Great pod

Glamping Pod - White Clover Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Jul 2026

Lovely clean, well decorated pod. Although we didn’t use the kitchen for cooking I noticed it has everything in it you’d need. The beds are comfortable. The owner is very pleasant and approachable and the animals around the pod make the stay even more pleasant.

Relaxing in the White Clover Pod

Glamping Pod - White Clover Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Apr 2026

It was nice to be welcomed so warmly on arrival. The pod was clean and generally well maintained. We were looking for a few nights away to relax and enjoy some family time with our children and dogs. The site provided exactly that. I loved watching the sheep and lambs in the field in front of the pod with only the sound of the animals and birds in the background. Our teenage children enjoyed the woodfired hot tub and my husband and the dogs walked for miles around the area. The pod was spacious enough for the 4 of us and our 2 dogs. We found the website very helpful and accessible. We will definitely be back.

A note from the site themselves...

We have always loved festivals and the experience of camping under the stars. We enjoyed many getaways in Rosie, our VW Camper. Lockdown was a difficult time, as it was for many, and with redundancy came a time to reassess our family and working life.

The site slowly evolved from those difficult months. We value time together with friends and family more than anything, and Lockdown taught us this more than ever!

The site sits next to our small holding where we keep our horses, goats, sheep and hens. We are always on hand whenever you need us, and we look forward to sharing this very special place with you, Denise and Grant
