The Pod
The Pod is OPEN FOR THE SUMMER
The Pod is perfectly positioned in the pretty meadow just across the lane from the farmhouse and B&B, where it joins our lovely Shepherd's Hut at a comfortable distance. Offering the same completely self-contained luxury with easy access, the Pod is totally self-contained, spacious and really cosy, thanks to its superb build quality. Simply laid out with a kitchen area, upgraded from the standard and including a fridge, oven and gas hob etc, there's a sofa, table and chairs for seating and a very comfortable double bed. A little shower room with toilet and basin occupies one corner. Light floods in through the large window behind the bed as well as through the floor to ceiling glazing at the entrance. Double doors open out to a small covered veranda and gravel area with hot tub, table and chairs.

Lie back and relax
In a heavenly wood-fired hot tub
Occupying secluded spots, our hot fired hot tubs are a very welcome addition to our Shepherd's Hut and Pod experiences. Each one is positioned out of sight of the other and screened for privacy. There are soft pillows to recline against, and a handy holder for glasses.
The benefits of soaking in a wood-fired hot tub cannot be underestimated. The combination of immersing yourself in warm water that's gently bubbling in the open air surrounded by nature relieves muscle tension, improves ciculation - you literally soak your stresses away. Heavenly during the day and especially restorative after sunset when the sky is filled with stars, you'll be blessed with a very good night's sleep.
- We will show you how to light the log burner when you arrive.
- The tub takes approximately 2 hours to reach optimum temperature.
- We will provide a bag of logs. If you need more we can supply extra for a small charge.
- Don't forget your swimwear and towels!
