Dux Farm Retreat

Positiv: It’s hard to know where to start as just about everything was perfect. Janine communication before we had even arrived was very good. Plenty of information. Which made finding the location easy and where to park when we got there.

If you want some peace and rest you will be hard pressed to find anything better. The 3 Pods are located in a field to one side of the property. They are well spaced apart so you definitely get the feel of privacy and your own space. As they are a short walk from the carpark trolleys are available to take your baggage to your designated Pod we were in Plum which is actually the furthest away but I also think the best location for privacy.

As you enter the Pod the first thing that hits you is the level of finish it’s been decorated to a very high standard with pretty much everything you need for a stay. In fact you could turn up with just your clothes if you so wished.

Some lovely touches are milk left in the fridge, local eggs left for you to try and welcome cookies in a jar, Tea and Coffee are also available.

Janine made a point of coming out to meet us and during our stay messaged us just to confirm we were ok with everything.

Im very fussy about the beds that I sleep on due to back problems but this bed was so comfortable that I slept really well. The shower is powerful and hot which is quite something considering you are in the middle of a field.

Cooking facilities are very good with an induction hob that is rapid and a microwave. The fridge is a good size so you are able to store quite a large amount of food and drinks. There a small freezer compartment for ice if required.

The Wifi is very good with a strong connection and the TV has a great selection of channels should you wish to use it.


Our visit was New Year so we were not able to use the outside space to it full potential but I imagine it would be a great space in the summer especially the outside bath with is very well secluded. Theres a sofa area and dining table and chairs at the front in your own fenced of space with a fire pit and logs ready to use.

The attention to detail and the thought about the end user is very much apparent in everything.

We are already planning our next visit and will be booking again once dates are confirmed.

Negativ: I would have only one suggestion. As there’s no power in the bathroom and rightly so. There was no mirror that my partner could to do her hair in with straighters or hair dryer. A long mirror on the inside of the cupboard might help this. But it was just a minor thing and certainly had no effect on our stay!!!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Tim, thank you for our amazing review. So thrilled you had a fabulous stay with us. We definitely appreciate all feedback and are in the process of installing full length mirrors in the wardrobe - we had never thought about being able to dry hair in front of a mirror so that is very helpful feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Positiv: What a beautiful place to stay !
Excellent accommodation with attention to detail on those little personal touches, making it home from home . Made such perfect use of the space within and around the pod , giving privacy but an open space feeling too . The outside bath tub was a lovely touch too of an evening .
Hosts were so friendly, helpful and on hand throughout our stay .
Very relaxed break and highly recommend .
