The pods are insulated and include a lockable door, and look over breathtaking mountain views. Sorry, no pets allowed.

Quiet and easy access, great communication and very clean utilities. A small table in pod would be a bonus.
Pleasantly surprised

We only stayed the one night and really didn't know what to expect when we got there, as we'd not done anything like this before. We were pleasantly surprised at the great location and the clean, warm and comfortable pod, with bedding supplied. The toilet/shower block was spacious and very clean. The central communal area containing BBQs and a large covered table and benches looked very useful though we didn't use it. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. Altogether a positive experience.
Basic but does the job.

The positives: The location is convenient, the pods are basic but clean and spacious. Did the job for one night. Negatives: There is a microwave and fridge/freezer available. However, these are located in the office and so are not available outside of opening hours. Not everyone has access to a camping stove. When booking, you are required to give a time for check in, with a time limit for check in of 8pm. However, when we arrived, there was no check in procedure, our name and our pod number was posted in the window. Had we known then we wouldn't have had to rush to be there in time for check in. Less expensive than other accommodation in the area, but still expensive for what you get.
