Camping pod (classic)
Liked: Clean, functional pod with outdoor seating area and comfortable beds. The site was intimate and private. Great easy access to Lyme Regis and Charmouth.
Disliked: The noise from the road was constant. Ear plugs helped at night. The camp bed for the smaller child was very basic, where the other beds had proper mattresses.

Camping pod (classic)
Liked: Neat and clean, nice toilets, showers and washing up. Good base for visiting the fossil beaches.
Disliked: Be aware this is right next to the A35, so a LOT of traffic noise. Only a small place attached to an outdoor activity centre, so no campsite atmosphere, if that's what you're looking for!

Camping pod (classic)
Liked: Clean, good showers, loos an washing up areas. Nice to have a proper bed when camping. Very small camp I think only 5 pods on site which is nice.
Disliked: It did smell of mildew/damp in the pod and we could hear the main road mostly just because we needed the window cracked open due to the damp smell.

Camping pod (deluxe)
Liked: We enjoyed our stay immensely. The atmosphere around the pods is beautiful and there is access to a log fire, water and a BBQ. The facilities were brilliant and there is a local shop a short drive away. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we were after. We will definitely be booking to come again!
