Guests don’t come to Lilypod to stay somewhere beautiful, they come to feel different when they leave.
Alder Farm, Lewdown, Devon
Water, fire, birdsong & dark skies. Ancient cues, wrapped in Luxury
A place to ground and connect
Lilypod is a collection of hand-built, floating glamping pods on a private Devon lake. Designed for deep rest, calm minds, and uninterrupted time together. Each pod invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and settle into stillness. Off-grid, thoughtfully crafted, and quietly luxurious. Everything you need is here, with nothing competing for your attention.

A gentler way to escape
In a world filled with connections online – we have somehow become less connected and less fulfilled than ever before.
At Lilypod, we invite you to escape the noise of life. To slow your pace. To become the person underneath your digital identity. Float in your own hand-built sanctuary, nestled on a secluded lake near Dartmoor Nation Park. Feel the calming presence of water, fire, birdsong, and dark skies. Reconnect with yourself, and with each other without distraction, expectation, or rush. This is a place to do less. And feel more.
Our Luxury Glamping Pods
Each of our three couples glamping pods are carefully positioned to offer privacy, calm, and a sense of being held by the landscape. Crafted by hand and designed with intention, the pods balance comfort with simplicity, and beauty with ease. Whether you spend your time wild swimming in our spring fed lake, drifting quietly in the canoe, warming yourself by the fire or simply watching the light move across the lake, your stay unfolds at your own rhythm.
Room to breathe
Wild swimming, forest paths, local wine and relaxed lunches
Exquisite Guest Stories - Sink into the Lilypod Experience
Our guests come to Lilypod to switch off, to breathe more deeply, and to leave feeling lighter than when they arrived. Their words tell that story better than we ever could.
An experience that restores
Our luxury glamping pods float gently on water, allowing you to fully experience the surrounding land and waterscape. Firelight flickers as evening settles. The waterfall provides a soft, constant soundscape. Wildlife moves quietly through the lake and woodland.
If you feel called to wander beyond your pod and we understand if you don’t, open Dartmoor moorland, ancient woodland, and golden beaches all lie within easy reach. A short five-minute stroll from the lake, Alder Vineyard & Café (open Weds-Sun) offers relaxed lunches, vineyard tours, and a café that many of our guests enjoy visiting during their stay. It sits separately on the same farm, making it an easy addition. There is no pressure to explore. Everything here moves at your pace.
