Absolutely beautiful Pod.. the owners Andy and Mandy were so lovely and literally catered for everything. The hot tub is fantastic at night for star gazing. Loads of space outside for our dog and fully fenced off. The pod is ideally situated for easy access to some of the most wonderful places we have ever been to.

Maurice

Great place to stay. Lovely clean accommodation excellent little bathroom. The outdoor area is extremely large but fully fence off so you dog cannot escape. Brilliant for watching the stars at night as you don't have any neighbours only fields of sheep. Probably the best place we have stayed at in a very long time.

Had a very lovely stay here. The pod was very cozy and the location was very peaceful. Mandy and Andy are very welcoming and helpful hosts. My only complaint is that we didn't book to stay for longer!

Shannon

Perfect getaway with lovely views! Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub whilst watching all the farm animals and playing music from the installed speakers within the cabin! Met Andy upon arrival and he was very kind and welcoming, and also had a goodies package when we arrived which was extra thoughtful!

Alexandra

This short getaway was exactly we needed over the Easter break! When we arrived, everything was perfect - from the pre-heated hot tub, to the homemade scones, jam and clotted cream, from the cheeky bottle of fizz to the warm welcome of Mandy and Andy! The pod is utterly delightful and there were so many useful additions (e.g.: two little torches; t rays for muddy shoes and board games for rainy evenings)! Watching the sunset from the fire pit was a highlight. This place really is wonderful!

Dmytro

Just returned from spending 4 nights in this amazing cabin. The spacious cabin is equipped with everything you need whilst staying in a remote location without compromising on comfort. Outside views across the farm and further out are great in combination with the hot tub that is located right on front deck. Loads to do locally: walks, beaches, pub s in nearby towns, horse riding 5 mins away from the farm etc. You wont be bored or disappointed! Thanks again for accommodating us!

Natasha

Very much enjoyed staying in the pod with its own lazy spa and amazing views. The pod was incredibly cosy and also felt big enough for the two of us and our dog. I would happily stay here again. Loved the welcome gifts from the owners and was lovely to meet them both. Thank you for providing a wonderful place to stay.

Kevin

Great accommodation cosy clean everything you needed complementary bottle of prosecco and milk and milk. Great views from hot tub and hosts very friendly and helpful Would highly recommend
