The Thistle Pod hot tub, bubbling, with open farmland behind it

45 min from Glasgow

Hot Tub Glamping near Glasgow

Every pod has its own private hot tub, up to temperature and waiting when you arrive. Leave the city at lunchtime on Friday and you can be in a private hot tub by mid-afternoon, with open farmland in front of you instead of a street.

At Ballagan Farm

What hot tub glamping looks like here

Neither tub is shared. The Rose Pod's sits out on its own decking, open to the sky, with an umbrella and a chiminea alongside. The Thistle Pod's is under a covered gazebo with rattan seating, so it's ready to use whatever the forecast says, and the Thistle Pod adds sole access to our Scandinavian barrel sauna.

Both tubs are up to temperature before you get there, and towels and robes are already in the pod. They're arguably better in winter than in summer. Photos of both, and the sauna, are on the hot tub and sauna page.

Glasgow, from the farm

Ballagan Farm is about forty-five minutes from Glasgow city centre and half an hour from Glasgow Airport, inside Scotland's first National Park. It's the nearest the city gets to a proper escape.
