Shire Stays, situated on Cliff Farm close to the North York Moors National Park, has developed two holiday pods on its estate.

The pods are built into the ground and fully equipped with fitted bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, kitchen areas and king-sized beds.

The HSBC UK supported lets can fit between two to six guests at a time. Each pod has its own private hot tub, along with skylights integrated into the pods.

A farm in Pickering, North Yorkshire, has secured a six-figure funding package from HSBC UK to support premise development and growth of its holiday let business.

The new premises on the 150-acre farm enables the business to diversify its revenue stream, as well as creating new jobs.
