Camping pod (pet friendly)
Liked: With two adventurous and outdoorsy boys, Fairoak lakes was simply perfect. A tranquil and stunning location, in the midst of picturesque forest, we spotted a kingfisher and some deer. The peace and quiet is indescribable, the owners were friendly and welcoming and fantastic with my sons and the animals both wild and tame were fascinating. I cannot recommend this place enough, it took my breath away and I will definitely return
Disliked: For us, nothing!

Liked: Gorgeous peaceful site, photos don’t do it justice! The pod was lovely, spacious and cozy, with its own deck and chairs/table. Thoughtfully included a small fridge, kettle, toaster, proper sized mugs for tea, tumblers and BBQ utensils. There is a cute little electric fire which is super efficient! Enclosed shower/toilet/sink units were well proportioned and always well stocked and cleaned. Eggs and animal feed available from an honesty box by the showers and yes I spent all weekend feeding the ducks. We had the most wholesome, lovely break! Coal was available to purchase for the BBQ as well as logs for the firepit (each pod has its own which is fab). Honestly feel blessed to have found this little gem. I also loved the detailed welcome email we got beforehand, and they were really responsive and friendly. We only had a couple of days but will definitely return for a longer period!
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Facilities in pod were perfect, kettle/fridge/comfy bed for us and a camp bed each for kids. Night light and little heater. BBQ and fire pit. Lovely toilet/shower units. Honesty box with bird seed and goat/horse food. Kids loved feeding the many ducks and geese. Had a swim in the lake which was amazing. Some beautiful walks around the lakes or further afield if you go out of the site. Joe and Rio were just lovely, kind and helpful. Just such a lovely, lovely feel about the place and my two teenagers loved it / says it all!! Thank you so much for a very relaxing, stress-free break.
Disliked: Nothing at all I have to say!

Liked: We went here last year and had an amazing time, so we decided to come back this year. Its such an amazing place, really peaceful and set in a stunning 😍 location. Pods set near a lake (where you can do some wild swimming. Which our son really enjoyed) lots to see and do near by. 😀 the young family that run it are really lovely and are there to help if you have any questions. We enjoyed feeding the ducks🦆,geese, goats 🐐 and horse 🐎 and an occasional visit from a heron house Martins are interesting to watch in the evening too. I can not recommend this place enough. The access roads to it are lovely too and a bit over grown in places but with a chat with the owners soon gave us another route and it's easier to get to, that being said that's part of its charm. Please check it out for yourselves just not too many of you because we intend to go back 😄😘. Thank you to our wonderful hosts who made out holiday a great one. 😘
Disliked: There's truly not a single thing we disliked.
