The Holly Pod At West Farleigh Reviews

Paul
Very clean, they have everything you need. Easy to get too. And close to visit other areas for the day. So relaxing especially getting in the hot tub. Will be definitely back next year.
Kristina
The location is really beautiful! But beware as the country roads are very tedious (this is anywhere in Devon and Cornwall in general!). The addition of the hot tub was perfect way to chill after wandering the towns and forests! No light pollution meant starry skies and the enclosed area meant my puppy could freely wander without having to worry abRead moreout any escapes! She loved it, we loved it! A perfect break away from the busy hustle and bustle of modern life! Keeping this in my favourites! Hide
Clive
Lovely and comfortable, quiet and peaceful with great views. Well equipped and a beautiful setting. Quick drive to very good pub and hot tub was a nice addition.
Tracey
This was one of the nicest short breaks we have ever had. Everything about it was perfect, we want to go back
Katie
We didnt want to leave! The pod was bliss. So well equipped with everything we needed. It was perfect for a rest and recovery weekend. We reconnected with nature, went on great walks, enjoyed the amazing views and of course relaxed in the amazing hot tub. We will definitely be back! Thank you!
Rose
We cannot recommend The Holly Pod enough. If you want seclusion, amazing views, tranquility and peace with a little indulgence (the hot tub) then this place is for you. We had the most amazing 5 night stay even though the weather was awful. I hope to be back very soon.
Sandra
We absolutely loved our stay in Holly Pod. It's a true escape from reality. The pod was cosy, well equipped and completely private. The enclosed garden was great for our 2 dogs. The added bonus of the hot tub was very much enjoyed by us even though the weather was not on our side! We've already booked to return to in the summer!
Jeanette
Absolutely lovely place to stay, relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful views especially when just chilling in the hot tub.
Carlo
The Holly Pod is a fantastic little getaway. Very remote, it feels like youre in your own little space with the fields to yourself. I can see why people bring their dogs to the pod as theres a great big field out in front where they can roam freely (Ill bring my dog next time if I come back!). Very nice facilities that make it a cosy, heartwarming Read morestay. Not forgetting the jacuzzi, that was very enjoyable and relaxing. All in all, a lovely stay for any couple that want some peace and quiet :) Hide

Dave
A very warm greeting from the owner and a cosy escape deep in the countryside. Peaceful and relaxing but not too isolated to access shops etc. The hot tub makes for some very relaxing evenings stargazing or just chilling. Well worth going
Molly
A fantastic getaway for every season which left us feeling relaxed and refreshed. Very private and cosy even in the mostly wet weather. The hot tub and views were outstanding.

