Guests that stayed at this property said
While many guests found the pod to be clean and tidy upon arrival, there were some concerns about the general cleanliness, with reports of dirty utensils and a need for better maintenance of the hot tub and barbecue area. However, these instances seem to be the exception rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, offering stunning views and a remote setting that is perfect for a relaxing break. The presence of a lake and the opportunity to fish are frequently mentioned as highlights, contributing to the high score.
The pod is generally regarded as cosy and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay for most guests. However, there were some remarks about the bed's comfort and suggestions for additional amenities like more towels and better wind protection for the hot tub.
Facilities such as the hot tub, fishing options, and the well-stocked kitchen are appreciated by guests. Nonetheless, there are suggestions for improvement, including better maintenance of the barbecue and the provision of more kitchen utensils. The lack of direct car access to the pod is noted, but the provision of trolleys is seen as a thoughtful touch.
The reviews do not provide sufficient information regarding the presence of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately assess this category.

Pod was warm and clean upon arrival as was the hot tub. We had great fun carp fishing off the deck and managed to catch 4 carp between the 2 of us. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning
