Loved the pod very comfortable & if you come, in winter there is a log burner. The pod is part of the farm. So cows not far away. I loved saying hello to cows every morning. The bathroom is big & plenty of hot water. Free WiFi as well. Fully equipped kitchen. We stayed for Christmas. The owners put Christmas tree up. Which was lovely. We staying small village & there Pub just down road. You only 10 mins away from clarke village. There plenty to visit in the summer . We did lot walking .The owner is really nice anything you need they will help you. We do recommend the pod.

This was my second stay at the ‘Pod’ and hope to return again. So well thought out conversion. Everything was spick & span, and all you would need for the stay to be comfortable. We come to this area to see the wintering birds and there at least five excellent reserves within a few miles. If you need any shopping, GWilliams in Edington, couple miles up the road have wverything.
