Amazing pod the best I've seen, great place to relax and distress. We had no issues thoroughly enjoyed it. One tip make sure you take all your food with you as shops are few and far between with limited parking in the villages. Apart from that enjoy and taken in all the scenery it's amazing.

We loved our stay, we felt relaxed from the minute we arrived and unloaded the car, it was quiet and peaceful lying on the bed looking out at the sheep grazing in the fields, we were even lucky enough to see a lamb being born and taking its first steps helped by Mum!
