A lovely quirky pod in the deep countryside, very quiet and peaceful. The perfect spot for connecting with nature or exploring the many nearby attractions. The hosts, Jamie and Helen, were friendly and a source of good local knowledge with recommendations. The hot tub was great after a day out to completely unwind.

Its genuinely the perfect place to go for a break from life, the scenery is beautiful, the lodges are fantastic, you have a handbook inside the lodge itself giving you all the information you could possibly need about everything, the owners are also incredibly friendly and helpful in case youre in a spot of trouble, couldnt recommend this place enoRead moreugh, Im not sure when but you can bet a lot of money that me and my partner will be returning at some point.

The cottage was very cosy, we had a great stay. The surrounding area was a beautiful, quiet getaway from the city. 100% recommend especially if you like an adventure in nature. Only about a 20min drive from the town, we visited Hickory's smokehouse which is another recommendation for any meat lovers.

The pod was lovely, close to goats and sheep. The fact you can use the fields nearby to walk your dogs is amazing. Lovely little church nearby too. We stayed in autumn which was lovely but can image it looks lovely in spring. So many lovely things to see nearby, worth a visit. Also hot tub was a lovely bonus

We had a nice 4 night stay in the Owl pod. It's in a quiet location but within a short drive to pubs and shops. It is well equipped and spacious. The hot tub was great and warm for our arrival. We were able to bring our dog too who had a great time.
