Camping pod (five person)
Liked Beautiful site in a fab location,facilities lovely and clean pub on site was delicious.
Disliked Only problem i had was it said there was a shop onsite but their wasn't. And I paid extra for a hut sleeping 5 people but we only was given the 4 there was no one on the site to ask and we werent entirely sure if the pub would deal with it the site was empty so no reason why we didnt get the correct pod but we made do I was just unhappy that I paid extra.

Liked It was nice and peaceful and the toilet/shower block was nice. Thankfully it was very empty during our stay which meant we were close to the car park and toilets.
Disliked The hut was dirty, the pull out beds were very uncomfortable with such little padding to sleep on. There was an outdoor sink for drinking water which wasn’t the best either. The reception/shop on site was always shut and when we came to check out there was no one anywhere on site, not in the reception or the pub so I had to leave the key next to the reception door, which I don’t thinks very professional at all. We also weren’t given any WiFi passwords.

Camping pod (five person)
Liked Pods we're clean and tidy with plenty of storage! very helpful, friendly staff! Pub onsite serving food! Food was in my opinion excellent and reasonably priced, you can either eat in or take away which we chose to do, toilets clean and quite modern.
Disliked We had a 5 person pod which possibly would suit family with small(ish) children but was a bit small with our 2 18yr old kids, beds were quite hard and uncomfortable! Showers looked awesome but in reality the flow was quite slow and not hot enough! The worst part was the pot wash which consistered of 1 pot sink and two drainers when there was a couple of what looked like unused buildings which could easily be converted

A great place for a quieter holiday with fantastic pods
Camping pod (three person)
Liked The whole experience was five star in every way. The pod was excellent and really clean. The location is great. I was very lucky it was really quiet as only a few pods were being used, which I appreciated.
The arrival was really good and they communicated really well. The departure was so laid back and easy.
The area is really quiet even though it is behind a pub. I would never have known. Next time I'll pop in for a beer.
Would really recommend for anyone that is looking for a more laid back quiet camping pod experiences. The showers were great and the toilet block is so clean.
Disliked nothing

Area and huts are lovely and facilities are clean. Not much on site.
Camping pod (three person)
Liked Hut was clean and tidy, people at bar on site were very friendly and accommodating.
The toilet and shower facilities were clean too.
Disliked It states there's a shop on site but it is closed down, you can see through the window that there's nothing on any of the shelves.
None of the lamps work around the small walk way from the toilets to the huts, so on a night time you have to take your phone or torch as it's complete darkness.
