Grassholme camping pod
Liked: Myself and my partner had the pleasure of spending the weekend in this beautiful pod. It had everything we needed and more and the views are spectacular, especially in the evening when ya sat around the fire pit. It was perfect for us as it doesn’t have any other pods around it, meaning it’s peaceful and quiet. Helen and Mark the owners greeted us on arrival and where more than happy to suggest some good places to visit within the area. Would highly recommend this pod, we can’t wait to come back, hopefully for longer than a weekend next time.
Disliked: There was nothing we disliked, we couldn’t find a single fault with this place.

Grassholme camping pod
Liked: Wow. This pod far exceeded our expectations. We received an immediate welcome from our hosts who throughout our stay were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. The location of the pod is stunning and the pod is well equipped with quality goods and the owners seem to have thought of absolutely everything their guests may need to ensure a comfortable stay. The property is immaculate, the wi-fi excellent and I couldn’t fault anything about the place. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings with nature on your doorstep but with all the comforts of home. Nothing seemed too much trouble for the owners and they encouraged us to call them on their mobiles if we had any requests. Look forward to re-visiting soon.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike whatsoever.

Grassholme camping pod
Liked: Wonderful location with a single pod overlooking Teesdale and Lunedale. The pod is beautifully maintained and Mark and Helen are just the nicest hosts and very helpful in making recommendations of where to eat, visit and walk. You really couldn't ask for more friendly helpful hosts. There are so many local attractions that you are spoilt for choice, whether it's walking trails, history or which pub to visit. Really nice touch was the sparkling wine and chocolates on arrival.

The Pod was clean, warm and cosy with amazing underfloor heating and it had everything you could possibly need. Great power shower and comfy bed. We had the great weekend, very peaceful and relaxing and would definitely recommend to family and friends.
