Designed to be set up anywhere you might put up a tent, it’s great news for anyone who books into B&Bs at music festivals or panics about camping holidays.
The Travelpod - Travelodge’s glamorous answer to a tent
The pod is sealed in a polycarbonate glass box, but includes features offered in conventional hotel rooms such as TV and air conditioning.
Leigh McCarron, Travelodge’s director of sleep, called it “a ground-breaker in outdoor accommodation”.
The Travelpod, which measures 6 metres by 2.4, includes a double bed, bedside lights, carpeted floors, and dressing table - plus blinds.
A spokeswoman for Travelodge said: “The Travelpod is a ground-breaker in outdoor accommodation.”
The Travelpod: Will be available soon at outdoor Events such as music festivals or sporting competitions
TravelPod’s spokesperson says, “With the popularity of outdoor sleeping we saw a definite niche in the market for something a bit more up-market”.
When asked who will be hiring this glamorous answer to a tent, she replied
“One woman wanted 20 of them for the guests at her garden wedding to sleep in.”
The Travelpod also has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, an en suite wash room and a ‘biodegradable’ loo
“One man wanted one delivered to a beautiful spot in the Lake District, so he could propose to his girlfriend in it”.
