  • "Lovely well equipped pod, beautiful views, hot tub fabulous"

  • "Absolutely amazing spot!"

    We had a lovely relaxing break, the hot tub was perfect, fishing was great. The owners were fab and really helpful. The pod is perfectly fitted out. We will definitely be back thank you for creating a beautiful place to recharge the batteries.

  • "A wonderful little break."

    The sheep greeted us with curious stares as we pulled the complimentary trolleys past them, carrying our bags to the pod. We loved the pod and fenced off private space which was cosy but still spacious. Within hours of arriving we were greeted by a beautiful Kingfisher, who perched on the fence for a good 5mins. That evening we saw the milkyway for the first time in a very very long time. The bed and new sofa were super comfy. The fencing was adequate for our Lhasa Apso. Only issue was the smoke alarm didn’t like any frying (bacon, french toast) in the small space with door and window open and our dog is scared of loud alarms… The outside grills flame kept going out due to strong winds, we had to get some disposable charcoal BBQ. Would highly recommend to all our friends & family, and we’d possibly join them with the option to book multiple pods/cabins at the same time.

  • "We had an amazing time relaxing in Goose Pod, it was perfect in every way."

    You had everything you needed and we didn’t need to leave the pod. We spent the whole weekend fishing and relaxing outside our pod. When we woke up early in the morning the pod was surrounded by sheep, and the view out to the lake was perfect. Would definitely recommend staying at this lovely place.

    The pod is clean and has everything you need inside. The welcome booklet is helpful. Lots of nature to watch outside the pod. Fishing was good, caught 20lb carp, one thing would be that the net does require replacing as it is very worn. Another lovely relaxing stay.

    The lodge itself was perfect and the scenery was a bonus, the decking when the sun is shining is like being on holiday ha. Also wanted to say a big thank to Andy for taking time to come and show us how the BBQ worked and taking time to have a chat with us.

  • "Great little stay, only thing we did find is the fencing is all fenced off around the pod to stop dogs escaping and letting sheep in, but the gate hasn’t, so our little dogs could escape through the gate."

    Silly little thing but that’s the only issue we had.

  • "On a whole the property was as expected."

    It advertised what was included and a nice quiet atmosphere to relax in the evenings. We did had a few issue with regards to the bathroom. The toilet seat was off its hinges, we were able to put it back on. The plug hole system was broken it wouldn’t allow the flow of water to go down. Each time we had to lift it up to let the water out. Might be worth the owners checking that out. We would stay there again.

  • "We had a great time on our holiday, the place we were staying was clean, tidy, peaceful and had everything we needed to enjoy a few days away."

    I tried to do a little bit of fishing however, the fish were so small they couldn’t even bite onto the smallest hook I had available. The only thing I could suggest to make it more enjoyable is to stock some bigger carp as this is quite a large lake and the likelihood of catching anything is slim. This would turn it into an amazing holiday destination and we would definitely return. We loved that the lodges and pods were separated as this allowed us to enjoy some quiet time away from the world and to relax, you should definitely keep it this way. Thank you for a great holiday!

  • "Had a wonderful couple of days staying here, very quiet and peaceful."

    Perfect amount of privacy! Managed to cook full meals with everything we needed! Only two things that have stopped me from giving five stars. Issues with the hot tub meant we only really had about 1/2 a days use of it without full functions over the three nights we stayed. And although dog friendly all the foot paths near by you had to drive too due to not being able to leave on foot with the dogs because of locked gates and cattle grids. Would come back 100%

  • "Accommodation was easy to find using the post code and directions provided."

    Parked in a dedicated car park and had a short walk to the pod. Buggies were provided to wheel luggage. On arrival at the pod it appeared exactly as advertised, and was in a clean and well maintained state. The hot tub was pre-warmed and was clean. The heating within the lodge was already on and was very welcoming. There are 4 pods on the site, which are far enough away from eachother to not seem overlooked and we felt we had privacy, but was a nice feeling knowing other people were around in case of emergency. Beautiful pod, great views. The only negative was a loose toilet seat, but otherwise perfect. Will book again in the future

    I appreciate that the hot tub cover was replaced and had been identified as being damaged without me having to say anything. It would be useful to have instructions in the information folder on how to work the barbecue, as the oven didn’t look safe to use. A suggestion would be to keep the cooking rings and use the space taken up by the oven with a microwave & toaster. This is standard in Europe

    Great location. Very private but also very open to see the amazing views. Loved the farm feel being surrounded by the sheep and cows. Seeing wildlife like kingfishers , bats and hearing a owl in the distance. The facilities are just what you need and the pod with the hottub was very romantic. Fishing was hard but enjoyable. The only few things we would say need to be improved is the mattress was a little uncomfortable so maybe mattress toppers and also we couldn't find a dustpan and brush to tidy up. Other than that there is everything you need and more provided at the pod. Already looking at booking again.

Amazing location and pods/lodges are located around a lake but with enough privacy that you don’t feel overlooked by neighbouring visitors. Pods were super clean with good amenities and the comfiest bed. The hot tub outside was just the icing on the cake and this gets topped up with chlorine etc daily and cleaned for each visitor - it was also turned on before we arrived so it was already warm and ready to get into when we checked in. Can’t wait to come back already, and the owners of the farm and pods/lodges have got it spot on!

    Surroundings are beautiful, with the pod right on the lakeside. The pod itself was great with all the amenities you could need. Could do with an extractor fan in the kitchen area as when cooking indoors it sets the smoke alarm off. We had to open the door to stop this which wasn't ideal as it was freezing! But this didn't really dampen our stay, just thought I would mention it. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
