Unfortunately it appears that the hot water supply over the kitchen sink had been removed (not sure why), and this made washing up a bit of a challenge. Also, as mentioned to Shaun, it would be useful to have a hob installed, in addition to the microwave and toaster, so that meals can be better prepared.

Jen and Shaun were excellent hosts. The location was ideal for our break. In spite of being close to A1, traffic noise was not an issue. The pod was clean and tidy. It was pleasantly secluded and good to have the off road parking. Nice to be surrounded by livestock.

Nothing it was a perfect stay

We visited pinkys pod this weekend as a small family of three. As soon as we arrived at the pod we were greeted by the friendliest chickens who ate food straight from our hands. Shawn the owner arrived shortly after to also greet us and introduce us to the most adorable pigs who were super friendly. The owners Shawn and Jennifer were wonderful hosts who made sure we were having a lovely time. The pod itself was extremely welcoming and cosy. The perfect size for the 3 of us. It was clean and in perfect condition with all kitchenware needed. We also asked to buy some eggs ahead of our visit which were in the fridge along with fresh milk when we arrived, a very lovely touch. The animals for us were a huge selling point and they did not disappoint. Will 100% be visiting rock lodge again later in the year. Fantastic stay all round.

The pod is unbelievably cozy! It does get quite warm during the day which is expected as it’s a pod, this wasn’t a problem for us as we were out exploring all day :) it was the perfect temperature at night. The pigs and chickens are so adorable and it was very peaceful reading outside being around them. The location is perfect so close to everything you need and the hosts were amazing, couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be returning later in the year if there’s availability!!

Nothing at all, it’s perfect.

This little pod is a joy as are its hosts and the friendly chickens and pigs. It has absolutely everything you could want or need. It’s so private and quiet. We sat happily with our fire pit at night, slept amazingly well as it’s so comfortable and it’s well located for popping into Alnwick. Just a perfect place to get away and can’t wait to come back. Waking up to share breakfast with the chickens was bliss.

Comfortable and cosy with everything we needed for 2 nights, the kids loved the chickens and pigs

We couldn't figure out the heating but that didn't matter too much and the hot water tap in the main sink didn't work.

Amazing little pod, so easy to find. Jen kindly decorated the pod for my son's 9th birthday. We all loved the chickens and the pigs. Excellent venue and hosts.

Nothing! It was all great.

Location is fantastic, great for Bamburgh, Seahouses, Craster, Alnmouth and Alnwick… the pod is cosy with everything you could need, the hosts Jen & Shaun are wonderful, the chickens are great but the real stars are Del Boy & Rodney. You just have to meet them, and bring them some apples !!

Just wasnt as clean as we expected on initial arrival. Butter on fridge handle and table tops were a bit dirty and sticky.

Perfect base. Central location. Niche little getaway. Had all facilities required for a few night stay with kids. Chickens and pigs the kids loved.

A dehumidifier would complete the place as it was a little damp, mostly due to a lot of rain.

This is a lovely little pod, nestled into a bit of woodland a 10 minute drive from the centre of Alnwick. Shaun and Jen are lovely and made us feel very much at home in the pod. Our little one loved the chickens and pigs nearby and was excited to be back each time we returned from a day out. It very comfortably slept 2 adults and a child. It was perfectly warm and snuggly in cold and wet early spring.

Just the noise of cars in the night.

Nice quiet secluded spot within a short drive to Alnwick. There was a bit of noise at night from the A1 but ear plugs were provided. Lovely cosy pod.

Nothing to dislike

Great accommodation. Stayed for 2 nights to rediscover parts of Northumberland hiking. Very comfortable, with added bonus of feeding the pigs and chickens. Would thoroughly recommend

Ordinary kettle would have been good instead of coffee maker/water heater.

Hosts friendly and very helpful.

There is nothing I disliked, we had an amazing chilled stay.

It was quirky, comfortable and cosy. The rescue piggies, chickens and dogs were just extra special.

Lovely location. Excellent pod. Value for money

A bit close to the road. Sofa bed a bit uncomfortable for sitting and sleeping. We were expecting noise from chickens but if you are a light sleeper the crowing might wake you up. 😉

Hosts are lovely. Pod is warm and has just enough equipment etc for a couple of nights. Close to places to see and do.

Quirky little pod in a relaxing location. Grandchildren enjoyed petting pigs and chickens. Alnwick Gardens and Lilidorei a short drive away.

No complaints at all

The owners were superb, very warming and welcoming. They have a lovely property with pigs and chickens which also greet you on arrival. The cabin was immaculate and had all the needs you should require when staying in a pod/cabin, would highly recommend

Lovely little pod and first time staying in one of these. Our host was really friendly, great with the kids and responded quickly prior to arrival. Family had a really comfortable stay and the kids were so excited to stay here. The chickens and pigs deserve a mention, really nice touch having animals around and we got to feed and pet them too. Found it hilarious the chickens and rooster followed us everywhere expecting food and were waiting at the door in the morning when we opened the curtains. Close to Alnwick, which is beautiful, as well as many other fantastic places to visit. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Nothing it was a perfect weekend.

Loved the place, it is comfortable and cosy . We loved the chickens and the trotter family. Our granddaughter has insisted her mam & dad take back again . A perfect place to stay for a visit to Alnwick Gardens and Lilidorei.

N/A. There was nothing that I did not like. I was a great place to stay to see the sites in Northumbria.

Friendly hosts who were in contact to make sure I was settled ok. The farm environment was fun and it was easy to get to.. Very cozy and had nice amenities. The baby pigs were so cute!

Stayed in July 2023

Quite close to a main road

Well equipped glamping pod in the garden. It had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Loved the chicken that came to the glass door to say good morning. Also the cute spotted piglets in their pen.
