    Nothing apart from that I didn’t realise there wasn’t a water tap next to the pod. However, my hosts Julie and David were very friendly and offered to bring extra water. There were two bottles already in the pod. Also they will help bring belongings uphill on the farm quad bike if you like. Beautiful place overlooking a small lake surrounded by trees. Some cows and sheep on adjoining land which were no trouble.

    I absolutely loved the location. It was tranquil and would suit nature lovers who can manage a 10 min walk upwards along a field path with their kit to be rewarded with a special non overlooked pod with garden furniture to sit out on and watch the wildlife. The pod has a small strip light via a solar panel which I hadn’t anticipated and didn’t use as I had camping lights. I believe the pod is heated in cold weather. There is a composting toilet cubicle adjacent. No running water. The pod has a very comfortable double bed with extra blankets , rugs on the floor and two plastic chairs and small side tables. It is compact but cosy and you can watch the stars if it’s a clear night. Check in and check out was easy and non intrusive. I had a fantastic night sleep, woken early morning by the birds and a curious lamb looking through the door.

    Nothing to not like about this place.

    Pictures do not do this little gem justice ,the pod is perfect with a lovely comfotable bed and your own little eco toilet situated just at the side .The view from the seating area is absolutely serene and the sounds from all the animals is just beautiful. Also a big thanks to David from the farm who kindly brought us a flask of coffe in the morning❤️will always return the this little slice of heaven.

    A bit of push to get there on a loaded bike, limited facilities within walking distance and limited walking. The short walk to a tower was fun once you negotiated the fallen trees.

    I liked the remoteness but appreciate others may not. A great place to read, write or paint. Provision of a flask of hot water on arrival, with tea or coffee, was great and much appreciated. Lovely views.

    leaving, could have stayed longer,

    Beautiful location on a working farm, stunning views, POD was comfortable on a cold evening and soon warmed up, Toilet was clean and better than anticipated, Owners were very helpful and assisted in taking our luggage up to the pod (something we didn't expect), This is "back to basics" accommodation that is clean, comfortable and set in a great location, If your looking for an outdoor experience with more comfort than camping this is it, USB sockets and LED lighting in the pod were a nice touch,

    The stars were amazing from the pod, due to no light pollution. The bird song was amazing. Excellent location. The bed was comfortable, the pod was really clean, little extra’s bottles of water and a potable charging unit were great. The owners went above and beyond to be helpful. We couldn’t find the location and they came to us, so we could follow them. If you want to visit somewhere to totally switch off/ be off grid with amazing views this is the place. I’d definitely recommend.

    The pod can be a little difficult to find, especially in the dark so bear in mind it's best to arrive in sunlight hours. Somewhere sheltered to put muddy shoes would be nice, so shoes don't have to be kept inside the pod making it wet and muddy.

    Brilliant view and location. Hosts were extremely friendly and had lots of interesting knowledge of the area. It was clean and comfortable. The toilet was quite nice, better than expected. Very basic but you know what you're getting when you book. It was cold (no heating in the pod) however plenty of blankets and a hot water bottle was in the bed so we soon warmed up. The full power bank provided to charge phones was a thoughtful addition.

    Although it wasn't an issue for me, some may find the lack of a shower or running water an inconvenience.

    The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Although it was rather wet and windy while I was visiting, the pod stayed relatively warm and had plenty of extra blankets if I needed them. The view and area was astonishing, it was almost silent apart from the wind and the birds. I had an absolutely fantastic visit.

    Nothing, other than having to leave to go home!

    The location of the pod was nothing short of breathtaking. Over looking a lake and the views across in all directions was stunning. Loved how secluded you felt. The hosts were amazing and couldn't be more helpful. They kept in touch checking if I was ok and if I needed anything. Extra duvet and blankets were given due to cold temperature. Honestly, this is a little gem.

    The steep climb up the hill to the pod. It's unavoidable but it made us think hard about what to take with us to avoid unnecessary repeat journeys.

    The views were excellent, the pod was clean and comfortable. Julie and her husband were very responsive to our requests for water, batteries and logs for the fire pit.

    There is a few minute walk uphill to reach the pod. But i wouldn't really say this is a negative, as it makes for complete privacy and peace and quiet once you are up there. Plus David was on hand to help take some of our gear up on the quad.

    What a unique and gorgeous place to stay! Photos really don't do it justice. The pod is totally secluded which we loved. Plenty of space around you and the view down to the little lake is stunning. The pod is off grid, but every effort has been made to make it comfortable. With solar powered lights, and a usb plug for charging. There is also some additional storage space in the shed housing the compost loo, which was handy. Really comfy bed. Hosts David and Julie couldn't have been more welcoming. Walking in the area is also stunning. We will be visiting again for a two night stay next time!
