View Pods to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable break.
