Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the pod to be immaculate and tidy. A few mentioned cobwebs and dust, suggesting room for improvement, but these were isolated comments amidst overall positive feedback on cleanliness.
The location is generally praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with easy access to local towns and attractions. Some guests desired more activities in the immediate area, but the quiet setting was a positive aspect for most.
Comfort received mixed reviews; many found the pod cosy and the bed comfortable, while others mentioned issues with the bed's accessibility and firmness. The pod's warmth and privacy were well-received.
There is not enough information to accurately score facilities and maintenance. While guests are generally satisfied with the facilities, mentioning the hot tub and BBQ, there are comments about the need for better outdoor lighting, a broken shower, and a lack of hot water which suggest some maintenance issues.
The host's thoughtfulness is highly commended, with mentions of the hot tub being lit daily and gifts for special occasions. It's important to note that such personal touches, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

Hot tub was lit every day and the owners even went above and beyond to put extra logs to make it warmer. Only thing i would mention is there was no hot water the whole time we was there, but this wasnt a big minus for us.
