Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the pod to be clean and tidy, with only a few mentioning areas for improvement such as cobwebs and dust. The positive remarks on cleanliness far outweigh the negatives.
The location is generally appreciated for its beauty and tranquillity, with easy access to local towns and attractions. Some guests felt there was a lack of activities in the immediate area, but the peaceful surroundings were highly valued.
Comfort received positive feedback, especially regarding the cosiness of the pod and the underfloor heating. However, some guests mentioned the bed firmness and heating levels as areas that could be improved for a more comfortable stay.
Facilities like the hot tub, BBQ, and fire pit were well-received, but some guests reported issues with Wi-Fi, TV connection, and outdoor lighting. Maintenance of these amenities was suggested for enhancement.
The host's thoughtfulness was frequently mentioned, with the hot tub being prepared daily and occasional gifts, which were greatly appreciated. While gifts are a kind gesture, they are not a guaranteed amenity for all guests.

We loved the underfloor heating though and although it was a very cold week, we weren't cold in the pod at all. Location was good, it was quiet and the hot tub was heated every day for us. Could do with supplying a frying pan and bread knife

Could do with some more lighting round by the hot tub area for this time of year as it was a bit dark. I would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.

Hot tub was lit on arrival and was lit for us each day we was there. Wood used to fuel the hot tub included in the price. Would recommend taking a frying pan as only saucepanâs available at the pod. Ladies donât take to long washing your hair in the shower as youl leave the rest of the family with no hot water
