Arrived to find the owners at the pod. They were very welcoming and friendly. The accommodation was exactly as described and had everything needed for a short break. The area is superb and so accessible for walking and our dog loved the enclosure surrounding the pod. My husband and I would recommend this to anyone. Could not believe how much we enjoyed it and extend our heartfelt thanks to Jo and John. We will definitely be back.

Visited this pod in October '23. The pod was very cute and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. A basket of goodies was a really lovely gesture, it included bread bakery items, coffee, tea, biscuits and the fridge had milk and juice inside. The views from the pod were amazing, even had horses in the field. The area was very remote, just a pub that served amazing food. There were also plenty of walking paths through the forest. Would definitely go again, perhaps in the summer - a lovely place.
Our brilliant stay at the Forest Pod!

Me and my girlfriend stayed at the Pod this weekend. We had an amazing time. Jo and John very welcoming and accommodating, they provided excellent service and gave us insight into the local area and which walks to take in the forest! The pod is clean and cosy with everything you need inside. The location is perfect, with enough privacy to feel sheltered and tucked away but close enough to both the excellent pub ‘Leathers smithy’ and forest itself. We will be sure to tell our family and friends about this Pod and plan to visit again later in the summer!

We loved our little break here and were made to feel very welcome. The pod was well equipped with everything we needed and there was a lovely basket of treats on arrival. There was a heater which quickly made it very cosy. The pub (just across the road) is great and the food was good. There are walks around reservoirs and forests right on the doorstep and we really enjoyed exploring the trails with our dog. Thank you for a lovely stay 😊

Lovely little camping pod. Perfect for a few nights break, great location for hiking etc. with many varied routes nearby. Jo and John provided a welcome basket with specific vegan treats for me which was a sweet touch! The pub over the road is really nice and has a great menu with some vegan friendly options, which were delish!
