Guests say
Guests have consistently praised the Laurel Pod for its cleanliness, comfort, and private, peaceful setting. The hot tub is a highlight, often ready upon arrival, and the property is well-located for exploring nearby towns and countryside. The addition of a welcome hamper adds a thoughtful touch, enhancing the overall experience.
Reviewers frequently mention the immaculate condition of the pod and the cleanliness of the hot tub, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property's location is appreciated for its quiet, private setting, with easy access to local shops, pubs, and attractions, as well as proximity to Ormskirk train station for trips to Liverpool.
The pod is described as warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a particularly comfy bed, although one mention of a squeaky bed slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally praised, including the hot tub and cosy interior. However, some minor issues with stiff doors and windows, and the pod becoming very hot in nice weather, suggest room for improvement in maintenance.
The welcome hamper with treats is frequently mentioned as a delightful surprise, contributing to the property's charm. While such gifts are warmly received, they are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

We stayed here for 2 nights, overall it was a lovely little get away, the hot tub was ready to go and the gift hamper was a nice little treat. The area was beautiful and Ormskirk train station being around a 10 minute drive from the pod was a bonus to allow us to travel to Liverpool in under an hour for a lovely night and a few drinks, would recommend!

Fantastic private getaway. Beautifully decorated with a completely private outside space including hot tub. We had a lovely weekend and would go back in a heartbeat. All the needed facilities including tea coffee and sugar and a lovely touch with a basket of treats.

We loved our stay at Laurel Pod in Lathom. We were greeted with a lovey basket that had lots of snacks and sweets. Very private, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The location is great, close to shops, Formby, and Liverpool, but still feels quiet and secluded. The pod was clean, cosy, and check-in was super easy with clear instructions. The hot tub was a real treat after a day out. Great mix of countryside calm with city and coast nearby. Well definitely be back!
