What customers say
Pods are clean, cozy, well-equipped, and comfy with nice extras. Hosts are friendly, farm animals are lovely, and views are beautiful. Small fridges and limited space noted for more than two. Tap water issues were resolved; bottled water provided. Heater noise and curtain privacy were minor concerns.

Liked Friendly welcome. Well equipped and cosy-everything you need for a last minute weekend away.
Perfect location for getting out in the Peak District.
Marshmallows and fire wood provided! Lovely touch!
Drinking water provided.
Disliked Lost some water heat during the Saturday… possibly due to water pressure?
Wasn’t a problem to us and certainly did not ruin our stay.

Great facilities, lovely site, and friendly staff
Camping pod
Liked My young son really enjoyed the animals on site. The staff/owners were really friendly, the location was great, and the pod very cozy and comfortable.
Disliked Not really any dislikes, although the heater was quite loud. But did a decent job of heating the pod on what was a very cold night outside.

Highly recommended glamping, better for 2 or 3
Camping pod
Liked Pod impeccable with all what you would need, including bedding, towels and full equipped kitchen. Double bed and single bed very comfortable Great service, owner very friendly and ready to help if asked. Only down is that due to small space is not suitable for 4. To accommodate the foldable single bed for the 4th person, have to empty the floor space where is the small table and luggage. More appropriate for a couple alone or a couple with only one small kid. Amazing that dogs are so welcome, very grateful of that!

Lovely night away in an excellent location.
Camping pod
Liked We loved our stay! The owner was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Nice touches like the marshmallows and treats on the table on arrival. Wood for fire pit provided and included in the price. Really good value for money. Water provided aswell.
Disliked The curtains to the door of the pod could do with being blackout as you can see right through into the pod which doesn’t give you much privacy. Tap water is also unusable but bottle water was provided!

Amazing experience of camping pods.
Camping pod
Liked We liked everything. The pod was spotless clean- really pleased with that and cutely decorated. We received few welcome treats for the campfire. The host was welcoming, he brought firewood for campfires and made an extra journey to deliver it to us. Bottled water is needed but that’s fine by us. In the kitchen was everything we needed. The third and the fourth bed are smaller so preferably for children. Thank you so much. We will definitely come again.
Disliked Nothing

Fantastic, super clean and safe.
Camping pod
Liked Absolutely incredible farm and owners. The pods were super clean, warm and incredibly cosy with the small details like decorations, fragrance, gift basket, clean bedding, towels and extra blankets. Just lovely. We were given plenty of wood and fire starter. Highly recommend this place. Thank you so much

A cosy half term break, even in autumn, with lovely friendly hosts.
Camping pod
Liked The pods are well appointed, with everything we needed for cooking dinner, although it was a bit cold for eating outside. The space heaters were very useful, but we particularly loved the hot water bottle that was provided with marshmallows and hot chocolate in the welcome basket. There was plenty of wood to have fires in the fire pit throughout our stay, and the beds were very comfortable. The children loved making friends with the farm animals, particularly the ponies, chickens and rescue deer.
Disliked The bathroom in Pod 3 could use updating. The water has an odd colour and a strong mineral taste. Bring bottled for cooking and hot drinks.
