Gorgeous Glamping Pods in a stunning setting
Camping pod
Liked I cannot recommend this gorgeous place enough.
Myself, my friend and my two daughters stayed here for 4 nights for the August bank holiday. The grounds are stunning and so well maintained, it was exactly like you see in the pictures online. We arrived to a beautifully clean pod (number 6) and attached bathroom (shower, toilet and sink).
I had sent some 40th bunting for my friend's birthday which was hung up as requested.
Our pod had a double bed (sooooo comfy) a pull out single child's bed underneath and 2 giant bean bags (my daughters aged 8 and 11, slept on the bean bags). There was a decent sized fridge with small ice compartment, a kettle and a toaster. There are 2 USB ports (no plug sockets). We found plugs in the Laundry area (just take your own mirror!)
The gas BBQ was perfect and well received, along with all the utensils / crockery / cutlery you would need.
We were very lucky to have 3 other lovely families in the pods by us and all of our children enjoyed a night down at the firepits (slightly away from the pods) toasting marshmallows.
There is new WIFI but it's intermittent as the location is quite remote.
At the reception there are a few essentials on sale but within a few minutes drive is an Aldi, B&M, Sainsbury's, Co-Op.
During the height of season I recommend taking the Park and Ride which is directly opposite the site. £6 for a family of 4.
Or, unless you head in early, park at Crooklets Beach (its much bigger and far more spaces) and walk to Summerleaze along the beach.
Widemouth Bay is also ALOT easier for parking. This is where we went surfing with OA surf school. The best 2 hours of our holiday! £40 each with wetsuit and board hire included.
The Bank at Bude...BOOK IN ADVANCE and choose an outside eating pod next to the canal. It's not cheap but the Tapas is stunning.
We didn't want to leave after our stay and will 100% be making this an annual trip!
Other mentions - D&D cabs - ask for Donna! and Ed's Taxis. Very friendly and reliable - cash only.
Disliked Not dislikes, just things that could be added;
Drying racks - wetsuits and towels
Hooks - for towels just outside the shower
A large keyfob for the lock - my daughter accidentally dropped the little key with keyring through the decking by the front door ...we spent the first hour trying to fish them out!!!

Really fun experience but showers need updating.
Camping pod
Liked Loved the bean bags, chilled out all evening on those in the sun. Really good equipment in the pod, you really don’t need anything. The pods are lovely and really cool.
Disliked The wet room needed rethinking: the door and ceiling was wood, this made it smell damp.The bolt on the inside had rusted so much that it didn’t lock. The water from the shower didn’t really drain away, we couldn’t find and obvious drain. This meant it was wet all night even with the door open and no rain.
An updated interior on the shower room with all plastic or tile interior and a proper drain would improve greatly.
We also found the gas bbq wasn’t very powerful so we used our own camping stove which was much better.

Liked Loved the pod absolutely brilliant - having the bed/ bbq and power points made life so convenient.
Staff onsite were friendly and helpful.
Would definitely return
Disliked The toilet shower unit attached was a nice addition maybe wasn’t at the same finish standard as the pod but absolutely usable with no complaints and the shower was warm

Not worth the money
Camping pod
Liked The view out of the front and the location.
Disliked The pods looked ideal online, however, the finish of them was below standard for the price paid. They were poorly finished, cracks in the plaster, holes in the door and why they opted for wooden boards over the windows instead of curtains I don't know.
The wet room was again below standard with just bare plywood and a door that would not shut properly. The water pressure in the shower was too low and the water just dripped out of it and then the tap pressure was that high the water sprayed up to nearly the ceiling.
The general cleanliness was low and it appeared that everything had just been swept under the table that the fridge sat on or under the bed (which was made out of surplus deck boards, not making for a comfortable nights sleep).
We left a day early it was that bad.
It could be a 5* if they spent some money refreshing the place and the finishing touches.

Great place
Camping pod
Liked Lovely place. The arts and crafts centre my youngest loved. The setting was perfect and well maintained. Shower was odd at first but lovely warm clean water.
Disliked Nothing really. Maybe some more maintenance on doors and the barbeque which was awkward but I am a tradesman so maybe it's was me being picky.

Overall amazing experience, beautiful pods, saved camping hassle.
Camping pod
Liked Set in beautiful landscaped gardens, nice bench and some outside cooking facilities. Quite extensive washing up areas. Good quality bedding. Lots of space. Stayed cool even in a heatwave. Comes with fridge toaster and kettle. Hose pipe in each pod area to wash down wetsuits. Good close parking. Even comes with nice bean bags to relax on.
Disliked Wet Rooms are slightly strange. (Insane water pressure and abit damp). Got slightly confused on which water was drinkable and not drinkable some taps had labels and some didn't. No WiFi in pod.
