Railway Carriage cabin
Liked: Pub staff were super helpful and friendly after some initial confusion about the booking and even offered us a free pint each to compensate. No doubt the pods are basic but everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. A great base for our weekend cycling trip and handy for the quirky attractions of Bishops Castle.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Good quality pod nice shower and toilet. Needed a little checking on the shower light wasn’t working I kept meaning to contact the owners but I was on a course and very busy. I am sure they would have sorted it out. A mirror in the bathroom would be nice. Overall nice clean place right in the centre of Bishop Castle. Pub was very busy if you wanted a quiet place it could be challenging. But great central location kind helpful staff. Much appreciated

Camping pod
Liked: *Great location - right in the town and next to a pub! *Snug sized "pods" (aka posh sheds!), but enough room for a double air bed and some minimal luggage (great for a short stay). *The pods had electric plugs and heating (not that we used either because we weren't expecting such luxury!) *Lights inside and outside the pod made life much easier! *Clean and secure toilets and shower room. *Attractive little enclosure where the pods are. *Space for camp chairs.
Disliked: *It would have been nice to have some soap and paper towels in the toilets. *A mirror in the toilets would have been very useful. *A bin in the toilet would also have been good, especially in the female cubicle for hygiene/sanitary purposes. *The pub closed at 10:30pm on the Saturday, as did all the pubs in the town. It would have been nice to be able to take a beer back with us to our pods (like you normally can with other pubs/hotels when you're an overnight guest), but only if licensing allowed this, of course.

Liked: Location was great. Shower and toilet really clean.
Disliked: We stopped in a converted railway carriage. But didn't realise it was only half of it. The other half was another family, not what we expected. Pub was very rowdy and noisy. But did stop at 11pm.
