Camping pod
Liked: The location of the pod was a lovely setting. Surrounded by trees and well protected from the elements. The pod was clean and comfy and the staff we met were very friendly.
Disliked: Not a dislike but it would be handy if the lights were on separate switches with a curtain to separate the two sleeping areas in case people want to go to sleep at separate times.

Camping pod
Liked: The pods were really clean, comfortable and a good size. It was clear that there was excellent care taken over the site as there was a super friendly member of staff cleaning every morning.The single beds were an excellent size and we were pleasantly surprised that the pods had heating. There was enough plugs for everyone to charge their phones. We were able to use our camp stove and fire pit which was important to us. We were also impressed with the kitchen facilities which had a large shared fridge, microwave and toaster as well as inside facilities for washing up. Whilst we didn't use it the communal space with seating and a ping pong table was also an excellent touch and would be a brilliant space for groups across multiple pods to hang out. We had an excellent stay. It was the perfect combination of camping and not camping, which on a rainy weekend was exactly what we needed.

Camping pod
Liked: Hive Pods were situated in a perfect delightful place. Enclosed tree space. Fire pit if wanted to use. Toilet and showers just a minute walk. And even a little kitchen area. Children enjoyed the social room on wet days and bicycle a little added extra to explore the picturesque area... Alan the onsite worker was friendly and very helpful with the knowledge of the area...
Disliked: Showers that go very cold then get extremely hot. I did have to set the perfect temperature that stayed without it going cold or randomly hot. I kept the shower going for the children to use otherwise they might get hot
