Camping pod (family)
Liked: What a stunning little find. The camping pod was exceptionally clean which was impressive considering the rain fall we have had. It felt like everything had been considered to ensure travellers have a fuss free stay - communal kitchen, welly and dog wash, camping pod specific - picnic benches, storage tub, fire facilities. Showers and toilets were gleaming and views were exceptional. Sadly we weren’t on site much to explore but I could see a decent small park and a nearby dog walk trial. Plus lambs everywhere which were so cute! Received a phone call prior to arrival to check all was ok and received a warm welcome when we got there!
Disliked: Nothing to add.

Camping pod (family)
Liked: I booked for my sons 10th birthday as he wanted to go lake district. When I arrived I had a lovely welcome from the owners explaining where our pod was. The site was a lovely farm. The pod was lovely and cosy. Facilities were great women and men's separate showers and toilets washing up area kitchen area. There was a lovely honesty shop which had some lovely homemade cakes my son loved the flap jack. The views were amazing we and a lovely stroll down the side of the river with the dog. Nice peaceful site.
