We also got told about some great walks you can do from the pod which we tried and liked. Peaceful location, and you get a lot of garden, and the outlook is superb. The pod is cosy and warm, is well equipped and has brushed linen on the bed! It is in a good location for visiting many attractions and countryside. The pub opposite is excellent. We have recommended to friends and family already and hope to return soon. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

The âpodâ was clean , extremely well equipped & very comfortable for our 5 day stay. The views were amazing & the âwalksâ indicated by Andy were ideal for anyone with or without a pooch. The enclosed paddock was safe & secure for our dog who was thrilled to have such a large area to run free! We will definitely be returning next year - we can 100% recommend Cherry Pods!

Loved our stay! The only improvement I would suggest is a line of paint or similar to show where the edge of the step is down to the decking! Will be back
