The Walled Garden Pods

Positiv Our pod was very clean, the mattress on the double bed was really comfortable.
We liked the honesty shop and that we could borrow games for the kids.

Negativ No welcome letter/ information sheet.
We had to work out the WiFi for ourselves. There were no instructions for the oven, which we tried to google. The fan blew out warm air.

Positiv Fantastic weekend based at The Walled Garden Pods. They have been really well designed and thought through. It's a beautiful peaceful location. The honesty shop is well stocked with anything you may need including wood for the pizza oven, frozen pizza dough and burgers, ice creams.
On the wall it shows all the photos of the family creating the site a few years back which was a lovely touch.

The pods are well insulated and warm - but can easily be well ventilated. We were there in August but I would be confident to go and enjoy them at colder times of year. We had my daughter and her friend age 11, they slept well, liked the quirkiness of sleeping in a pod, & enjoyed using the free outdoor games also kept in the honesty shop. Everything we needed was in the pod and the kitchenette was very well equipped. Good shower. Everything working well.

In terms of local activities, it's well placed, there are quite a lot of options assuming you're driving. We chose to visit Riverbank Alpacas very nearby and Trentham Gardens about 30 minutes away, as well as doing a local Treasure Trail via the app.

Negativ Not a dislike, just a comment.
It's peaceful because it's rural - so reliable WiFi is not guaranteed.... but also not really needed, it's a perfect place to switch off.
If you're trying to work from there perhaps save this site for another time.

Positiv The location the facilities offered everything was thought of....the pods were an excellent standard and exceptionally well decorated.

Negativ My only negative was that the neighbouring pod couldn't read the signs saying no ball games yet still they continued to play football which made it difficult to get my young grandson to sleep.

Positiv Beautiful setting within the walled garden, calm and peaceful and well maintained. We loved the pod itself - it was spacious, well equipped and nicely decorated. Beds perfect to sleep a family of 5 - all full size so older children will fit too. Good kitchen area, very good shower and bathroom. I liked that washing up liquid, hand soap, salt and pepper, and oil, were provided. We didn’t use the bbq as it would have needed a clean first. The honesty shop is a lovely idea. It was nice that they had things you could borrow, like garden games and a hairdryer. The whole place felt welcoming and like a lot of love had gone into creating it. Lots to do in the area too. Not too far from Uttoxeter either so easy to pick up supplies from a supermarket. We’d definitely come back.

Negativ The oven didn’t seem to work properly.

Positiv What did we like - in a word, EVERYTHING! The hosts, the site, the accomodation, the facilities were all absolutely brilliant. What a wonderful peaceful escape for friends and families - dog friendly too. Would 100% book again.

Positiv Fantastic camping pods
Loved use of the pizza oven
Great location

Negativ We were told there was a shop on site where we could buy firelighters & wood for the pizza oven. Unfortunately they'd run out but when I called the owners they told us where we could purchase just down the road so easily sorted

Positiv We all had a great stay, the garden pod was compact but had everything you need it was very clean and the outdoor bbq area was lovely at night with the fairy lights.
