Binsey camping pod (two person)
Liked: Stayed in Binsey Camping Pod. Wonderful welcome. Lovely pod. Bed was very comfortable. Perfect for couples. If like me you are travelling with a hairy snoring-champion friend whose feet make top n tailing impossible it’s fine, they’ll be comfy on a camp mat in the floor. Pod was heated, kettle, TV, torch, cooler, firepit and toilet outside, everything you need. Lovely peaceful surroundings, close enough to pubs and a cafe. Will definitely return, albeit with a fresher-socked companion.

Binsey camping pod (two person)
Liked: The view was amazing, friendly sheep, sunset was lush. The toilet block was a short walk as they usually are but they was a toilet for no1. Only during the night this was handy. Kitchen facilities although I wasn’t that prepared.
Disliked: Trying to locate the place, however I rang the number and the gentleman was very helpful and directed me

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Everything was brilliant. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating, even going to the extent of changing our stay to the pod due to the bad storm. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, we were given our own space but the hosts were available if needed. Everything was so clean and tidy, kitchen area was great as well as the toilets being clean. We are planning on booking again already for August! Thank you

Binsey camping pod (two person)
Liked: What a fabulous and beautiful camping pod! We have been to a number of pods and this was by far one of our favourites. Super cosy and warm. There’s a small onsite kitchen which is perfect for cooking small meals. The facilities are clean and to a high standard. The host were fantastic and give information regarding the local village and good food spots. We will absolutely be booking another stay here!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Stayed in the Shepard’s hut the bed was very lovely and comfy. It was gated separately which allowed our dog to have a roam around. Owners were pleasant and very helpful , told us a-bit about the area as we hadn’t been before. Location was right near the sea quiet not much around but for what we wanted it was ideal, the stars at night time were unreal. Coffee, tea and sugar was supplied along with a cooler box and a heater which was very useful and a nice touch.
Disliked: Nothing.
