Dawn and Andy were very accommodating. The pod is very modern, clean and comfortable, I did not want to return to normality, the views are to die for intact Iâd return for the views alone. The cookies were a nice touch as was the milk. Our two dogs absolutely loved lying watching the sheep. No complaints from us.
