It was a lovely place, we enjoyed staying there. The owners were very responsive with our questions and requests. We were surprised to find eggs/milk and bacon in the fridge. Especially because we got there really late and we had no time to buy food for breakfast, really handy before a hike. Lovely facilities if you like fire camps and bbqs.

2nd time coming here now this year (which says it all really!). Honestly couldn’t recommend the place enough. Mr and mrs Irving are both nothing short of brilliant. Very friendly hosts which honestly could not do enough for us. Provided eggs, bacon and milk on arrival which was a nice touch, great to chat to and recommended places for us to visit during our stay. Further to that the area is amazing and the most relaxing getaway you could ask for.

We didn't stay long but this was a beautiful pod. The welcome package was an excellent touch. The facilities and amenities within the pod were exceptional. Everything was clean and well presented. We plan to stay again.
