Guests say

Guests have had a delightful experience at Lovesome Pod, praising its cosy and spacious accommodation, warm hospitality from hosts Mary and John, and the relaxing hot tub. The serene location offers privacy and proximity to Northallerton's attractions. While most feedback is positive, a few guests suggested improvements for comfort during their stay.

Reviews consistently mention the pod being clean and well-maintained, with only a single mention of flies around the hot tub, which does not seem to be a recurring issue.

The location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for relaxation, with easy access to local attractions. However, one review mentioned unpleasant farm smells, which slightly impacts the score.

The pod is often referred to as cosy and warm, suggesting a high level of comfort. There are some suggestions for additional amenities such as blackout curtains and more storage space.

Facilities like the hot tub are highly praised, though there are recommendations for improvements such as more plastic glasses, a roof over the hot tub, and better heating. The presence of Netflix and Prime is a plus.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like fresh milk, homemade cookies, and mince pies. While these gifts enhance the experience, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Gracie

    The pod was gorgeous, even with only being there for 3 nights we considered it home. We didn’t want to leave. Mary was so sweet and even with a couple of slight issues that arose (they had a burst pipe that stopped the water for a couple of hours) they were hell bent on making everything perfect for us. And it was!! We will definitely be coming back

  • Emma

    The hot tub was lovely and clean and ready to use as soon as we got there.

  • Gareth

    The Pod itself was good other than lack of storage space, also read the description and note the only cooking equipment is a toaster, kettle and . Microwave. The hot tub was fine with its own changing room. We spent 4 nights there.
