Outside, each one also has an individual decking with patio furniture and a BBQ. The smaller pod Wren is perfect for two adults, fitted with a double sofa bed with bedding, table and chairs, mini fridge, microwave and patio with BBQ and fire pit outside. Shared toilet and shower facilities are nearby. Dogs are allowed to stay here. The Kingfisher and Woodpecker pods both sleep four people in a double bed and sofa bed with linen provided. There is an ensuite WC but no shower, shared facilities are nearby. These pods are dog friendly. The Robin pod is exactly the same as the Kingfisher and Woodpecker pods, but no dogs are allowed.
