Camping Pod - The Forest Ensuite Pod (Dog Friendly)Sep 2024

My partner and I stayed here with our dog and the pod is beautiful, big and very clean. Perfect location with lots of walks nearby. The pub sells beautiful home cooked food and good value for money. We will definitely recommend this pod to all our friends and family and I'm sure we will be returning. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely treat and we are very grateful for it. Massive thank you to Jo & John.
