    The pod was so cozy and comfortable. The bed really nice, everything very clean and well equipped. The pond and that big tree was wonderful to look at. So peaceful. Even with rain it was great to sit at the windows just relaxing. Good wifi aswell. The owner Diane was super helpful helping us get to the property. Will definitely come back.

    Thank you for your kind comment I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and looking forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  • "The pod was absolutely exquisite."

    Lovely and cosy and in the most perfect location. We loved every part of staying here. The only thing I would like to recommend is that you have pillow and duvet protectors. Also we did notice the curtains had some stains on the backs. We absolutely loved staying here and it really was the most pleasant place we've ever stayed. To the owners you have crested a beautiful place in a gorgeous location we couldn't find the words to rate it, as it's 10/10 for us. We highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in a quiet area. We have booked to visit again as we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. We will visit here often now. Thanks again

  • "I had a really lovely stay at Jacob's Meadow."

    Check in was easy. The little cabin was brilliant. It was clean, comfortable and with everything you could need. The area was peaceful and beautiful, with access to lots of nice places for walking. I sent a couple of queries to the owners while I was there, and they got back to me and sorted things promptly. I'd definitely recommend.

  • "What a little gem this is!"

    The pod is a total home from home with the hosts having thought of literally everything you could need, even board games and old fashioned comedy dvds! On arrival the place was absolutely spotless . The box of shortbread waiting for us was a lovely touch too. The small space is maximised very cleverly and there was plenty of room for 2 of us and my huge dog! The setting is so picturesque and peaceful, just what you need on a get away from it all break. The little summer house at the top of the meadow is a great addition for POD1 as currently there’s no undercover outdoor seating. We made full use of it, watching the wildlife in and around the pond. All in all a fab stay in a faultless place. We will be back!

  • "There is literally nothing bad I can say about our stay."

    We saw the hosts a few times always friendly, helpful and really chatty. Our Pod was beautifully set in the countryside we got to see the sun setting, listening to the birds chat away and the sound of the stream was peaceful and calming. The Pod catered to all our needs, quiet surroundings, everything in it we needed, the beds were really comfortable, the shower was amazing and we always had hot running water.. It was warm and cosy. There are plenty of walking routes around the area and the hosts have a wonderful folder detailing everything you need to know about the Pod and things to do around the area. I will definitely recommend a stay here and gladly recommend to all my family and friends.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments and thank you for the lovely comments in the guest book very much appreciated. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "We stayed at Jacobs Meadow this weekend and we had such a peaceful time with our dog Narla."

    We just needed a break away and this was perfect. The only thing that was a negative was the amount of dog poop in the garden. I did try to pick up as much as I could. Obviously not the owners fault, it’s the previous people who would have stayed and not bothered to pick up after their dogs. But apart from that we had a brilliant time! Definitely would return.

    Very clean and tidy. Lovely grounds. Nice walks locally. I would come back. Important to note there is another pod in the grounds so you could have neighbours. Wasn’t occupied when I stayed and no issue unless you have a dog that can react to other dogs (which I do).

  • "We had a wonderful little stay over Easter in this cute, little pod which we could only describe as a glamping experience!"

    The hosts are really friendly, the grounds are beautiful especially in the evening when all the local wild life pop in! The pub around the corner was nice to stop in after a days walking, however they only serve food on a weds and fri and it’s only pizza! Stiper stone nature reserve is about a 15 minute drive away and is great for experienced walkers. The only negative which was an over sight on our half is that there is no cooker/hob, but a hot plate is provided which was fun to cook breakfast on in the morning. They also have a lovely bbq set up which I would highly recommend taking food for! Overall it was a lovely break, thanks again!
