Had a lovely weekend at the pod. The only very small comment I have, is that it would really benefit the pod to have a small air con unit of some sort, it got incredibly hot in the night. We did try leaving the door open but it just attracted way too many bugs! There is a fan which was good, but it only blew the hot air around, which still meant the pod was 30degrees at night which was tough.Other than that it was a lovely stay and the hosts were brilliant and very welcoming. Would 100% stay again.

The pod was clean and pleasant albeit very small. The area was lovely with lots of places to go for walks and pubs for meals. However, we had an issue with the main door. We couldn't get it to lock and on inspection, we concluded that the slots where the claws were supposed to go were misaligned and the door would never lock and I expect, has never locked. We brought this up with the owner who told us not to worry about locking the pod as it was safe there. With other holiday makers there, I would like to decide on that, and being able to lock the door whilst away for the day is important to us. We brought this up twice and the owner first said she'd get her husband onto it. This didn't happen so the next day we asked again, and she said she'd get 'Helen' onto it. Again, nothing happened. We left and the door was still unlockable. We spent 4 days and 3 nights unable to lock the door at night or during the day whilst we were away. Some of the other reviews that brought up issues were still present, for example missing light bulbs, an incredibly noisy sliding bathroom door and the steps on wheels that lead to the bed. That is an accident waiting to happen.

We had the best time. The pod was immaculate and clean. The hot tub and the fire pit made it even more relaxing.
