What’s not to love? From the moment we arrived, the views were amazing. Having alpacas right next to the pod was such a highlight - they were absolutely lovely to watch! There were even some baby alpacas! The neighbouring paddock had horses and sheep too, which added to the whole countryside feel. The peace and quiet was incredible and on clear evenings we were treated to some stunning sunsets and a beautiful sky full of stars (I love the night sky)!
Wildlife can be heard throughout the day and night, which made it feel even more magical, but it never once disturbed our sleep. The location is beautifully remote, perfect if you want to switch off and truly relax from the every day hustle and bustle.
The pod itself was spotless. The bedding was fresh and crisp, the main bed was wonderfully comfortable and the kids loved having their little camp beds. The kitchen and bathroom were both immaculate, with everything you could possibly need; pots, pans, cutlery, glasses and even a tea towel. There is a gas BBQ outside for cooking, while inside the kitchen you’ve got a kettle and microwave, so mealtimes were easy and flexible. It meant we didn’t have to bring loads of extra things with us, which made life easier. There is also a small fridge in the pod. There is electricity in both the pod and kitchen area, so it really does feel like a cosy home away from home and made life a little bit easier (especially with a teenager and a pre-teen).
One thing we really loved is that the facilities aren’t shared. Everything was just for us, which made it feel even more private. Our pod also had its own little fenced-off area of land, almost like having a garden, which was brilliant for the kids and our dog to run around safely while we relaxed.
The site is also dog-friendly, though dogs do need to be kept on a lead, which is understandable given the alpacas, horses, and sheep nearby.
A real highlight for us was the campfire! Logs are available to buy on site and sitting by the fire under the night sky made our evenings extra special. Stargazing in that peaceful setting was unforgettable!
The owner and his family were absolutely lovely – so welcoming and kind and nothing was too much trouble for them. It really made the whole experience feel even more personal and enjoyable.
We can’t recommend this place enough – it’s peaceful, welcoming and such a perfect escape from everyday life. We didn't want to leave, that's how amazing and perfect our stay was. We'll definitely go back next year.
*please ignore the 1 star for the WiFi - there is no WiFi but we didn't mind at all! It made it extra peaceful without phones constantly pinging. It wont let me undo the star*
