"Great for relaxing and a glass of wine"

8.0

Quiet and peaceful, comfy bed

The steps were slippery and fell over, was very hot even with all the doors open so maybe a little fan/aircon

"Amazing place to stay"

10.0

We hit very bad weather when arriving here for a night, but the pod is wonderful regardless of the weather. The owners certainly put a lot of thought into making you comfortable, so there is plenty of guidance, boots and raincoats ready to help you out. The pod itself sits in such a beautiful location, between sheep and overlooking endless rolling hills. We brought our own food and cooked dinner, and with music on the bluetooth speaker we felt like we were alone in the world. It is rare to find a place where you can still isolate yourself like this while still enjoying all comfort.

The weather but that’s obviously beyond control :)
