Wooler, Northumberland, England
camping-pod
Syntes om The pod itself was close to the facilities (toilets and washing up). It came with a double socket, light and fridge. Compared to our usual tent we could stand upright. It was very nice to have our own bench for breakfast and evening nibbles. It was a good alternative to a tent and great to try one out for the first time. The location of the site was very good for the various places we were going to visit and at £140 for 4 nights it was really good value.
Syntes ikke om There are a few issues. The pod was carpeted but it was stained. What had not occurred to us when booking is that people bring their dogs and both people and dogs sleep in these pods. (We could see this happen as others who took pods during our stay did just this). We had basic camping equipment with Thermarests and sleeping bags. Given we slept very close to the floor the thought of dogs having spent time on the floor made this rather less appealing. The site is mostly geared around static caravans with a small area given over to touring campers along with the 3 pods. Although the facilities provided were enough for us their standard seemed to reflect that fact that they were for a minority of people. The men’s facilities were just about okay during the weekdays when there were less guests around but come the weekend when it got busier it was a lot less pleasant. The loos didn't flush particularly well. Fluids from the urinals whether from leaking pipes or men who can't aim blended with some of the water from the showers. This drained into a not particularly well cut and sealed hole and grill in the floor. The facilities may have been cleaned a couple of times a day but I am sorry to say I struggled to see the difference. Being a clean and tidy sort of a person I found the facilities unpleasant. One further issue that was far less prevalent at our end of the site were the geese. We wandered to the other end where there was a pond amongst the statics. There was geese poo everywhere and the smell was unpleasant. How the people in the statics put up with this I do not know. After 4 days we were pleased to leave. I contemplated making these comments when handing in the keys but we were short of time and once I got going I might have been some time!
