Luxury A-Frame Lodge For Premium UK Glamping Sites​

The Arla is our signature A-frame lodge — an architectural, design-led structure that instantly elevates any glamping site, holiday park or rural retreat. With its dramatic triangular profile, panoramic apex glazing and boutique interior finishes, The Arla delivers a five-star guest experience while giving operators a standout, highly marketable unit.

Built using high-performance Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), this luxury lodge offers exceptional insulation, durability and year-round comfort. It performs exceptionally well on woodland, meadow, hillside and lakeside plots where its bold form becomes a genuine feature of the landscape.

  • Full-height architectural glazing framing views beautifully
