"Further Space’s glamping investment partnership appealed as a way for me, as the next generation, to use my interests and skills to contribute towards our farm’s future in a way I could get excited about. Together the team and I have utilised our practical and creative tools to successfully launch Black Knowe."

Black Knowe
“For years I have wanted to turn our quarry that overlooks Lough Erne into somewhere families and couples can stay, relax and enjoy the stunning lake view but never knew where to start. I attended a partnership event with FURTHER SPACE and loved their partnership offering!

"What I liked about Further Space is we didn't have to purchase the pods. We had just invested heavily into this new business, we just didn't have any capital to then purchase pods on top of that. There weren't any other companies that we could find that allowed this kind of partnership approach, so accessibility was a major draw to us.”

Hillhead Farm
Our partners across Ireland and the UK are diverse; ranging from farmers and private land-owners to Estates and tourist attractions.
What they all have in common is an interest in micro and rural tourism, a motivation to partner with our team to offer great glamping hospitality, and at least 1 acre of land with something special to offer. Whether it’s a brilliant location, a beautiful view, or easy access to exciting activities and events.
Some of our partners are focussed on securing a future for their land and business, some are busy running an existing business and really benefit from our partnership setup, and others simply gain value from our expertise within the glamping industry.
BLACK KNOWE, BALLYCASTLE
Motivated by the appeal of our investment model and a desire to contribute towards the future of the family farm, Rachel approached us with a dream to open their brilliant landscape up to guests. The site launched in 2019, now offers 5 pods and has been 4 star graded under guest accommodation with Tourism NI.
BLACK KNOWE, BALLYCASTLE
Black Knowe is located in the heart of the Glens of Antrim, a short drive from Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coastal route and its major attractions. The proposition here focuses on offering guests the ability to totally switch off and enjoy time together – the farm animals have become a very popular feature.

Despite the impact of lockdown in 2020, Rachel’s site has been very successful with steady and encouraging occupancy figures.
