What customers say
Pods are described as clean, cosy, well-equipped, and comfortable with thoughtful touches like marshmallows. Friendly and accommodating hosts, lovely farm animals, and beautiful views are frequently highlighted. Some guests noted the small fridge size and that the pods are better suited for couples or families with one child due to limited space. Issues with tap water taste and quality have been addressed by the management, with bottled water also provided. The heater noise and curtains' privacy were minor points of feedback.

Liked Everything here is amazing, hosts are great, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Our daughter loved it and even got upset when we had to leave.
Thankyou for a lovely couple days, we are looking forward to coming again soon.

Liked Well equipped cabin with shower, toilet, TV, fridge, kettle, toaster, gas hobs, cutlery, plates
Good views
Friendly and accommodating hosts
Easter eggs for kids was a nice touch!
Disliked A couple of teething issues but all were resolved very quickly including a problem with the hot water, the heater and an extra bed needed.
As others have mentioned a bit of a squeeze for 4 people.

Camping pod
Liked Friendly welcome. Well equipped and cosy-everything you need for a last minute weekend away.
Perfect location for getting out in the Peak District.
Marshmallows and fire wood provided! Lovely touch!
Drinking water provided.
Disliked Lost some water heat during the Saturday… possibly due to water pressure?
Wasn’t a problem to us and certainly did not ruin our stay.

Great facilities, lovely site, and friendly staff
Camping pod
Liked My young son really enjoyed the animals on site. The staff/owners were really friendly, the location was great, and the pod very cozy and comfortable.
Disliked Not really any dislikes, although the heater was quite loud. But did a decent job of heating the pod on what was a very cold night outside.

Highly recommended glamping, better for 2 or 3
Camping pod
Liked Pod impeccable with all what you would need, including bedding, towels and full equipped kitchen. Double bed and single bed very comfortable Great service, owner very friendly and ready to help if asked. Only down is that due to small space is not suitable for 4. To accommodate the foldable single bed for the 4th person, have to empty the floor space where is the small table and luggage. More appropriate for a couple alone or a couple with only one small kid. Amazing that dogs are so welcome, very grateful of that!

Lovely night away in an excellent location.
Camping pod
Liked We loved our stay! The owner was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Nice touches like the marshmallows and treats on the table on arrival. Wood for fire pit provided and included in the price. Really good value for money. Water provided aswell.
Disliked The curtains to the door of the pod could do with being blackout as you can see right through into the pod which doesn’t give you much privacy. Tap water is also unusable but bottle water was provided!
