Sarah
We had a lovely 5-night stay. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The pod was spotless and cosyand Bruce loved every minute too! Definitely recommend!
Emily
We had a fantastic stay at this gorgeous glamping pod! The lodge is super comfy, spotlessand well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars was absolutely magical. The views are truly stunningand there are plenty of scenic walks nearby to explore. Simon and Jules are lovely hosts-nothing was too much trouble. Our dog Tasha loved it too! Honestly, we didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return!
Emma
The pods are super comfy and nestled in a peaceful spot, though there's still loads to explore nearby. The hosts were really friendly and eager to help. The place was spotless when we got there. Wish we had more time!
Emma Clarke
We really felt at home hereand Rolo loved all the fuss. The hot tub was a highlight, especially after a long walk. Definitely recommend to friends and family for a chill escape.
Emily Carter
We had a really lovely stay. The cabin was spotless and nestled in such a gorgeous spot. It had everything we needed, though if you're visiting in summer, a fan is a must because it gets pretty warm at night. Simon was fantastic-super friendly and helpful, offering some great tips for local spots. My 12-year-old loved it and keeps saying she wants to come back every year!
Emma
Simon was genuinely friendly and made us feel right at home during our weekend stay for my birthday. The directions to get there were straightforward, which was a relief. He shared some great tips on local spots and how to get around. The place is super peaceful, even with other pods nearby, you can barely hear a thing. The weather was lovely, but I did get a bit warm overnight and wish I’d brought a fan! The pods were spotless and well kitted out. Good experience overall.
James
We really enjoyed our stay! The pod was spotless and surprisingly spacious, with lovely views to wake up to. The bed was super comfyand there were plenty of nearby walks for our dog. The only thing that was a bit of a letdown was sharing the outdoor space with four other pods - no private enclosed area. We had a dog with usand there was another in a nearby pod, so it wasn't ideal. Hope the owner sorts this out soon. Still, overall, a lovely spot!
Alex Turner
We had a lovely stay in this peaceful spot, surrounded by nature and just a short walk to a gorgeous trail. From check-in to check-out, we felt well cared for and appreciated the friendly vibe. Definitely planning to return soon!
Emma
We had a really lovely stay! The pod was super cosy and tastefully decorated, making it feel welcoming from the start. The location was ideal for us-peaceful and with plenty to see nearby. We enjoyed a nice walk into the local town for tea and only about 10 minutes' drive to visit Hadrian’s Wall sites. The hot tub was a great bonus for relaxing evenings. The owner was genuinely friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely recommend!
Emma Clarke

We just had our first experience in a glamping pod and we absolutely loved it! The pod was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was well equipped for basic on the hob cooking. Good quality fixtures and fittings gave it a luxury feel. The surrounding walks were incredibly gorgeous. The hot tub was also a great addition. We'd definitely stay here again!
