What customers say
This is a highly-rated, clean, and well-equipped glamping site offering peaceful rural escapes. Guests praise the thoughtful touches, comfortable pods, and excellent facilities like the barbecue and fire pit. The location is ideal for accessing nearby towns and beaches. While the site is small, with only two pods, this contributes to a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Minor suggestions for improvement include an internal sink in the toilet and lower shower hooks. The host is frequently commended for being helpful and welcoming.

Liked It was great! We booked last minute-ish for one night. All instructions and info from Hellie Pods was clear, so we were able to pack everything we needed (or didn’t) and arrive without fuss.

Liked The pod was very clean and well equipped. It is in a quiet location. Easy to access though with good instructions from the owner. We used the barbecue and fire pit provided. The owner provided marshmallows which was lovely.

Absolutely excellent site, clean facilities, peaceful area
Camping pod
Liked Hellie Pods are fantastic little glamping pods, they are family friendly and have everything you need for a super glamping holiday, the beds in the pod are comfortable, the outdoor kitchen is close to the pods and is very clean and tidy. The toilet and shower area is also very clean and well kept, the shower is a decent size too which makes washing very easy especially with children.
There is plenty of wood for the fire pit and the owner is happy to top up the wood bucket if you were to run out.
The pods are situated in such a peaceful corner of the farm they are on and you do not get disturbed, it’s so peaceful and feels very magical at night with the solar lights around the pods and fence.
These are most definitely one of the best glamping pods I have stayed in for a long time, I cannot fault anything, as everything has been thought of.
Southwold beach is only 15 minutes drive away and there are many other places to visit which are no more than 30-40 minutes drive away.
A fantastic place to stay with the family and very children friendly too.
Overall I really like Hellie Pods and will definitely be coming back again.
Definitely a 5 star rating place.
