    “The pod was in a lovely secluded location.”

    Cleanliness of the pod it self was good, it was let down with the hot tub, the hand book says it's emptied on the turn around, we found this hard to believe with water looking cloudy and debris floating around in it. The Comfort of the pod could be improved massively with a new comfier settee and new pillows on the bed.

    Cleanliness of the pod it self was good, it was let down with the hot tub, the hand book says it's emptied on the turn around, we found this hard to believe with water looking cloudy and debris floating around in it. The Comfort of the pod could be improved massively with a new comfier settee and new pillows on the bed. The pod could do with a little bit of TLC, toilet leaks after a few flush, (we did contact the owners about this when we first arrived he said he would come and have a look, it will still leaking at the end of our stay) the kitchette sink was losing water from the seal of the sink plug hole ( we managed to sort this with a small a adjustment), some of the jets in the hot tub don't work, the main floor in the pod is showing a bit of wear and tear possibly due to people transfering from the shower to the tub and back wet and dripping on the flooring this we feel would benefit from a more water proof flooring such as vinyl type laminate being putting down. The main door is difficult to close which is possible from when the bird fly into in the morning. The car park would benefit from signage regarding the use of trolley, they helped with transferring your luggage to and from the pod from the car park. The car park could also do with a bin. The pubs in the village have odd opening times so this needs to be checked regularly, they are family runs pubs and a worth a visit.
