The sheep greeted us with curious stares as we pulled the complimentary trolleys past them, carrying our bags to the pod. We loved the pod and fenced off private space which was cosy but still spacious. Within hours of arriving we were greeted by a beautiful Kingfisher, who perched on the fence for a good 5mins. That evening we saw the milkyway for the first time in a very very long time. The bed and new sofa were super comfy. The fencing was adequate for our Lhasa Apso. Only issue was the smoke alarm didnât like any frying (bacon, french toast) in the small space with door and window open and our dog is scared of loud alarms⦠The outside grills flame kept going out due to strong winds, we had to get some disposable charcoal BBQ. Would highly recommend to all our friends & family, and weâd possibly join them with the option to book multiple pods/cabins at the same time.

We had a lovely relaxing break, the hot tub was perfect, fishing was great. The owners were fab and really helpful. The pod is perfectly fitted out. We will definitely be back thank you for creating a beautiful place to recharge the batteries.
