Liked: Very comfortable , clean pod with everything you could need for a short stay, in beautiful surroundings. Hugh and Sarah are the most welcoming hosts , very approachable and the dinners that they delivered to our pod were delicious. We will definitely be going back. Sadly for us the fishing was very very slow but as we know that's how it goes !

Camping pod
Liked: The Pod was fantastic and provided all the requirements for our stay. The food delivered daily to the Pod was both good value for the price and was piping hot on arrival. The setting was beautiful and on the whole the weather was kind to us.
Disliked: Sadly the fishing did not live up to expectations and is predominantly aimed at the Big Carp Anglers

From the manager: Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us and writing a review, however, we felt we must address a couple of the issues you have raised to assist future pitch up bookers.... Firstly you stayed as 2 adult men sharing the pod you did not bring any children with you so we are unsure why you have given us a child friendly score of 1. Secondly If you look at our list of facilities we do not offer WIFI because there is no connection to the lake. lastly, we strive to be courteous to all our guests, we offered you an early check in and on the day you left, you chose to leave early. With regards to the fishing - this was included in the price of your stay for 2 people. The price for the pod is the same whether you choose to fish or not. Our 3 acre lake has Carp to 33lb but there are many species to fish for, such as, Roach, Rudd, Bream, Tench, Pike, Perch.... We understand that you managed to catch a lovely carp weighing over 19lb? Unfortunately we are not in control of the weather or if the fish are choosing to bite!!! Whilst we except constructive criticism mother nature is above our control. Hugh & Sarah
