Oh Deer Reviews

Georgia
We had a lovely New Years stay at Oh Deer! Jane was an amazing host and made us feel very welcome when we arrived, the pod was spotless, cosy and the small touches by Jane made our stay even better. Theres a local pub just a few minutes walk away and a nice farm shop we visited a couple of times. We would recommend Oh Deer to anyone who wants a relaxing trip in the countryside.
We enjoyed our stay. The pod had everything you could want, was clean and organised. The hot tub was great and easy to use. Having a personal welcome and farewell was also lovely. Will definitely recommend and will be back!
A perfect weekend from start to finish , lovely place lovely location and a lovely host , thank you Olly and nicola
Lovely lodge in a nice setting. Owner was helpful and friendly. The hutlodge had everything we needed and was a really short walk to a very nice pub. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks!
Great new property, would reccomend to stay there. Very clean and was greeted by the owner with a bottle of wine. Would stay again
Wonderful pod in a beautiful setting, it was pristine and the attention to detail was excellent! Hosts were lovely and extremely helpful, will definitely stay again.
A lovely place to stay it as everything you need and its so clean. Jane the owner came to great us and couldn't be more helpful. I feel like I had a proper rest just just a shame that you have to go back to the real world. Thanks for everything Kind regards Emma and Robert xx

Perfect, relaxing stay. Me and my husband booked Oh Deer as a minimoon for the first few days after our wedding. Everything about our stay was perfect. The pod was spotless and so well equipped. The owner Jane came to greet us which was a really nice touch, along with the bottle of Prosecco left for us! Jane has thought of everything, you can tell a lot of time and attention has been put into the creation of these pods. The area is so peaceful, waking up to the deer every morning was so lovely. The village pub is a short walk down the road and is so welcoming, serving really delicious pub grub. We also visited the Shed, again a short walk down the road for our morning eggs and sausages. We can't recommend this place enough!
We have had the most AMAZING few days at Oh Deer for our anniversary. Everything was perfect, from the amazing hot tub, to the spotlessly clean pod, to the wonderful Jane. She is extremely friendly, helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is great. I honestly could not recommend this place enough it is in the most amazing, peaceful location and I would not hesitate to return again we have already discussed returning next year!!

We had a lovely stay at Oh Deer! Was cosy and clean and just what we needed for a relaxing and peaceful break! Thank you!
A lovely restful stay in a fantastic glamping pod! We could not fault anything about the cleanliness, comfort or facilities and would highly recommend Oh Deer as a great place to stay .
Fantastic place to have a relaxing break. Spotlessly clean with a great host. Im sure youll be seeing us again!!
Wonderful property in a great location. Loved the hot tub and the hut was super comfy. Was a great romantic getaway and we will be booking again!
Oh my goodness! ! We absolutely love this stunning pod. Everything we could have hoped for on a child free weekend! The hot tub a welcomed addition, And a great put just within walking distance. We will definitely be back. Cannot wait!! Sue and Jay
Hannah
Oh Deer was incredible. Absolutely immaculate. As we arrived we were welcomed by the lovely Jane. As we were coming to oh dear for our mini moon, Id brought some of my wedding flowers with me. Jane went out of her way to go get me a vase to display them in the pod. The pod is designed so well and meets all of your needs. If you were self catering there would be no reason to actually have to leave the pod. There were really lovely touches such as, the welcome book with ideas of what to do during your stay, books which we used one of to go on a trail.. it was so fun! A box with games in so we had lil card night with pizza, there was a Prosecco on arrival and choc buttons which were delicious. The hot tub was really easy to follow and use, this was also cleaned on our second day and refilled for us. The view is great and the surroundings are so quiet and with the view of the deers it was just bliss. We spent 4 nights in the pod and we definitely wanted to stay longer and there was plenty more for us to go and do, we have already said we will definitely stay there again!
Christian Ashley
Fantastic weekend, will be definitely returning. Owners made us feel very welcome, local pub fantastic food, lovely atmosphere.
Lovely few nights away, had everything we needed the owners were lovely and very welcoming
Such a fabulous place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of life. We couldnt have wished for anything more, the property was clean and comfortable with everything you need, so handy to have the farm shop and pub all within walking distance as well. Highly recommended, such a beautiful place to stay and we hope to go back again.
Fabulous thank you! Luxurious and spotless, beautiful setting and quiet too. If I had to find a problem....there was no slotted spoon for poached eggs!
Deborah
Oh Deer is a great pod to stay in. Everything has been thought out carefully and the pod itself is very clean. I would highly recommend.
Jacqueline
This is our second holiday in a Pod and we love them. Oh Deer pod was immaculate, very well equipped kitchen area, shower room had both hand held shower and waterfall head, great. Furnishings were very pleasing to the eye and comfortable. The outlook from the front was lovely and you could see the deer in the surrounding field, very private area for the hot tub which we managed to use a few times. Jane the owner came and introduced herself on our arrival and gave us lots of info on where to visit in the surrounding areas. She was really pleasant. Would certainty go back again.
The lodge was very clean and spacious and we were amazed when we first opened the doors to it. So quiet and peaceful, and it was lovely to see the deer and their newest member! We didn't want to leave!
The owners were lovely, greeted us on arrival and even came round during the week to clean the hot tub. Was a brilliant break, very relaxing and plenty to do. The weather was boiling hot which meant we just decided to relax around the pod during a few of the days, there was plenty of room and was very homely
Rachel
We loved our stay at Oh Deer. Very comfortable and quiet and though small it had everything we needed and it was just such a restful stay. We absolutely loved the hot tub! Everything was perfectly clean and of good quality too. Really can recommend this.
Stayed here for 5 nights and could not be more pleased with my stay! The size of the pod was perfect for 2 people and the hot tub was lovely. Jane is absolutely wonderful and was always on hand to help when needed. Definitely would recommend this without a shadow of a doubt!
Roseanna
We had an amazing stay at Oh Deer! Everything was to a super high standard, really clean and had everything we wanted. The hot tub was lovely although it took approx. 2 hours to heat up as it was a wood burning one, this was no problem for us, and it was easy to use! Jane the owner was lovely, came to greet us at the start and made us feel very welcome. We have already recommended to a few friends to come with their partners.
