Amazing Pod Experience!
well-designed pods amazing view comfortable bed quick staff
I found the well-designed pods compact , but they included everything I needed. I enjoyed amazing views with great sunsets. The pull down bed was very comfortable for me. I noticed staff responded straight away to any conversation online.
I had to keep a mouse out of our sleeping area because the pods are surrounded by tall plants. I understood that we were in the countryside. I still would have preferred a mouse-free sleeping area.

handy shop good food superb location late access sheltered area impossible bbq
The shop on site is VERY handy. The restaurant accommodated us last minute. The food was very good. The location was superb.
Given the torrential rain, I felt it poor that you could not access the pods earlier than 4pm. Limited sheltered areas exist for cooking near the pod when it is raining. It was impossible to BBQ because of the rain.
