Camping pod
Liked: As always we loved the scenery and layout of the pods etc
Toilets right there and also showers and main toilets a 30 second walk if that
Disliked: Sadly on this occasion we left a day early :( the rain really ruined the experience for us which isn’t the venues fault
But we also had issues with the bunkhouse having a big party booked in (I don’t think the venue realised it was going to be this) we was in a pod closest to the bunkhouse and outside they decided to play their music and speakers and also had a karaoke machine, it was roughly 9:30 so not in the quiet time but for being stuck inside the pod due to weather for days and then having to listen to that ruined it for us. We were offered to move pod to the other side but being disabled and late, wet conditions etc it just wasn’t worth the more stress it was for us so we just went home. We aren’t sure when we will book again as we felt like we wasted over £200 on an awful stay sadly :(

Camping pod
Liked: Our second trip here, which we extended easily from 2 nights to 4 with the help of the reception team
We came for Halloween and they put carved pumpkins out the pod which was nice, next year we think they should leave them uncarved so we can do that for a bit of fun. Can hire a fire pit from them but we bring our own no issues.
Can hire gas bbq too which we are going to do next time.
Disliked: Pods only have usb power and are solar powered. On a cloudy day you get no charge to the pods to use the usb outlets, and if you do it’s for less then an hour HOWEVER they provide free hire for main charging in lockers you keep key for so again no issue for us but others may find the usb power a hassle
Take your own lights as the lights are also run from the solar too which we have never gotten more then 30 mins light from but again it’s not a problem as we took our own lights second time around
The closer disabled pod toilets are Great! but having no light inside at all meant I had to leave those I left back at the pod in the dark or I’d have to use the toilet the dark which isn’t ideal otherwise they are fab!!
Would be great to have an on site shop in the lil cabin next to the fridge area, just got basic things etc and to keep the wood dry they sell with the pits as we found it too damp to use on first visit
The activities aren’t on enough we’ve never been able to experience them
WIFI Does not reach pod village sadly
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your review, some very useful feedback for us at the centre.
We have just started the installation of mains power to the pods which will ensure the lights and power charging will not be affected by any lack of solar charging. We will also address the lighting to the new waterless toilets installed for more convenient overnight toilet facilities.
We look forward to seeing you and the family again in the future.

Liked: We absolutely loved this campsite! We stayed in one of their pods with our 7 and 9 year olds.
The activities were fantastic, and the children had some much fun getting to know other families. It has such a lovely community feel.
We would recommend, and would definitely return!

Camping pod
Liked: The setting, the space, could easily travel to explore
Disliked: How close the pods were to each other, could hear the people next outside after 11pm
The pod bed wasn’t comfortable at all, would bring an air mattress next time
That the children’s activities weren’t on over the 3 days we stayed
Would camp next time

Camping pod
Liked: Quiet, relaxed, great facilities, staff were helpful and very respectful, within easy reach of plenty of activities and lots of activities on site too.
Disliked: Only downfall was the solar power in the pod, despite us not using any electrics in the pod during the day we only had about 10-30seconds of lights after the sun started going down.....we have however been informed that as of autumn they are changing from the small solar panels to mains electricity in the Pods so that issue will be sorted before our next visit