Heather
What an incredible find! " The Pod" Tranquil, beautiful setting. The views over the Valley were stunning, particularly at sunset. The hot tub was larger than expected, ( as was the Prosecco, cooled nicely in the fridge when we arrived) clean, ambient temperature. Enclosed garden for the dog. Lovely walks. Guest Host Jenny very friendly and helpful, excellent communication. If you just need a peaceful, private hide away, this is for you! Highly recommend. We shall certainly return
Kimberley
Such a wonderful place to visit. We had a lovely long weekend exploring the countryside. The hot tub looking across the beautiful views was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed how peaceful, private and calm the Holly Pod was - its perfect for a relaxing break!
Michelle
Absolutely AMAZING weekend away, in the whole 15years me and my husband have been together, this has to be the best break we have ever had. It was absolutely beautiful, and peaceful! And the much needed break away from the kids and day to day life we lead. The dogs absolutely loved it too and are keen explorers it was lovely to see them so happy! W e will 100% be returning and maybe in a bigger one for the kids to come too!!
H
Fanatic get away !! Really enjoyed our time at the pod ! Jenny was lovely to contact and was always available !! recommended
Jack
This is one of the few properties that has true privacy and isolation. Views are fantastic especially from the hot tub. The property itself is very homely and comfortable. Great enclosed area for pets too and easy parking for any sized vehicle.
Aideen
Both myself and my partner loved our stay here in the Holly Pod, all the touches and detail! The views the hot tub, it was exactly what we needed. We will definitely be looking into booking again
Stuart
Cost , warm & relaxing , very remote & perfect for those seeking to unwind
Heather
Want to say it was awful. But can't. Just don't want to share it!!!! Rebooked it whilst sitting looking over the valley with a glass of prosecco after a hot tub. All after a cracking meal in a nearby pub.
Barry John
Fantastic location. Stunning scenery. Warm, comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Hot tub was a great addition. Would definitely stay again
Tracy
We had a really lovely stay at the holly pod. The views where amazing. The accommodation was perfect for us and our little cocker spaniel. The hot tub was used daily! Highly recommend and we will be returning with an extra little fur baby next time.
Gail
Beautiful Setting and comfortable pod, had everything we needed, the hot tub is amazing even when the weather is not behaving. Relaxing holiday.
Julian
The views are phenomenal and the property is situated in a secluded position giving an unbroken view of the night sky. As we were on holiday during the second heat wave, the pond at the bottom of the hill surrounded by trees was a godsend for us and the dog. The hot tub is of good quality and there are a couple of good pubs a short drive away.
David
Fantastic location, cannot wait to return
kevin
Everything was perfect, the pod was fantastic lovely and peaceful and both dogs really loved staying there
Sarah
Excellent communication from booking, directions to find the Holly Pod. Was allowed early check in. Holly Pod have everything you could think of for self catering. Decking area was great the Hot tub was perfect and larger than expected. The grass area was adequate we had to large dogs with us. You can walk around the farm area. Information book. Ve ry comfy bed and seating area. Scenery was awesome. Loved watching the Barn owl in the evening. Bottle of Prosecco welcome unexpected highly recommend
Rachel
We had a lovely stay at The Holly Pod. Everything was clean and as advertised. The only slight on our stay was the size of the lawn area at the front of the property. It was a lot smaller than it looked on the photos,but there was still room for the dogs to have a sniff around and didnt ruin our stay at all. The views more than made up for it,just spectacular. The shower was brilliant,if somewhat bijou. 2 towels were provided and also useful information packs. Pod was not overlooked at all
Yasmin
The Holly Pod is lovely and kitted out with everything you could need, the jacuzzi was always a lovely temperature, and the views were absolutely breathtaking! The owners are lovely and helpful too; upon seeing our two small dogs could fit through the gate to the property they immediately reinforced it so the whole garden was dog-proofed which was absolutely amazing! I would recommend staying here to everyone!
Paula
As advertised, very clean and tidy and enjoyed the setting, very quiet. Took our dog and he enjoyed it and safe for him to walk around in the garden. Would highly recommend if you want a break in a lovely countryside setting.
ROBERT
If you love peace and quiet and being away from the rat runs, you'll love it here. Load up your larder and fridge to avoid shopping trips down the beautiful narrow country lanes to distant supermarket and enjoy the tranquility of the pod and hot tub.
Anthony
Just a brilliant place very quiet and undisturbed hardly saw anyone else whilst there and the hot tub is just fantastic would thoroughly recommend this place
Mandy
Beautifully cosy had everything we needed to completely relax looking at the stunning views
Lea
My husband and I went and stayed at the Holly Pod for the week with our dog and we absolutely loved our stay! Not a single bad thing to say about it. The place was well kept, we had everything we needed and we was very lucky with the weather! The hot tub was always at a good temperature. The view was beautiful and we loved waking up every morning, sitting outside and watching the sun rise and staying out in the evening to watch the sun set. Completely isolated area, just what we wished for!
Heather
It must be good, this was our 3rd stay here and we have booked again. If you want to relax and recharge your batteries, this is the place. You will never tire of the view!!! You could not see another person all week if you wanted. Just Sit back in the hot tub and listen to the owls. Highly recommend the carvery at The fishermens cot!!!!!!
