Stayed at this lovely location for 6 nights. Pod was more than we expected. Fitted out very well with everything you needed. Debs and Andy were lovely and were happy to stop for a chat and tell us about their holding and always available for any issues (which we had none). Ideally located for days out in the area. We would highly recommend this place and definitely on our list to return to
