Start something amazing!
We create long lasting luxury glamping partnerships with landowners, farmers and estates helping them to diversify into microtourism which regenerates their investment in their land as well as supporting the local community. About the Partnership Fur ther Space brings a unique business model to the glamping market, working with landowners to create micro-tourism partnerships. Pods are provided at zero cost so partners only need to invest in their site works. Full support with site layout, design, architectural services, and the planning process is also provided.
Once the site is open Further Space manages the entire customer acquisition process including TV, radio, press and digital/social media advertising. It provides a booking system, payment processing and customer service. This means that all a landowner needs to do is focus on the customer experience once guests arrive on site.

We work with our partners every step of the way and will invest in your journey and provide you with the tools needed for sustainable success!

CASE STUDY: FURTHER SPACE AT GLENARM CASTLE ESTATE Location Launched 12th July 2019
Glenarm Castle Estate is nestled in the small harbour village of Glenarm in County Antrim. The estate is central to the development of the village with its marina and pier and provides a central focus for tourism in the area and offers an abundance of native wildlife in the surrounding area. In 2019, the estate was keen to further diversify by adding accommodation to its offering of ‘tourist’ activities which ranges from large scale events to a welcome centre through to a walled garden, woodland walk, and mini Land Rover experience.
Our Relationship
The estate started with five accommodation pods. Soon after, they increased to six and today they have nine pods. Each pod sleeps 2 adults and 2 children and have been graded as 4 Star by Tourism NI. They each have their own fire pit and seating area. The site offers a communal picnic area and provides stunning views across the Irish Sea to Scotland.

Partner feedback:
Adrian Morrow, Estate Manager, said:
‘The pods have been a fantastic accommodation solution on our estate, bringing steady trade throughout the year and opening up a self-contained and easy way to stay with us. The partnership with Further Space has also supported us as we continue to diversify, even through challenging times, creating employment locally and bringing in more tourists to the area who are exploring and spending locally.’
