Absolutely brilliant holiday! Debs and Andy are great hosts and have really thought of everything.The pods are very well equipped and spotlessly clean.Wonderful fresh eggs (so yummy) and some milk left for us was a lovely touch! Seeing the animals was a delight!Excellent base to go off and adventure. Nice enclosed area for pups to have a run about.Only sad thing was leaving! We will definitely be returning!

Took our two dogs to stay in this lovely glampng pod.
Took our two dogs to stay in this lovely glampng pod. It’s warm, comfortable and clean. The location is great for exploring the local area. The owners are friendly and welcoming and they seem to have thought of pretty much everything you could possibly need. I would definitely recommend staying here. Oh, and the eggs from the chickens and geese were delicious.
