Guests have had a delightful experience at Lovesome Pod, praising its cosy and spacious accommodation, the relaxing hot tub, and the warm welcome from hosts Mary and John. The serene farm setting and proximity to Northallerton add to the charm, with thoughtful touches like fresh milk and homemade biscuits enhancing the stay. While most feedback is positive, a few guests suggested minor improvements for an even better experience.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The pod was consistently described as clean, with only one mention of flies near the hot tub, which seems to be an isolated incident rather than a reflection of overall cleanliness.
The location is generally praised for its peacefulness and proximity to Northallerton, with guests enjoying the private setting and local attractions. However, one review mentioned unpleasant farm smells, slightly impacting the score.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the pod cosy and warm. The spaciousness and privacy of the pod contribute to the comfort level, although there was a single mention of the pod being cold, which suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are well-received, especially the hot tub. Suggestions for additional facilities like a washing line, better lighting, and more hanging space indicate that while the facilities are good, there is potential for enhancement.
While guests have mentioned thoughtful gestures such as fresh milk, homemade biscuits, and freshly picked strawberries, these are individual experiences and may not be consistent for all stays. Therefore, it's important to note that such personal touches, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
