"It was very nice, but the water pressure is terrible, though didn’t spoil our little break."
The hot tub is so good. We really had a lovely stay.
-
"Would recommend-everything from the wine / chocolate welcome pack to the quality lighting in the hot tub ."
So clean and it has everything you need -and a great clean site to boot .... only thing missing is a path so you can walk into Thornton -le -dale !

"We enjoyed our stay."
The only negative was the shower pressure, which was really low and at times the shower water flow would just stop.
-
"Lovely location however very disappointed with the cleanliness of the Pod."
The first part of our stay was spent cleaning oven trays, pots and sides. The shower ran cold and at times no water pressure through any tap. The Pod was well heated and the hot tub was lovely however with two dogs it was difficult to relax as the garden was not secure and the dogs escaped multiple times.
-
"I liked the glamping pod, it was well heated."
Parking wasn’t an issue and good location. However, water pressure didn’t work so couldn’t shower or drink the water, I wish this was explained beforehand as we were running around to shops to buy water. I don’t think they maintained the hot tub while we were gone, skin felt very itchy and felt dirty. Mattress was also very uncomfortable but again everyone sleeps differently.

"The fact that this property is listed as Dog secure was a major factor in us booking."
It however was not Dog Secure. Our 3 year dog could very easily (and did very easily) get under 2 of the wooden gates. This was incredibly frustrating. Another important thing to note is that this listing uses a Borehole for it's water supply. We did not know this before booking and given that I am heavily immunosuppressed it posed a credible risk to my health. We over came this by buying bottled water but even washing in borehole water carries risk, and so I was not able to have a proper shower.

"On arrival pod looked great , bathroom was clean and tidy, everything seemed to be there however when I went to put food in the fridge it wasn’t very clean and fridge door was broken , even worse for me was the state of the oven it was absolutely filthy as was the grill rack in it ."
I don’t go away to clean up after anyone else so we could not use that !! Kitchen units themselves could do with a really good clean you can see someone has wiped then but they are just a streaky mess ! Just feel a lot more care and attention is needed on the cleaning !! On the positive side hot tub was lovely had a lovely evening watching the stars from it .

"We loved staying here."
The pod was clean, tidy and had beautiful scenery. Me and my partner had a lovely time here. It was so peaceful and relaxing and they hottub was great. We would definitely come here again in a heart beat
-
"Couldn't get hottub working the 2nd night as there wasn't any clear instructions."
Fridge didn't work so food that was brought with us was wasted. Accommodation hadn't been cleaned on arrival, pet hair was found in the bedding so had to sleep on the top of the covers for 2 nights as well as finding clumps of hair inside the shower plug.
-
"Absolutely fabulous stay,will be booking again."
Very clean and welcoming. Fab pod and the hot tub was divine. Perfect and so quiet.
-
"Loved our stay."
Peaceful and relaxing very cute cosy pod with underfloor heating. The grounds and the pod were lovely and clean. Nice welcome basket. left to our own device which we like but could get in touch with owners and maintenance guy if needed. Thanks for a lovely stay x

"We had a great stay."
Everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Only criticism I could find was with the hot tub, it could have done with some attention as the water looked quite murky. We didn't use anyway as weather wasn't that favorable in the evenings.
-
"The oven was left in a very dirty state and there were no scourers on site to clean it, so we had to buy our own."
The fridge door milk shelf had broken and had been left in the cupboard. This made storing milk, awkward. The shower ran hot and cold and there was a strong sewage smell when running it. There was no microwave, no decent mirrors, presumably because of the shape of the pod. The outside lights did not work. Overall, we were disappointed.

"Loved our stay so much."
We are going to book again for next year. Can't wait already. Our puppy loved it too. One or two small issues garden could of been a bit more secure, he kept getting through the conifers at the back near the little tractor and he got under the main gate once too. Another was the hot tub although we still used it, due to the warm weather but it was not heating up very well (I will admit this could of been down to user error, but just in case) I absolutely loved this glamping pod, I've told friends and family about it too. Really impressed with the cleanliness and the small gestures, beautifully decorated. Will 100 percent be back

"Lovely place to rest"
Thank you glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Lovely little set up our first holiday with a reactive dog and was a success xx"
-
"The pod was nice enough and matched the description, however we were put off by the smelly water."
Water is supplied by a bore hole and smells of sulphur dioxide. Drinking bottled water is fine, showering in stinking water not so fine.
-
"I had a great time it’s was so peaceful and there was a direct phone number to call if there was any problems."
Will definitely be staying again very soon
-
"Small but perfectly formed."
Everything of good quality. A rail to hang clothes would be a bonus. Hot tub amazing. Thank you
-
"Excellent little Pod, clean and tidy, very good location."
Hot Tub was ace. No room in pod to hag clothes only downside, however not too much of an issue for short stays.
