The pod was spacious, well equipped and just what we needed.
A one night stay was booked for NYE and the wood fired hot tub was a perfect way to spend the evening. The hot tub was heated on arrival (slight additional charge which was well worth it) although with the awful weather we had keeping it going proved a challenge. A member of staff did come round to everyone around 10pm to see if we needed help with the hot tubs or in general which was a lovely touch.
We found the pod lovely and warm with the heater and the bed was comfortable. The only niggle would be there's no where to hang anything, which when using a hot tub was needed. Maybe a small rack to hang a towel from would be useful.
The pods have had wooden gazebos built over them since the photos added to the site which was great as the weather wasn't good. They are adorned with solar lights, although sadly ours were the only ones not working. (I was cheered up when everyone else's only lasted an hour however due to lack of sunlight) The view was straight over Derby which gave us panoramic views of fireworks at midnight which was lovely.
Saw lots of reviews mentioning noise from the road, we couldn't hear anything.
Toilet block is lovely and modern and kept clean. The outside eco toilets were great, even used them in the morning and it wasn't cold or uncomfortable like you'd expect on the 1st of January.
We did manage to get stuck in the mud due to the awful weather. The site owner came straight out to us on New Year's Day and recovered us. We can't thank him enough!
We are already looking to come back for a little longer stay.
