Glamping pods are insulated, fully fitted holiday cabins that let guests stay in comfort all year. A PrefabX Flip glamping pod arrives complete with heating, a fitted bathroom, electrics and plumbing, installs in 2 to 3 days from a fixed price of £25,000, and can recover its cost in around a year as a holiday let on Airbnb and Booking.com.

At a realistic nightly rate and 68 percent occupancy, a Flip pod can recover its all in cost in roughly twelve months, then keep earning. Finance lets the bookings cover the repayments.
