Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the pod's spotless condition and the high level of cleanliness, which contributes to the overall comfort and appeal of the stay.
The location is generally appreciated for its quietness and proximity to local attractions. However, some guests noted the closeness to other pods and farm elements, which slightly impacted their experience.
The comfort of the Filbert Pod is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the bed cosy and the cabin spacious. A few guests mentioned issues with the bed's fitted sheet and a potential leak, but these were minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
The facilities, especially the hot tub, are a highlight for many guests. Some minor issues were raised regarding maintenance and clarity of instructions for the hot tub, but these did not detract significantly from the enjoyment of the amenities.
The thoughtful gestures, such as homemade gin, jam, and a chilled bottle of Prosecco, are frequently mentioned and greatly appreciated by guests. While these gifts add to the experience, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The owners were really helpful as well as my car battery decided to die! They went out of their way to come out with jump leads etc, thank you so much! Beautiful surroundings. The pod was beautifully clean and lovely little touches, like homemade small jars of Blackberry Gin, Blackberry Vodka and Jam :) Hot tub was really clean and private. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing romantic break. Lydia & Rich :)

It is everything we wanted and more. Beautiful place and the pod was spot on! Extremely comfortable and worth every penny. We have been back a few days and have already Recommended it to friends and family! Unfortunately we did not meet the owners however they messaged us and assured us that if we needed them for anything we can contact them! It was perfect. Thank you Paul & Pauline. Hope to stay again in the near future!

Filbert pod was really lovely with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. There were lots of thoughtful little extras too including a cold bottle of fizz waiting for us. The hot tub was incredible and totally private. We enjoyed walks on the beach and visited local pubs. The spit and sawdust pub in Burnham looks a bit shabby and we werenât going to bother but glad we did. It was particularly welcoming and we had a lovely hour of playing board games there and chatting with the friendly locals (we didnât eat there so not sure about the food). We met the lovely Pauline who was very friendly and gave us lots of tips on where to go. Would highly recommend. If I could change one thing, it would be for a more secure fence to make it easier to keep our dog in. She could easily get under the fence and we didnât want her to bother the horses (although it does state clearly that the fence isnât completely dog secure it would make for a more relaxing stay). Despite this, we highly recommend and would love to come back one day.
