    The location was ideal. The pod was clean compact and warm. Nice little touch having a small bottle of washing up liquid to wash the pots.Friendly staff on arrival giving advice about the local area. Short walk into Leyburn to some great pubs.

    We wanted to go for food after a busy day it was a shame we had to get back in the car. With a tired 3 year old the pubs are not in walking distance. A small shop would have been a good idea for the site. The pod was very very hot without the heating on.

    Staff are fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Pods were very clean and it was nice the area was separated from the tents and camper vans etc. it just makes it feel more like glamping. Welcome book was a great addition we choose or next days adventure because of it.

    Little to complain of: the picnic tables under trees suffer from bird droppings but that’s hard to avoid anywhere. The cabin cushions are hard edged if used as a long pillow so I improvised with a rucksack and spare clothing.

    The cabin was basic and fine, pretty much what I expected. The layout of the cabin area is convenient with parking and washroom block very close. The picnic tables alongside were handy for diy breakfast. The site location is good, in quiet farming countryside and a walk across fields to drop down into Leyburn. I liked that the cabins are named after the owner’s dogs and I met the dogs too!

    This place is lovely. It does feel like a chilled private community of only a few sleeping pods and where possible privacy has been well thought through. My only personal concern is it was little uncomfortable for me in the mornings, when we were all sitting on the steps of our pods in a circle having to greet each other and interact. Part of communal camping, I guess - and everyone was super kind and careful so not a biggie but if you aren't a morning person and don't want to socialise it may feel weird. But sitting having a coffee watching the dogs make friends or just listening to the birds is worth the light-touch social awkwardness.

    Easy escape from the hustle and bustle. Small site and closely managed so doesn't feel too rammed or busy. Quiet, natural spaces for the pods, with effort clearly invested to ensure the area around the pods remains well-kept, private, and restful. The walks from campsite are lovely and local town is perfect for a Saturday mooch, lazy brunch, or stop off for supplies. Dogs are truly welcomed and but no one seemed to assume we are all 'dog lovers' (I am not) and nice to have that respect from neighbours. I wld definitely recommend the pods for a spontaneous couple of nights away - embrace the peace and uncomplicated

    There was cutlery but no utensils for food prep.

    A very good nights sleep in a clean camping pod set in a charming wooded glen. Plenty of sockets for regular plugs and usb. Fridge was about silent and didn't disturb sleep, plus it had an ice box. Shoe rack, folding table, and hooks were all useful. The shower block was only a few steps away. It's two single beds plus the option to fill the gap in between with another single to make one big, solid sleeping platform. Good rural location.

    I dont have a negative thing to say.

    I loved the location. Really peaceful and yet so close to the nearest town leyburn. All the facilities were really clean so they have done a good job keeping on top of it. Owner was really friendly and on hand if you needed anything during your stay or advice on the surrounding areas. But also gave you the space that you needed to relax and enjoy yourself. Would highly recommend. We used it as a base to go out walking and the location was really practical, and very peaceful and some lovely views from the back of the pod looking out over the hill at sunrise and sunset.

    There wasn't anything that I would like to comment on, it went beyond our expectations!

    The speediness with communication, The presence and friendliness of staff The cleanliness of the pod and toilet block, and the general character of the setting, very fitting to the location. Big thumbs up, and already looking to book again in July.
