The pod was very clean and well maintained everything was as expected. The park was quite remote but easy to find. The surrounding area had lovely views

Date of stay: 28th March 2025

The lodge was spotlessly clean and the staff on-site were really friendly and helpful. We loved the location and felt it was great value for money. Definitely planning to come back soon!

Emily
Date of stay: 11th March 2025

We had a lovely stay, the pod was super comfy and really clean. The Wi-Fi worked well, which was great, but its a shame the smart TV didnt connect - wouldve been a nice touch. The only tiny thing was some of the corners in the floor werent spotless, but honestly, it wasnt a big deal. Wed definitely return!
