Rosy camping pod (hot tub, pet friendly)
Liked: We loved our stay in Rosy Pod. Check in was easy. Host and cleaning staff friendly and happy to help. The pod had everything we needed and more. Our log heated hot tub was a delight and prepared ready for our arrival. Bed super comfy great sleep in a tranquil setting. The site and pods are well thought out and immaculately kept. The location was great and easy to walk into Southwall.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for a lovely review Mel, very kind of you.
It was great to meet you both and look forward to hosting you again sometime.
Thanks
