This was a real find! The pod was compact but perfect, the bed was super comfy, shower pressure and temperature were fantastic. Two ring cooker, microwave and fridge with a small freezer, but the food in the pub next door was outstanding! All crockery etc plus a selection of bubbles, sauces, tea bags, small bottle of milk as well as fresh bacon andRead more eggs to start you off on your first morning! Wood fired hot tub (private) and a sauna pod with a river to cold dip in! Sue was fab as was her place x Hide

We had 4 great nights here. The design and layout is excellent and exactly as it looks on the website. The spec is of the highest standard (mattress the only slight exception for us). The hot tub and sauna are easy to use and good fun. Another bonus is being so close to the pub also owned by Sue. It is very popular and serves lovely food but you arRead moree completely unaware of being so near when in and around the pod. Sue and her team could not have done more to help us and make us feel so welcome. Hide
