Testimonials

  • ''Best Pod I've ever stayed in. Picturesque place....working farm...baby lambs everywhere, owner couldn't have done anymore to make us feel welcome. Would go back in a heart beat.''

    Shaun F

  • ''We were greeted by Leanne who was very friendly and then showed us to the shepod. It was spotlessly clean, homely, warm and comfortable with everything you need for a few days away. Great views across the fields towards the Smardale Viaduct and the fells beyond. Plenty of walks from the doorstep, half a mile to the Nature reserve, and in a quiet and peaceful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.''
