Camping pod (hot tub)
Liked Quiet location .Friendly staff (David). Pod was clean. No problems with checking in. Great that you got a bag of logs for each night. The hot tub was hot and ready to go for our arrival. Nice size hot tub .
Disliked One shower for the whole site. Toilets were ready for an update and the sink area to wash up. Mattress could have been a little thicker. Maybe a few hooks inside the pod to save a bit of room .
