Camping pod
Liked: it had a heater in the room
Disliked: i booked a camping pod and we were given the railway carriage. In the description it said: Please bring your own bed linen, towels, duvets, pillows and cooking equipment. I brought all that. It did not say mat. I have slept in a camping pod in Scotland before and it had a wooden structure for sleeping on. That's why i presumed it is the same here. No, it is just a wooden floor. Me + my husband had to sleep on the wooden floor in our sleeping bags. The guy who gave us the key only said: As described. Not true ... it does not say bring mat. I asked if he had anything to help us to sleep on. No + went off. Very unhelpful, cold man. Worst night ever. For 40 pounds a barren floor! It is a Rip-off... Glad the pub was closed and quiet. 3 pods for each 2 people, the railway carriage for 4 people ... All in a very tiny space. 1 toilet with no mirror + cold water, 1 shower. I don't want to image how awful when all the beds are take ... No way I can recommend this place. could not sleep, pain everywhere, my poor bones.

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.

Camping pod
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.
