Heron Pod Reviews

We had an amazing time in the pod, had absolutley everything we could have expected. Warm and cosy all night, supplied plenty of logs fir the fire and just made us feel very welcome
Genuinely an amazing place and will not hesitate to return to Heron Pod. The only feedback I could possibly provide that was not gleamingly positive was that the mattress and pillows were less than comfortable. I will bring my own pillows if we return. Other than this, the location was idyllic, the property beautiful and clean and owners extremely helpful without being prying. I have already told friends to book!
Quiet and secluded. Easy to find with directions given you by the Owners. Specifies on a working farm, but was still incredibly quiet during our stay, that we had no idea. If you're not used to a Wood fired hottub, ask the hosts to show you. This is one of the most heat efficient tubs I've used, and was still warm the next morning. Will definitely be back.
Amazing property and hosts. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break away.
