It was a very enjoyable stay and hot tub was lovely to relax in, in the evenings. , The welcome hamper was a special touch, which we brought home to enjoy. I did find though that there wasn’t enough air getting in during the night as there’s only 1 small window at the back of the pod, and if u like me and have bedroom windows wide open then u will feel a bit claustrophobic. Also the bathroom sink wasn’t wide enough and when brushing teeth u have to literally put ur head right underneath the bathroom mirror to be able to spit the excess toothpaste out ur mouth. Also could do with a curtain across the door as from when it got light we was awake, But will def go back but would stay in one there other accommodation
