Camping pod
Liked: The most relaxing trip I've been on in a very long time. The sounds of the river and the birds..watching the horses roam in the field opposite. The pod was soo cosy but with everything you needed. Absolutely will visit again. Pure bliss.

Liked: The location was superb, the amenities that were supplied were lots more than I ever expected. Communication from the host prior to arrival was well mannered and pleasant, giving alternative directions due to a road closure. The stream behind the pod was rather therapeutic.

Camping pod
Liked: This is a great place to stay - in own field with good access to walking country. Great guidance from the owners about directions and what to bring. The Pod was well kitted out with all the essentials including kettle and fridge. Great hot shower and electric towel rail and heater. Freshwater tap 15 yards away. Was very wet outside but cosy inside the pod. Good range of BBQ (gas) kit and accessories including plates, KFS etc. in separate building next to pod with 2x chairs and table - can eat in there if its raining or outside on wooden bench if not. Fire pit (bring lighters). Remember to bring food supplies as any shop is a minimum of 30 mins away (longer if roads are bad). Pony trekking nearby for those who are up for it.

Liked: Visiting the pod again 4 years later and it absolutely blew us away again! Stunning location, private and cosy. Despite the weather, the pod was a warm haven to come back to after a day of exploring. Thank you so much Hannah for providing this comfy space to kick back and relax! Will definitely be back again and again :)

Camping pod
Liked: Very clean , very well equipped, no service or signal for a good half hour so able to really unwind ,
Disliked: The driveway was very muddy so didnt drive up to the pod incase we got stuck (but it is december so kind of exoected perhaps some more stone/gravel leading upto the pod may help). There was a bit of a mix up where we arrived to find no one there , had no code to get into the pod and waited panicking for 1 hour before a neighbour passed with a dog who went and rang the host landlines and she came right away - little mix up and ofcourse no cell service to contact anyone at that point did have us a little worried.

From the manager: Hi Chloe, Thanks for the feedback and so sorry about the confusion with your arrival. Not sure if all of your contact details were correct on the booking as all check in details were sent over the day before. This is something we need to look into for future bookings, incase guests don’t receive the messages. With regards to the track to The Pod, there is a gravel track that leads right over but unfortunately due to the recent rain, this has washed some of the stone out, and is one of the first things we will be sorting once the weather has dried up a bit. We hope this doesn’t put you off staying with us again in the future, and look forward to you returning to stay with us again. Thanks Hannah @ The Pod
