Portesham Pods

Positiv Great place. In the heart of the countryside overlooking a pond full of wildlife. A get away from it all, no TV or radio, back to basics.

Negativ As an eco pod, it would be great to have a recycling bin. Chopping board and dust pan & brush wouldn’t assist along with hooks for hanging wet coats.

Positiv Quiet secluded location close to Weymouth. Beautiful tranquil surroundings with a lovely lake full of wildlife to sit and enjoy.

Negativ Upon arrival the entrance to pod up the steps was overgrown with weeds and left very little space to get up and down and carry luggage through without scraping our legs. We were disappointed with the lacks of electrical points. We emailed to ask if there were electrical points for other electrical items and we were told yes, only to find that they are all USB points. During the heat wave we had to go and buy several USB desk fans to stay cool as we couldn't plug in and use our own fans that we brought with us. The host would benefit from providing some sort of fans especially if heat waves continue as the pods were very hot. Also the bed was very uncomfortable to sleep on and the mattress was far too soft to provide any comfort and support. The pod had been cleaned before we arrived but we found hairs on the sink, ring marks on the counters and dust around the edges of the room, dead flies around and the blanket provided in the wardrobe wasn't clean. Bedding was provided but we brought our own luckily as the bedding wasn't clean there was some black mould on the duvet they provided and the pillows had yellow marks on the corners. The doors and windows to the pod were stiff and lopsided so was hard to open and close and need looking at as it took us several attempts to lock the doors up each time we left the pod.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Sorry you felt like giving us a bad review.
To address some of your points. The pods are sold as off grid living back to nature with a comfortable stay. The weeds you are talking are wild flowers .providing food for the birds and the bees as you said where nice to watch.Bedding .unless you pre book there is no bedding provided only protected covers.on the pillows and mattress. A 13 amp 3 pin plug is in the pod by the mirror. Sorry the heat of this summer . Its out of our control. Perhaps in future you need to read the provided information before booking at any off grid holliday
Sorry for your miss understandings

Positiv Locations was wonderful - pods were very clean, lovely setting, great shower. Bed very comfortable

Negativ Very hot in pod - obviously the weather was very hot but the fan wasn't great. Also needed more plug sockets - only one found in the cupboard by the bathroom.

Positiv peaceful location. Very clean.

Negativ Bit hot, but then the weather is very hot. If the sofa had been a sofa bed, we could have slept seperately.

Positiv Lovely peaceful location. It was perfect as we had 1 pod and my daughter and her husband had the other as there are only 2 pods at the location.
As the pods are quite isolated it might be nice to take a pack of cards or some travel games for a bit of peaceful entertainment.
I would highly recommend as a lovely getaway

Positiv loved the tranquility, the ducks, the deer, the swifts, leaping fish. Very well equipped. Could have done with a cafetiere for necessary early am coffee. James was so helpful and a good host.
Loved proximity to Bennetts Water Garden and Abbotsbury.

Negativ Missed the 3pin plug for my hairdryer! The heat after returning Day 1. Closed curtains during day thereafter whilst out and about.

Positiv Absolutely perfect.

Stayed 2 nights and cannot fault the location. Quite, peaceful and relaxing. A spot away from the chaos of life.
