About The Gables Pod Camping

This is a single couple only retreat site that offers rest and relaxation. The secluded site is nestled in mature trees that provide the perfect backdrop for your pod. Each pod has its own private wood fired hot tub and is equipped with everything you will need for your stay. Here you'll find a personal touch that will make your stay a memorable one. Walks by the river and lake will restore your inner calm and then you can end your evening having a dip in the hot tub and a cosy night in the pod. This site is perfect for rest and relaxation. Unfortunately the site cannot cater for groups of people, hen or stag nights, family get togethers or guests wanting to book more than one pod.

Open all year
