The pod was immaculate on arrival and although late it was easy to access. Lovely location and very peaceful and the hot tub was easy to get going although give yourself plenty of time to heat it up. The break was exactly what we wanted in a beautiful spot. The landlady of the local pub was welcoming and the food was good. We really enjoyed our twoRead more nights and will definitely return.
